Barely escaping her marriage alive, Emelia Cipollini has resolved to live a quiet life in the countryside, but fate has other plans. With her ex out of prison, the loss of her job, and a heartbreaking rejection, all arrows point toward a new beginning in Seattle with best friend, Cooper Hale. Shane Richardson, drummer for world famous rock band, Hautboy, complicates things. His habits are anything but conforming to her lifestyle, but when the bad boy plays it straight, will he stay off the drugs and alcohol long enough to win her trust, or will he become a repeat of her past?

Paisley Shaw has rules about dating. Coworkers and bosses are strictly off limits, and for good reason. She has too much to lose, like her job, her apartment, and ultimately her newfound independence from her twelve-yes, twelve-siblings. But surely the innocuous medical student, Henry Powell, couldn't do any harm. Or is he just a stepping stone to larger transgressions? Jake Whalen has his own set of rules. No sleeping with relatives of bandmates or stage crew. No ifs. No buts. No excuses. He instilled the rules for a reason. Keyboardist for the infamous rock band, Hautboy, he's followed them to the T in order to keep his little sister off the playing field. When one wittingly crosses the line, they'll both face the consequences. But rules are made to be broken. And perhaps the sting of discipline can be enticing.

The fiery-haired, tempestuous, Brynja Teare, lived anything but an average childhood. Her change in address was as unpredictable as the shift in weather, undergoing a life on the run in order to conceal her ability to govern thunder and lightning, wind and storms. Along with her father's recent desertion, she lost the answers to a long list of questions. For starters, why does she possess such powers? And from whom, if anyone, for all these years, have they been running? When a chance encounter places her across the path of highlander Galinn Gunn, she has the opportunity to discover the key to her past. But is the fairytale world she imagined, the life she actually desired? Or has her repressed life on the run merely been an unsettling glimpse of her future? In her quest to find the answers, she must distinguish the truths from the lies, but deciding whom she can trust, and who is out to deceive her is not a simple task, because in her real life fairy nightmare, nothing is black and white.

Brynja knew that her life was no fairytale, but she hadn't expected Galinn's pride to come before their union. Worse yet, she discovers the truth about the hounds closest to her. Their betrayal sends her spiraling into a dark abyss of depression that set new standards, even for someone raised by the impassive Hallstæin Gunn. When she finds herself in the custody of the Teine King, things don't improve. There, she contends with the attentions of Daniel Macaulay and Tûrin's vengeful subjects. Will Tûrin take advantage of her desolation to steal her heart, or will he only exacerbate matters with his uninvited affections, and send her following her mate to the halls of Valhalla?
