Circumstance tends to bend our lives, sometimes in a direction of discomfort. Nicky Cain thought the favor he owed was a one time thing. Even a gun feels foreign in his hand. But now he's been offered a new sports car, a beautiful home and a name for himself in the City of Haven. Having being raised with nothing, Nicky finds himself in the midst of temptations hard to turn down. All he has to do is toughen up his conscience and not question what he's been told to do. He's getting in too deep, and the circumstances keep presenting themselves including a beautiful woman who captivates his heart. Haven is sucking him in and becoming too much like a home. Nicky Cain has to face the fact that sometimes you don't choose the mob life, the life chooses you.

Having two women wanting you at the same time ... isn't that every man's fantasy? Wrong. It's a nightmare, at least for Darin Thorne. The doctors had assured him his wife was going to die, sooner or later, so he'd moved on with someone else. Then he'd gotten the last call he'd expected to ever get-his wife was back from the dead. She's coming home from the hospital and needs a place to stay. Darin is forced to invite her to come home with him. Two women living under the same roof, one his wife, the other his fiancé. Could this ever work? Darin feels a storm brewing in his life. He can't possibly live like this much longer. The question still stands ... which woman will he choose?

When Anna becomes separated from Emry, she has no other choice but to explore the foreign world of Evadere on her own. She soon discovers that it is tainted from a stirring turmoil among the people. Evadere has been a place of respite and escape from the difficulties of Earth for Anna and Emry, but alone on Evadere, Anna is pulled into the stirrings of an uprising between the Scaves and the ones who force them to live as scavengers. Anna is determined not to let the fear and attempts on her life stop her from finding her way back to Emry. But Anna is shocked when she discovers who Emry really is, the forces of evil supporting him and how the temptations in paradise have been misleading them both. It will take all the strength and determination Anna and Emry possess to survive Evadere, even as the killing starts ...

The depths of his soul are as black as his eyes. He's a thief and a murderer. Add kidnapping to the list now that he's taken me, forced me away from my father's house in the middle of the night. There's no room for mercy in his dead heart. He's driven by purpose, and I keep messing up his plans. So he hates me. He punishes me. He's my captor, and there's nothing I can do to change that. But then he's forced to make a decision-keep me or let someone else have me? He's still my captor, but also a kind of savior now too. Somehow things have changed between us. I can see it in his eyes. He doesn't like it, but he can't stop the motion from going forward. He wants me in a different way, and it's killing him to give in to his desires. I'm beginning to see that sometimes even a dead heart, even one belonging to Creed, can be revived.

Life is good-too good. When you have everything at your fingertips, it's like a ticking bomb just waiting to go off. Nicky Cain's just biding his time until everything explodes in his face. The City of Haven fears him. He's risen to power and brought along with him a reputation for brutality that knows no mercy. After a little taste, he now craves more respect, more power, more money. But there is still one unanswered question-who is Carmine's murderer? Paranoia is setting in as Nicky is constantly looking over his shoulder. Someone's waiting for Nicky to slip. He can feel it. They're passing time until the right moment to send Nicky spiraling to his grave. It's keeping him up at night, and even his relationship with Lilah suffers. Who's on his side? Who's against him? His life has become a giant game of chess. He needs to figure out who are his pawns. Someone else wants to be king. Nicky Cain just hopes he can play smart enough to call checkmate first.

Home. What does that word mean to you? To me it means a feeling of comfort, security, feeling like I belong. Home is where I'm by Lydic's side. It's been a whole year. I miss him. I miss the danger that follows him. I miss feeling untouchable because of his magic. My own realm is no longer my home. But how can I live with the guilt of vanishing again? It will kill my parents, especially my mom. She just won't understand. No one will. I can't tell them about Nimbus. They already think I'm crazy. I have my own psychologist picking and prodding my brain. It doesn't matter how much they question me. I'll never tell them about the magic. I find myself wondering about Lydic, how he's been and what it would be like to see him again-and then I do.

An accident. A coma. Another woman stealing her husband's heart. Livvy Thorne has been through hell. She's just gotten Darin back, and with Violet now out of the picture, she can focus on her marriage and the anticipated arrival of their newborn son. Having a family, that's not too much to ask for, is it? A heart attack. A hospital. More pain. Another man is about to step into Livvy's life to help her through the torments she's experiencing. Will she lean on him and forget everything she's worked so hard to get back? Sometimes our destiny is to be happy, uplifted, and content. Other times our destiny stabs us in the back, laughs at our suffering, and pushes us down.

Sometimes us silly girls fantasize about things that never come to be. I had expectations after college-expectations to run off with Jake Larson and start our life together in a little Pennsylvania farm town. I had my happiness mapped out inside my head. I didn't expect to run into a strange, alluring man with a beard and dark hair stacked up on top of his head. I didn't expect to be attracted to someone so-different. He was everything I didn't know existed. He could make me feel things I'd never felt before. It didn't seem possible that we could be together. We both had obligations. The world told us no, but we couldn't stay away from one another, couldn't deny that we were drawn together. He was so beautiful-so beautiful rugged. I was going to make him mine.
