    Summary

    After the Hale fire, Beacon Hills yearns for blood.


    Few know what the Hales are (werewolves, the eyes and the fangs whispers).

    Most know what the Hales really are (protectors, the broken bones and unhealed injuries remember).

    So when the house catches fire, and two shellshocked children cry while covered in ash, and a man burns and burns and burns (and screams and screams and screams), the people know.

    Even when the words ‘electrical fire’ come out, even when two broken hearted children run, even when there is no proof: Beacon Hills knows, and the Nemeton knows, and her people know.

    And they wait, in bated silence.

    And they whisper, as they wait.

    And they write, as they wait.

    And they wait, they wait, they wait.

    Summary

    In the cutthroat world of family law, two rival divorce attorneys find themselves on opposing sides of a bitter, high-stakes court battle.

    For attorney Violet Sorrengail, this case is deeply personal: her client's husband is a face from her past—the man who scorned her years ago. As she faces off against her rival, the sharp and handsome Xaden Riorson, a new tension emerges.

    It's a clash of wills and intellect that sparks an undeniable attraction, turning a professional rivalry into a dangerous game where lines are about to blur.

    Summary

    Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!

    Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.

    Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

    Summary

    "Sink a pirate's ship. Scatter his crew to the four winds never to be seen again. Don't kill them, you don't want to invite retribution in your life. Slash his Jolly Roger and that's how you rid yourself of a pirate."

    Roger had heard the old wives’ tale more than once across the islands they had visited. Drunks in bars loved to repeat it when the booze flowed fast enough. It was old enough by now that no one remembered who truly originated it. Many laughed about it; marines in particular found it distasteful. ‘The only way to rid yourself of a pirate is to kill it,’ they’d bluster, hand on their weapons.

    An old wives’ tale. One that Roger was considering now that Crocus had somehow managed to cure him.
