He has a Network of eyes and ears in every corner of the realm reporting to him and Snow alone. Now the Network is humming with news of a traitor among Snow's noble court, someone who feeds vital information to detractors through the most innocuous place imaginable: a brothel.It is vital that Beau identify the threat, but that means spending days on end in a house of pleasure, where the woman he's secretly loved for the last ten years is determined to keep him in her bed. For the sake of the kingdom, he must endure. But can he resist?

The nights are warm, the ground is soft, and Haig happens to be a very practical kind of guy. Who cares if he's the hunter or the prey?

They say no good deed ever goes unpunished, a sentiment Dara understands fully now that she is paying for a crime she didn't commit. It was stupid to call in a murder she didn't really see. But how could Dara have kept silent? Now a stunning-scratch that, a dangerous-man with a frightening secret of his own is telling her he can help. Yeah, right. A telepath knows better than to trust mere words.The last decade of Tristan's life has been penance. All that time spent among the worst dregs of society might have made him begin to question his humanity, but he's never felt so much like an animal as he does around this timid, delicate female. Her very presence stirs the beast within him; Tristan can feel it growing stronger every day. Any more time with Dara, and it might overpower him completely. But without her, he stands no chance at all…

One thing alone is certain: When demons fly, the world will burn…

The kingdom of Wilderheim stands bastion between the world of humans and the Otherlands.

War is coming. Protests against chem-treatments are turning into bloody riots, and soldiers patrol the streets in every major city. It's only a matter of time before the resistants, those unaffected by the treatments, band together and turn on everyone else. Senator Griffith has been preparing for it. He has created an army so powerful and dedicated that rumors of it are used to scare little children into behaving. They call themselves the Shadows. As a Hawk, their most capable hunter, John Wayland has a new assignment to complete: Capture a telepath. Emma Calen is easy prey. A young girl on the run from the law, cut off from her own people, she falls right into his clutches. It isn't long, however, before he discovers that catching her was the easy part. Watching her fall to pieces before his eyes is what will test him the most. But surely this can't last much longer… can it?When a soldier sweeps down on Emma and chases her out of hiding, she's sure it's to make her pay for her crime. But this is no ordinary soldier, and the people he's working for are not after her record, they want her mind. Locked in a hell specially designed for telepaths, Emma has a front row seat to the disintegration of her own sanity. They want to break her. They will fail. Emma will die before she lets the Shadows use her against her family and friends. But maybe there is still hope for her. A delicate, fragile sliver of hope in the most unlikely place of all. The Shadow Hawk guarding the door.

Some things a woman can never prepare for. Like being locked inside her own home with a maniac who insists that she inject him with a highly unstable virus and help him liberate a planet. Oh, but Amelia's not a hostage, she's an "employee." Bad enough he's so eager to die, but he keeps asking for far more than her doctor-patient responsibilities. And the longer Amelia spends with him, the more reasonable it all seems. The trouble comes when reason starts to fail her.All Gabriel has left to lose is his life, which he will gladly give up if he can take his enemies down with him. To do that, he'll need an advantage only Dr. Chase can provide-if she agrees. With the face of an angel and the devil's hand on her shoulder, every rumor about the female has turned out to be true, and Gabriel soon finds there is something he desires even more than his long overdue revenge. But the wheels have already been set in motion and there may be far more at stake than Gabriel ever realized…

The plan was simple: show everyone how brilliant she really is. Fast forward past everything going horribly wrong to where Hailey is now… dying. The only upside left is the gorgeous mind reader who seems to have trouble staying out of her most unguarded fantasies. Too bad he's dragging her back to the one place she doesn't want to go.The plan is never simple-and this new assignment is making it painfully clear that 'normal' is just not meant for Jeremy. It couldn't be as easy as getting the impossible female back home. No, he has to play protector to a woman who doesn't want one, doesn't need one, and has a tendency to cause total chaos with one heated look.But time is running out and the seemingly imagined threat is far more real than either of them anticipated. When all comes down to a single choice, which will it be: A life worth living, or one worth dying for?
