Kayla Williams is a successful fast food restaurant owner in downtown Hilton Head, SC. She is a single, sexy woman whose rocky love life with an on again/off again boyfriend, David Sutton has gone from bad to worse. She has given David several many chances, but after his disappearing acts, womanizing, and drinking become too much, she ends their relationship...or so she thinks. Cole Lewis is much more than a handsome face. The successful co-owner of a hip-culture magazine, he can have his pick of any woman. But Cole has been there and done that. His break up with ex-girlfriend Cassandra Pickwell shows him that women are nothing but trouble. He makes the decision to swear off women while he takes the time to work on promoting his magazine. Unfortunately, one look at Kayla and there goes that little plan... David Sutton is out of jail and he wants his woman. He's been watching Kayla and waiting for the right moment to let her know that he's back. His attempts to show her how much she needs him backfire because they draw her closer to Cole. David watches from afar until he can't take anymore, which makes him take his threats to the next level. Kayla and Cole are engaged in a desperate struggle with David after he kidnaps them. In his warped mind, if he can just show Kayla how much he loves her, he can fix their relationship. Kayla and Cole realize that they may not make it out alive, but they are willing to do anything, make any sacrifice for their lives.

Someone—or rather something—broke into the local taxidermy shop and took bites out of the critter displays before racing off into the dark. But this is no random crime and Violet knows it. With a bounty on her head and troublemakers zeroing in on her, she soon goes from being the hunter to the hunted. “Burly muscled and rawhide tough don’t matter. Never tangle with a Scharfrichter!” ~Violet Parker

Fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series and Lauren Kate's Fallen novels will devour The Beautiful and the Cursed, a wholly original interpretation of gargoyle lore. After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and her younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris. In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties for Ingrid, and, disturbingly, the house her twin brother, Grayson, was sent ahead to secure for the family isn't a house at all. It's an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures. And Grayson is missing. Yet no one seems worried about his whereabouts save for Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home. Ingrid is sure her twin isn't dead--she can feel it deep in her soul--but she knows he's in grave danger, and that it's up to her and Gabby to find him before all hope is lost. The path to Grayson will be twisted, leading Ingrid to discover dark secrets and otherworldly truths that, once uncovered, can never again be buried.
