When dealing with demons, the devil’s in the details… Stealing mystical and arcane artifacts is a dangerous business, especially for a human, but Zoey Wharton is an exceptional thief. The trick to staying alive is having friends in all the wrong places. While having a witch and a werewolf on the payroll helps, being partners with a vampire really opens doors. Zoey and Daniel were childhood sweethearts until a violent car crash took his life and left her shattered. When Daniel returned from the grave as a vampire, his only interest in Zoey was in keeping her safely apart from the secrets of his dark world. He has vowed to protect her, but his heart seems as cold as the night he calls home. Five years later, a mysterious new client named Lucas Halfer offers Zoey a fortune to steal the Light of Alhorra. The search for the Light leads Zoey into the arms of an earthbound faery prince. Devinshea Quinn sweeps her off her feet, showing her everything the supernatural world has to offer, but Daniel still calls to her heart. As the true nature of the Light is revealed, Zoey discovers Halfer is a demon and much more than money is at stake. Per her contract, she must give him the Light or spend an eternity in Hell. What’s a girl to do except fight for her soul…and her heart. A Thieves Novel by Lexi Blake

Mated to three large alpha shifters? No way, Leah decides. She might be an omega, but who says she needs to follow every dust-covered tradition?

Unfortunately, her uncle is also the Alpha, the pack leader. And he has too many unmated males to deal with. Still, Leah refuses to solve the Alpha’s ‘problem’.

It wasn’t a great success. Her mind seemed to be constantly churning on how she could avoid her fate. But so far, no good ideas had come forward. She needed to calm down. That would help her mind work more efficiently. But even a long, warm shower had failed to calm her nerves. She dried her hair and got dressed. Taking some comfort in doing what she always did in the morning. There had to be a way out of this mess. Some miracle that would restore her life to normal and wake her up from this nightmare. As she left the bathroom, Leah heard her mother call from the story below her. "Leah?" "Yes?" "There's someone here to see you." "Who?" "Come down and see for yourself, dear." Leah had a strong suspicion who it might be. Taren. Otherwise, her mother would have said so. She had briefly told her mother what her uncle had ordered her to do. Her mother had seemed relieved, but she hadn’t nagged about it. Instead, she had kept her questions to a minimum, as if she sensed Leah was too shocked to want to talk about it. In fact, she didn’t even want to think or talk about the mating. She wanted to forget the whole thing. But the people around her wouldn’t forget. Particularly not if her so-called mate would become a frequent visitor to her house. Leah heard muttered voices coming from the living room as she moved closer. Fearing the meeting, yet it was better to know. She stood in the doorway and looked inside. At the same time, they stopped talking and turned their attention to her. Even if she had moved silently, it felt like she had barged in. Leah stiffened when she saw Taren wasn’t the only visitor. Three large men towered over her mother. Each of them so large and broad, their living room suddenly felt tiny. Their faces turned to her. Leah felt their eyes scan her entire body from top to toe. As if they were weighing her, judging her. ——————
