Once, Jackson Richards had it in spades. As a member of the United States Special Forces, he fought alongside the bravest and most capable men he’d ever known. Then one mistake landed them all in hell. For six months, he fought. But one terrible day, his captors learned the full extent of his skills, and that sealed his fate.

Ryker McCabe. Former Special Forces. Survived 15 months in an Afghan prison, tortured within an inch of his life. His scars - and his fears - keep him alone. Disconnected from the world. From his team. From any hope of redemption. Until he meets her. Wren Kane. Hacker extraordinaire. Desperately searching for her brother. When police find his body in a drug den, she knows there's more to his death than an overdose. He'd promised he was clean. And then, she finds the message he left her.

For more than 20 years, I lived by my Air Force code. Until I made a choice. Put my family first. Something a soldier is never allowed to do. Now I don’t know who I am. Or where I belong. Getting lost in Mexico sounds like a good idea, but with only guilt and regret as my constant companions, I’ll never figure it all out. Until a chance meeting in a hotel bar changes my course.

I can't escape my past. West wants to be my future. When West, a former SEAL and my online gaming buddy, begged me to meet him IRL (in real life), one word, one touch, one look sent me fleeing like a coward. Back to my keyboard, online gaming, and the deadline that could make or break my whole programming career. Back where I'm safe. Problem is, West followed.

After a stint in the Irish Defense Forces, I drifted. No purpose, no place I felt truly at home. Until I joined Second Sight, Boston's leading security and protection firm. It's more than a job. It's a family. One I don't deserve. One of these days, they'll see through my sarcasm and bravado and realize I'm just a screw up. My first solo assignment? Hunt down a trained assassin and stop her. Whatever it takes. But the more I learn about Zephyr, the more I wonder if there's more to this case than meets the eye.

Inara's never second-guessed a shot, not until the disaster in Colombia - the disaster that led to Coop's death. Drifting, off-balance, her emotions out of control, she has to pull it together before she's benched for good. Royce understands Inara's pain. A stroke may have broken his body, but a mountain of guilt crushed his soul. He needs to pick up the shattered pieces of his life and rebuild. He's a fighter, but sometimes even the strongest warrior needs someone on his side. When Inara's past threatens Royce's future, she has to take a stand.

I thought I’d left my past behind. With fatherhood only days away, I’m even willing to hand over the reins of Hidden Agenda to West Sampson, a retired SEAL and the best damn tactical genius on the planet. Until a man follows Wren after her baby shower, and I’m forced to confront shadows I thought I’d long banished. A group of ruthless killers are after me, but they don’t care who gets in the way. And they’re not above using my pregnant wife and unborn baby to exact their revenge.

Hell fractured my soul into dust and left me broken, yet I deserved so much worse. Finally free from Lucifer’s torment, I must atone. But the lives I took and the pain I caused haunt me every day. Half angel, half demon, but nowhere near whole. Until I meet her. I should not want Zoe Dawes, but she whispers her desires in my dreams and chases away my nightmares. When an ancient evil returns, only I can stop him.

In the past three weeks, I’ve gone from a boring adjunct college professor to seeing my own ghostly doppelgänger around every corner. I’m apparently a witch. Thanks, Universe. A little heads up would have been nice. Now, a secret government organization is trying to force me to wield my power for their own dark desires. Just as they’re about to bring the pain, I’m saved by an honest-to-God—yes, that God—angel. He smells nice. His voice is like spun gold. And when he holds me? I’m ashamed to admit…I swoon.

He's the richest man in Boston. The world is his for the taking. So why can't he forget about the woman who literally fell at his feet in the middle of a downpour? Elizabeth has no job, a bank account that won't last the month, and a stubborn streak of independence that keeps her at arm's length. In her, Alexander sees a lifetime of pain and an untrained submissive unlike any he's ever met - one with fire and strength and fierce intelligence.

I spent half of my CIA career at the bottom of the bottle, and still managed to do my job. But seeing one of my only friends tortured within an inch of his life is a great motivator to get clean—and retire somewhere no one actively wants to kill me.

Do the job. Free the high-value target from a compound in Afghanistan and get out. Simple, right? Until I saw her. She begged me for help. I didn't think. Grabbed her and her kid and ran. FUBAR didn't even come close to covering what happened next. And then I disappeared. It doesn't matter that I had no choice. That the President of the United States ordered me to do the job. I still abandoned them. When she's in trouble, I cant stay away. But how can I convince her my darkness will destroy her?

Griffin Hargrove: I was CIA elite. Until a terrorist attack stole my arm and most of my hearing. I don’t know what my old boss, Austin Pritchard, is thinking, hiring a broken relic like me. But he trusts me, and that kind of loyalty is a balm to my shattered self-worth. Sloane is more beautiful than pictures can show and bruised in ways that can’t easily be seen. No one has told her I’m her bodyguard, but someone better clue her in soon, because she’s spooked. And the longer I watch her, the more I need to protect her.

I don’t do impulsive. Impulsive killed the love of my life. Stole my one shot at happiness. So when I heard about a K&R firm in Seattle lookin' for new recruits, I took a chance. They say they’re a family, but I’m still an outsider. Maybe that’s by choice. This orderly, controlled life ain’t the one I wanted, but I’m making the best of it. Until I meet a man who sets me on fire. We burn hot, but he’s got secrets. Then again, so do I. I’m starting to think nothing can douse these flames. Except a killer hell-bent on revenge.

His entire life, he was trained to do one thing. Kill vampires. Until he had to make an impossible choice and run from the very people he used to call family. In St. John's, he found a place he could settle down. A place the Hunters would never find him. But his haven turns out to be anything but safe when a beautiful shield maiden walks into the pub where he's slinging drinks. Now, evil threatens the entire world and the local coven likes to interfere - with everyone and everything. And it's really too bad that shield maiden is a vampire. Or...is it?

Centuries old, the vampire never dreamed he’d meet his end in a silver cage. Or by a human’s hand. After years of torture, he's ready to give up hope. Until he meets his torturer’s beautiful daughter. Trapped in a life she didn’t choose, under her father’s control, Evangeline longs for escape. For freedom. Until the vampire calls to her. Will she risk everything to free him? Or will the secrets in her blood destroy them both?

What do you do when the Angel of Death asks you to steal from one of the most powerful covens in the world?You leave the celestial realm, give up your wings, and sneak into the coven's lair while they're all partying it up in New Orleans. Or, at least that was Maddox Calder's plan. Until a curse leaves him dazed - and in the path of an oncoming car. Hit by a curse after only half a glass of wine, Killian flees, but finds a handsome, broken man in the street, begging for help. Something about Maddox calls to him.

Graham Peck had his life planned out. Serve in the Coast Guard like the rest of his family. See the world. But an innocent New Year’s kiss - with another man - leads to a vicious attack that forces him back into civilian life. A life he has no idea how to navigate. Until he hooks up with a group of deadly, battle-worn soldiers. They don’t care who he loves - as long as he stays on mission.

Devan Windsom has a problem. Someone's trying to scare her into selling her coffee shop, Artist's Grind, only weeks before Christmas. But Devan doesn't scare easily. The shop is her life, and she's proud of her coffee and the locally-made baubles she sells.

After a beating that almost killed me, I’m one failed fitness test away from losing my FBI career. I should be focused on grinding out the reps to rebuild my broken body, not on the pretty brunette at the gym.
