But admission to law school is Libby’s ticket out of Indiana and her escape from small town life forever. During a night on the town, Libby beats the most competitive athlete on campus at pool and draws more attention from him than she’s prepared for. Aidan Palowski is one of those jocks your friends warned you about—the kind that never loose—the kind that put notches in their baseball bats. As the closing pitcher on the best baseball team in the Big Ten, he’s on his way to the major leagues. Aidan always gets what he wants and Libby is the final home run he wants to hit out of the park. The last thing Libby needs is to get sidetracked by a superstar jock. Afraid that she might be on a collision course with love at first sight Libby keeps her distance, but the longer she holds out the more Aidan realizes it’s a case of lust he can’t fight. What happens when worthy opponents refuse to play their hearts out? CUTTERS VS.

A man who always gets what he wants. Chicago sports agent, Cyrus Fletcher is giving the full court press to an NBA rookie to sign with his agency by gifting him a weekend jaunt in Las Vegas. But the rookie wants to make it a couple’s weekend and Fletch needs a date. Fletch has had his eye on a particular woman, but he hasn’t found the right way to approach her until she cold calls his office looking for work. Fletch devises a plan that will net him the rookie, a rewarding weekend with the sexiest redhead he’s ever seen, and a huge signing bonus. A woman who makes a splash in the boardroom or the bedroom. Tricia is the Master of Many Trades, but her public relations business is tanking. If Tricia doesn’t hook a big-time client soon, not only will she be evicted from her office building, she’s going to lose every penny she’s already invested. When Fletch makes her an offer to pose as his ‘date’ for the weekend, she can’t refuse the money. Tricia’s only problem is, Fletch doesn’t believe she’s in PR, he thinks she’s a master of the oldest profession, but Tricia is savvy enough to seize the opportunity to save her company without giving ‘it’ up. Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t end in Vegas.

Locke embraces the magical legacy he wields, but it didn’t help him save the girl he loved. Now he’ll have to use everything he’s learned since the Seer’s death to safeguard Keleigh and find a magical object hidden and only whispered about for centuries. By the light of the next blue moon, the ShiningOnes plan to infiltrate this realm and retrieve the mighty relic. The Elders are prepared to sacrifice anyone to acquire it. The Sisters will manipulate anyone to safeguard it. While every other witch in the Order whispers and warns about the artifact’s power, Locke and Keleigh follow clues from her mother’s message, hoping to retrieve it. But if Locke and Keleigh don’t locate the relic first, the battle brewing between sacred knowledge and modern communication will destroy everything—even their love. When fairy tales hold ancient secrets, many may have to be revealed because something greedy this way comes.

A powerful vate and the last in her line, Keleigh denies the potent magic singing through her blood because she wants to be Ordinary. Keleigh has the ability, but not the training, to save her parents from slaughter by beasts most only see in horror movies. But after they perish, her mother reaches out from the OtherWorld, freeing Keleigh from her oath never to practice magic and imploring her to find an ancient relic powerful enough to destroy this realm. Keleigh, no longer able to deny her true calling, begrudgingly turns to her sworn enemy for help. Locke is a damaged druid whose family is entrusted with keeping witches cloaked in the Ordinary world in Salem. But Locke has a mission of his own, one that might not align with Keleigh’s. Can the two come together to find the ancient artifact in time to save each other and the world from plunging into complete chaos? This fairy tale is about to become deadly because all’s fair in vanity’s war.

Fairy tales aren’t supposed to be deadly, but anything can happen on Halloween night in Salem … even a human sacrifice. When a supernatural beast murders a sixteen-year-old girl, her soul is reawakened as an OtherWorldly being. Now, as the Seer, she is destined to serve the Order, even as she craves retribution. Invisible, isolated, and confused, she rejects her calling and seeks solace in the one thing she believes is real: her connection to Locke … only he can’t see her, or feel her presence. Determined to find some way to warn Locke of the danger he’s in the Seer sets out to discover the truth behind the clandestine Order. Unfortunately, those who are like her fear her, and only one acknowledges her existence—Tristan, a Guardian sentenced to defend the Order at all costs. Soon Tristan discovers something sinister, something that cannot only destroy the Seer, but every witch in the Order. To protect the one she loves and regain the life she lost, the Seer must join forces with Tristan and save the thing responsible for taking her away from the world to which she desperately wants to return.
