Her head tells her he’s an impudent rake. So why does the rest of her still want him? Mai knows to beware of ever drawing any carnal interest, and has learned to never lower her guard. Despite how isolated her cynical manner has made her within the newly resurrected Dark Court, she cannot imagine letting anyone closer, not while the court is focused on defeating a powerful evil intent on destroying their world. So why do her eyes always turn to the arrogant commander who flirts as much as he breathes, and whose mysterious past makes him her most dangerous ally? Propriety has always attracted him—the stiffer the better. What a contemptible pleasure it would be reducing hers to ash… Rosuke has been drawn to the fiery valor within Mai’s walled-off heart since the moment he met her, but he's held back from melting her icy reserve, all too aware of how unworthy he is of her. But the moment he overhears the reason she keeps her distance—and that she wishes to understand why the pursuit of pleasure can become an obsession—he sets out to fulfill her wish, hoping to atone for his shameful past before time runs out and a hopeless war begins… ♥♥♥ Drawn into Oblivion is a full-length "dark lite" fantasy romance featuring demons, magic powers, and a steamy romance between a 300-plus-year-old reformed rake and the resolute court Elder struggling to resist him.

She's a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . . Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She's the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Elena's sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he's just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn't like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice. And he's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made Man . . . right? This is a standalone forbidden romance.

Sixteen-year-old Callie Knowles fights her compulsion to write constantly, even on herself, as she struggles to cope with foster care, her mother's life in a mental institution, and her belief that she killed her father, a minister, who has been missing for a year.

We each inhabit many worlds, often at the same time. From worlds on the inside, to the world on a cosmic scale. Worlds imposed on us, and worlds of our own making. In time, though, all worlds will end. Bear witness: After the death of their grandmother, two cousins return to their family's rural homestead to find a community rotting from the soul outward, and a secret nobody dreamed their matriarch had been keeping. The survivors of the 1929 raid on H.P. Lovecraft's town of Innsmouth hold the key to an anomalous new event in the ocean, if only someone could communicate with them. The ultimate snow day turns into the ultimate nightmare when it just doesn't stop. An extreme metal musician compels his harshest critic to live up to the hyperbole of his trolling. With the last of a generation of grotesquely selfish city fathers on his deathbed, the residents of the town they doomed exercise their right to self-determination one last time. As history repeats itself and the world shivers through a volcanic winter, a group gathers around the shore of a mountain lake to once again invoke the magic that created the world's most famous monster. With Skidding Into Oblivion, his fifth collection, award-winning author Brian Hodge brings together his most concentrated assortment yet of year's best picks and awards finalists, with one thing in common: It's the end of the world as we know it . . . and we don't feel fine at all.
