TAKEN With her djinn lover imprisoned by a survivalist group intent on eradicating all his kind, Jessica Monroe teams up with another of the Chosen to make the dangerous journey into the heart of Los Alamos.

FORSAKEN Ever since the Dying, Madison Reynolds has been in hiding. Leaving her underground sanctuary means risking her life at the hands of vengeful elementals hellbent on killing off the world's few remaining survivors.

The only way to save her is reveal the extent of his magic…and trust that love will light her way to the safety of his arms. STOLEN Cornered by a djinn who’s been tracking her, Leila braces herself to be killed. Instead, her captor kisses her—and whisks her away to sanctuary. Once Malik convinces her that she is his Chosen, she’ll be safe. But evil waits for Malik to turn his back for one crucial moment…. FORGOTTEN When the Heat wipes out most of humanity, Deirdre builds a device that disables any nearby djinn. Amaal, trapped by one human woman carrying a device capable of rendering him helpless, resolves to use their attraction to gain her trust — and his freedom. He just never expected to lose his heart. DRIVEN Bailey easily eludes the djinn reavers in her “salvaged” Porsche…until she encounters the one djinn who just won’t give up. Guilt nearly crushes Nasim when he causes Bailey to crash. As she heals, he realizes she’s his Chosen. If he wins the race for her heart — best two out of three.

He’s determined to destroy humankind…until her tiny spark of magic changes everything. With her entire family wiped out by the Djinn-created plague called the Heat, there’s no one left to teach Isla Dunbar how to use the magic tingling deep in her body. She lives among the other survivors in the thriving Los Alamos settlement, protected by an ingenious device that repels djinn reavers. But she’s lonely. In fact, when it comes to hooking up, Isla would rather just die a virgin. When she’s tricked into wandering out of the safe zone, Isla is kidnapped by a threatening djinn determined to disable the Los Alamos device and wipe out the last of humanity. But Isla is just as determined to resist his intense interrogation — and the temptation of his dark eyes, golden skin, and shiver-inducing smile. If Aamir al-Qadir thought he would intimidate Isla into giving up all she knows, he thought wrong. Her beauty and sass are distracting enough, but something about her catches him off-guard. She’s no ordinary human, but a creature of untapped magic that makes her a prize for the power-hungry djinn. Without conscious thought, Aamir’s focus shifts from destroying Los Alamos to protecting the unusual woman who’s stolen the one thing he thought impenetrable…his heart.
