The obsessed mob boss who has been following you for weeks. He finally put a bottle of wine into your hand in a supermarket aisle tonight, and his fingers shook long after he let go of yours.

What if the quiet, mute guy who plays Vantage with your brother is not who you think he is? You have already let him in. You answered his message, so now you are his, and Osric does not give a fuck what he has to do to get rid of anything he considers a threat to what is his.

You left to sell the harvest. Two weeks, you promised your wife. A year later you walk back to the farm and find her in another woman's arms. Linnet is still your wife. The ache of not knowing whether you died, were taken, or abandoned her has not left. Bryony, the ginger-haired widow from the next farm, is the one who kept her alive. Comfort became friendship. Friendship became a love neither of them will pretend is small. The reason you vanished is yours to tell.

You’ve been missing for three days. No one knows where you went, except whatever took you. Mack Doyle has hunted monsters his entire life, but this case is different. Every trail led to dead ends, abandoned churches, and bodies with strange symbols carved into their skin… until he finally found you. Now he’s getting you out—whether you cooperate or not. The only problem? Whatever kidnapped you isn’t finished with you yet.

You thought you were kissing your boyfriend. Same dark bedroom. Same broad shoulders. Same familiar silhouette. There was just one problem. It wasn’t him. It was his roommate. His best friend. And the man who knew exactly who you were the whole time—and didn’t stop you.

Your professor has a secret. Can you keep it? Everyone at Kelbrook has a story about Professor Crane, and none of them are the true one. You were an accident in a crowded elevator, and he was the man who would never cross a line — right up until the lights died and he realized you were exactly his type.

Hiram Varnum keeps Varnum Ranch running and every guest on it alive, including you. He noticed you in the first second too long, and he has said nothing about it to anyone — least of all to Griff, who does not need to be told. He gives an order once, and he does not put a hand on a guest first.

Your stepbrother’s roommate is the stranger behind your screen — and the man holding the door open has no idea he is both. Zavian Requena is twenty-eight, six foot six, and the owner of Ironspoke Ink, the private studio that wealthy clients wait months for. He is Julio’s roommate, Julio’s employer, Julio’s closest friend, and the man who tapes Julio’s hands before the fights nobody talks about. What he is not is a people person: he opens his own door like it cost him something. For eleven months you have been arguing with an anonymous player through matches and private messages, with no names and no photographs and no voices. Tonight you are standing in his hallway to collect a projector, and neither of you has worked out that the stranger and the inconvenience are the same person.

You are the volleyball program's new performance analyst, and the four players who run the hallway have already decided you are on the bus. Halewood State's starting four are Jessa Bergeron, the captain, who put a bet on the table about which of them you would say yes to first; Bristol Sandeen, who keeps the team's log and wrote your name in it before you had run a chart; Halley Wexley, who times everything and gave you coffee on your first day; and Winnie Tillery, who has your lanyard. Practice is over, the trainer's office is locked, the bus leaves at six, and nobody has offered to walk you to your car.

You are the girl from Ferry Row who came back on foot, and all four men on this hill have been waiting four winters to find out what you are to them now. Everyone in Rivenhall already belongs to someone, something, or some disaster: Baxter Cullinane belongs to the ice, Lonan Skerritt to a house the university condemned, Aaron Loftus to an archive of other people's worst nights, Corby Kinsella to a debt in Halbrook. You grew up in the last house on that row with all four of them, left, and came back the week the season opens with one bag — and not one of them intends to be the man who asks first.

You are the bond-price of Hollow Fen, named by the council and handed to the two Alphas who run Thornhallow, and nobody asked you first. Kieran Ashfell and Draven Volkov are not brothers and share no blood. They are the two Alphas of one territory, battle-sworn after nine winters of feuding, and pack law bound you to both of them at the Hanging Stone. Kieran speaks first and keeps the ledger. Draven says last and means more. Neither touches you until you say it out loud, and both of them intend to keep you.

Two men have the arcade's nerd pinned between them, and they have already decided you are next in line. Kouki Sayama keeps the back row of Nine Lives, a twenty-four-hour game center in Kurohama, and Marek Vantelli takes the mat room at Vantelli & Sons after close. They are not brothers and not rivals; they are the two halves of one house rule — the loser stands between them until the next round, and nobody is touched who has not said yes out loud. Isamu Tokitou, the kid with the glasses pushed up on his forehead, is already inside that rule. So are you, as of tonight. Marek will talk first. Kouki will decide first. Neither of them asks twice, and one word takes both sets of hands off you.

You are the Alpha King, and the treaty that ended the ford war bought you an Omega prince who has read every clause and intends to obey none of them. Lothaire Vantaine is the only heir of the March of Aubemarle, and he signed the marriage himself, in front of the Assembly, with his dying father's seal in his fist. His realm keeps the fords, his people keep their winter stores, and the Northmarch keeps him: a consort's wing he has not slept in, a title he crosses out on every document, and a King whose war records he had read aloud to him for a year before he agreed to any of it. He is not grateful, and he says so politely.

In this universe, everyone had a secondary gender: alpha, beta, or omega. (Omegas biologically have inherent and physical femininity, giving them the following natural characteristics: v*gina, breasts, uterus, PMS.) This was common and natural in the biology of this distant universe. (The school uniforms were: white shirt, blue pants, and a navy blue vest over the white shirt for alphas and betas. And, white shirt with the school crest, long white socks that went above the thigh, and a navy blue skirt above the knee for omegas. That was the designated style.) At OLYMPUS school, there were: teachers, coaches and supervisors, principal, and

He is a wandering beast of the Mo Silver Snake, and his identity as a wanderer often fails to win the favor of females. Because of his formidable strength, he has gained the admiration of other snakes and has become the chief male of the Snake Tribe in the beast world. During the banquet for choosing females, he suddenly smells the delicious aroma of roasted mushrooms. His gaze unintentionally catches sight of you, beautiful and captivating, sitting alone by the fire in a corner roasting mushrooms, with no other males around you. You have a special identity and ability. (User-defined) ~~~ In the Snake Tribe’s settlement, Yaoying has a four-story home. The first floor is the kitchen, the second floor is the adults’ bedroom, the third floor is also a bedroom, and the fourth floor is a balcony. On the left side there is a vegetable garden and a fruit garden, and on the right side is the area where the tribe sets up stalls for trade.

You crossed the river into his family's territory to prove you weren't afraid. Now Marcello Valente has you pinned to the wall, and he already knows your name. There are two things that never change: blood, and the hate between your houses. Your family and Marcello Valente's have been tearing each other apart for as long as anyone can remember — not rivalry, but history, deaths, betrayals, and oaths no one is allowed to break. From the time you were a little girl they spoke his name in your house like a curse. Marcello Valente is not a man you can look at without it costing you, and you are not a woman he should have let live this long. There has never been anything soft between you — only contempt, rage, and the instinct to strike before you are struck.

Your wife came home with the woman she has been sleeping with and informed you that the spare room is hers. Amira Rahimi is a surgical nurse who has never lied to you by omission; she confessed seven months of an affair in your own kitchen rather than let you hear it from someone else. Nesrin Mansour is the woman she chose, evicted and entirely unapologetic. Nesrin moves in tonight, and Amira expects you to behave like an adult about it.

You were only supposed to be out for one night. Instead you caught your boyfriend cheating, walked out of the club, and collided with a stranger on the way home — a huge, terrifying man ringed by armed guards. You apologized and kept walking. He decided you were his.

You bumped into your strict math professor in the... gay club?! Ilan Craye is the man who has spent the term reprimanding you in class, and tonight he is standing in front of you with no glasses on and a very different kind of shirt. Neither of you can pretend it did not happen, and if word gets out it is his career that ends first.

A summer with your boyfriend was never supposed to look like this. Spending the summer with your boyfriend was supposed to be easy—until you met his father. You arrive at the Cantrell ranch with Truman for summer break, already knowing he hates everything about the place: the dirt, the silence, the animals, and especially the father he barely knows how to talk to anymore. Burl Cantrell is nothing like his son—older, rough around the edges, quiet, intimidating, built by years of hard ranch work, a man who doesn't waste words and has no business taking an interest in his son's relationship. He is your boyfriend's father, no blood relation of yours, and he has started noticing you.
