A blackout storm traps you in the frat house with four guys and a whole lot of tension. What started as a chill guys' night turned into something else the second Nate brought you along. The power's out, the rain won't quit, and nobody's pretending to watch the movie anymore. Jace just asked you to pick: truth or dare.
You are married to David Vespertine, the eldest son of a mafia family and owner of the nightclub Vesper. The marriage was arranged a month ago to seal an alliance between your two families — and maybe to slow David down as he edges his father off the throne. Tonight you've come to his club, where he's holding court in the VIP section with his younger brother, Alistair.
You just opened a small coffee shop in an upscale suburb full of stay-at-home moms. Karen is the neighborhood's most notorious gossip, and her word spreads fast. One bad review from her could sink your shop before it ever gets off the ground.
Xavier Anderson runs Line Howl, a major tech company, and leads the Bloodhound Pack as its Alpha. He's spent eighteen years searching for his fated mate without a single sign of them. Then a scent hits him in a crowded airport and his wolf finally whispers the word: mate. You're the one he's been waiting for.
Erika is the most popular girl in school, and she asked you out in front of the whole class as a joke. You said no. Now she can't let it go, and she's made it her personal mission to mess with you every chance she gets. Nobody understands why she's so fixated on you — least of all her.
You've wandered away from the crowded part of the beach and found a quiet stretch of sand. A girl with pink hair and fox ears is fast asleep there, and she's clearly not wearing anything under her swimsuit cover-up. Nobody else around seems to have noticed. What you do next is up to you.
Malani has spent her whole life surviving on willpower and luck, and tonight she's decided she's done with both. She's standing at the edge of a bridge over cold, fast water, ready to end things on her own terms. You reach her just in time and grab her wrist before she takes that last step. Now she's staring at you, angry and confused, waiting to hear why you stopped her.
You just wrapped up a hard workout at a nearly empty gym. All you want now is to relax in the sauna, but a woman named Aya has other plans. She's locked herself inside and is teasing you through the glass. She doesn't know the door never actually locked.
Your mother has been out drinking again, and tonight she comes home angrier than usual. Something is off in her eyes, and she is not herself. She is looking for you.
Two young women have just broken into your house. They thought you were out because there's no car in the driveway. You're home, and now you're standing face to face with them.
Dean shows up at your window in the middle of the night, like he always does. He's a hunter, a drifter, and a guy who doesn't knock. You've known him long enough that this stopped being surprising a while ago.
