Hidden in the human world, I was meant to live quietly, unaware of the power bound beneath my skin. But magic doesn’t stay buried forever. Neither do secrets. When the bindings on my power begin to crack, the truth is finally set free—and so are the men fate tied me to.
The King of fire who would rather kill me than kiss me.
The Prince of starlight, my childhood friend, whose tie to me could cost him everything.
The King of ice, whose cruelty is only matched by his coldness.
And the King of earth and blood, whose feral nature and death toll is feared by every being in all four kingdoms.
These are the men destined to love me…if we can only stop trying to kill one another first.
But when the truth about me is uncovered, they say my power could fracture our world. That demons are hunting me. That war is coming—whether I’m ready or not.
What they don’t say is how impossible it will be to resist.
Because the bond doesn’t ask.
It claims.
And when my magic finally awakens, it won’t just bind me to my destiny—it will decide the fate of the very realm.
Kate Summers’ teenage son, Jon, has been having nightmares. Someone is chasing him, the footsteps drawing relentlessly nearer. Jon can’t see the man’s face. He only senses that danger is coming—and there’s no way to stop it.
“Never tell anyone he’s not your boy,” was the warning. And Kate hasn’t. Not since the day fifteen years ago when she was offered what she most wanted—a healthy newborn baby. He was hers to keep, provided she moved far away, for good. She’s kept her word, raising Jon in a small Oregon town, lying to him for both their sakes. Despite his gift—or curse—of premonition, Jon hasn’t divined that he was adopted illegally. But now Kate’s long-ago choices are engulfing the life she’s tried to build.
Daegan O’Rourke has come to this remote corner of the Pacific Northwest to find answers only Kate can give. He understands why she’s wary of him, but there’s a far greater threat at hand. Someone is tracking Jon down—ready to kill him and anyone who gets in the way. And convincing Kate to trust him, even once she knows the whole shocking truth, is Daegan’s only hope of keeping them alive .
She needs a fake boyfriend. He’s been secretly in love with her for years.
After a sports injury ends her college scholarship, Leah Miller is determined to save her family’s failing business. It’s her last chance to prove to everyone, including herself, that she can still make something of her future—even if it means turning her life into a questionable publicity campaign with fake engagement photos featuring her brother’s best friend, Sam.
Sam Carter has always put everyone’s needs ahead of his own. But being the guy everyone counted on came with a cost; mostly, he’d forgotten how to say no. He’s spent years showing up for the Miller family and caring about Leah far more than he should.
When their photos catch the attention of the internet and a local news station, there’s just one problem: no one knew they were staged. Now the news wants to promote the story of small-town lovers saving their family business. It’s the publicity miracle Leah has been looking for, but first she has to convince Sam to be her fake fiancé.
Between festival chaos, runaway goats, and a town far too invested in their relationship, the line between fiction and reality blurs.
But as Leah fights to save the farm, she realizes she could lose something far more important. She could lose the man who’s been beside her all along, the man who has started to feel like home. Now she’ll have to decide how far she’s willing to go to save the future she thought she wanted.
Surgical and trauma nurse Harlow Frye loves the small town of Knightly, where breathtaking views of the Sierra and a tight circle of female friends provides a refuge from her professional life. But lately, it’s Harlow’s personal life that’s causing all the chaos.
First, a series of anonymous threatening letters are left in her mailbox. Then, Harlow is dealt a blow when her friend Lawyer dies after reacting to some sort of toxin. And to top it off, Harlow finds her secret obsession, CIA operative Hawkin Wilder, bleeding out on a mountain trail.
As Harlow turns her home into a makeshift hospital, her infuriating, attractive patient insists on distracting her. But even in the face of their increasing connection, there’s no way Harlow can ignore the escalating storm, when someone else close to her is struck down by the mysterious toxin.
With little more than intuition to go on, Harlow turns to the five friends who have proved themselves to be a better family than her own flesh and blood. As the women attempt to unravel the killings, they will need to rely on their instincts and their connection to each other—or else they’ll lose everything they’ve come to hold dear.
