No longer the leader of the Olympians, Konstantin has now gone
into hiding. Konstantin is vulnerable, and Anderson believes now is the perfect

attacks leads her to believe that Konstantin is gunning for her and Anderson
instead of remaining safely in hiding.

new leader of the Olympians—who threatens retribution should his father be
killed. The complications mount up as Nikki begins to suspect that Konstantin
might not be behind the attacks after all. The only person who hates Konstantin

Olympians. And Nikki knows Emma would be more than happy if Anderson and his
people embroil themselves in an all-out war against the Olympians—a war they
cannot hope to win.
As Nikki tries to figure out who the true enemy is, she deals
with her tumultuous relationship with Jamaal, who struggles to control his
death magic. But being loved by a descendant of a death goddess is the least of
Nikki’s worries…

Maddie's Choice by Joyce Zeller
Romance writer Maddie Taylor's career is in trouble. Convinced
that true love does not exist outside of her imagination, she can't complete
her current manuscript. When a friend, Jonah Spartman, dies and wills her half
of his cattle ranch, she seizes the chance to leave New York City. There is one
catch: in order to inherit she must stay in Arkansas for three months.
The other half of the ranch belongs to Gideon Spartman, Jonah's
grandson, a black-ops veteran whose humanity was torn from him in Afghanistan.
Rugged and sexy, Gideon embodies the hero in Maddie's current manuscript. He is
far from happy to be sharing an inheritance that is rightfully his with a
"gold-digging bimbo" and resents having to care for his two orphaned
nephews. But Maddie senses the need behind Gideon's rough and unwelcoming
exterior. She must also contend with the two love-starved boys and an Angus
bull who craves chocolate.
The ranch is hardly the safe haven Maddie expected. It is
operating in the red, and the area is plagued with drug dealers and cattle
rustlers. Maddie can return to her barren New York existence or stay and fight
to save the ranch and win Gideon's love. The choice is hers

Othersphere is the third and final installment in Nina Berry's
acclaimed young adult Otherkin series, which blends romance, fantasy, and
action in a powerful story of friendship and self-acceptance.
The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect
life-that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior
keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers...and she's
just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark
country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a
guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the
tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her
mind.
Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really
feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich
girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she
might look.
But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives
in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to
discover just how far they'll go to save each other.
At nineteen, Ellie Martin is finally happy. Deliriously,
delightfully, delectably happy. Her junior year in college, while not without
some major issues, is turning out better than she ever dreamed. She's finally
found closure to a question that has bothered her for as long as she can
remember. She's even been able to put some serious distance between herself and
her twisted mother. Best of all, she's in love with the hot, handsome, and
mysterious Logan Walker.
If only she could share with Logan the one thing she must keep
secret. The one relationship that, if he finds out about it, will blow apart
everything that brings her happiness.
Even as Ellie and Logan learn to open up to each other, even as
they get closer than they've ever gotten to anyone else before, the reckless
secrets they're holding on to may just be the thread that unravels everything.

is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male
models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.
Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid,
and well-traveled. He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben
on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies.
Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.
Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world,
casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is
revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their
careers and hearts are threatened.
Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion
#1)
by Aimee Carter {ebook}
YOU CAN BE A VII. IF YOU GIVE UP
EVERYTHING.
For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either
spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and
forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most
powerful family in the country.
If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed
into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious
circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be
adored. And for the first time, she will matter.
There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that
Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes
in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must
decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a
twisted game she's only beginning to understand.
