Most people wouldn't consider East Tennessee University the big city. But when you come from a small town like Snow Tip Falls, it’s more than you can handle. And when you've lived your life with secrets and the football universe shines that big ol' light on you, it's enough to push you over the edge. At least, it did me. It's a good thing Kendall was there to catch me. He doesn't remember the day we met, but I do. It was the moment I confirmed what I always thought: I like guys.

With NFL scouts watching my every move, the last thing I should be thinking about is Quinton Toro, my awkwardly sexy, genius tutor who makes me think about breaking my headboard. I might fantasize about everything about him at night, but I’ve worked too hard for too long to slip up now. But if it came down to having him or a career in the NFL, which would I choose? The answer should be obvious, right? Then why can’t I get the lustful way he looks at me out of my mind? I might be in trouble.

I don’t know what it is about Cage Rucker that makes my wolf howl. Yeah, he has a body that’s been chiseled from marble, and a smile that melts my heart, but it’s more than that. There’s something about the way he smells. My wolf knows. Does that mean that this boy is going to fall all over himself to find out? No way. Cage has a girlfriend. I don’t fall for straight boy… anymore. I wouldn’t even have talked to him again if he hadn’t offered me an exchange I couldn’t refuse.

Quin's heart aches being alone. But when your wolf has blood on its claws, you're not given a choice. At least, that's what she was thinking when she escaped to a small-town university in backwoods Tennessee. She might never have shifted again if it wasn't for a fated encounter with a dangerously sexy human who wakes her wolf.

I know it shouldn’t matter what people say about me. But when my parents told me that I would never find love because I liked guys, I was willing to do anything to prove them wrong. So, when the most romantic guy ever asked me to marry him, I had to show him to them immediately. Was I moving too fast? Because as soon as I scored him an invitation to one of our obnoxious family get-togethers, he called things off. Now, I need a fiancé to replace the one I thought I had or my parents will think they were right about me all along.

Honor is secondary to survival. Reeling from their losses at Callinicum, the Roman army has repulsed the Persians from Mesopotamia, but at horrendous cost. Belisarius’ improbable triumph at Dara is cast aside by a vengeful legate, condemning Constantinople’s vaunted general to ignominious imprisonment. With his last order, Belisarius pleads with Varus to lead the army to safety and to bring peace to a shattered land.

When I pulled into Snow Tip Falls, there was nothing about it that made me want to stay. It’s a beautiful small town, but if you stop running, your problems have a way of catching up with you. However, when tragedy strikes, it’s hard not to help. And when the person needing help is a chiseled football player with brooding eyes, dimples, and an endless desire to protect me, I’m reminded of the other purpose of my trip, to have a one night stand that finally rids me of my gay v-card.

One prophecy. One jaguar. The fate of a forgotten world. Guided by the memory of Eden and the prayer of the last jaguar, Oracle encounters an unlikely band of animal companions—including a clever raccoon, a steadfast horse, and a wise old toad—as they guide a lost boy named Miracle through a landscape both beautiful and fraught with danger. Can Oracle not only fulfill the prophecy but help the animals reclaim ancient truths before they are lost forever? He must find the legendary Lonely Tree and reawaken the animal kingdom’s forgotten heritage before it’s too late.

The kingdom of Mercia has been at war with the Shadow King and his dark army for ten years. To escape the seer’s vision of her capture, Mercia’s heir to the throne, Princess Norah Andell, is secreted away by her father to keep her safe. But when he dies in battle, so too dies the knowledge of where she’s hidden. She’s lost to the world—until three years later, when she’s found with no memory of who she is or the kingdom that now rests on her shoulders.

A femme fatale who goes by the name "The Diplomat's Daughter" is assigned to take down the world's most high-profile Sicario, a task she will execute using "Devil's Breath," a rare flower that removes all free will.

Teasing a wolf usually gets you bit. That’s why I never made a move on my best friend. But when he saves me from the worst fate of all, facing my family without the fiancé I told them I had, he becomes hard to resist.

A girl asks her best friend to pretend to be her fiancé and falls for him hard. That wasn’t Louise’s plan. Her plan was to prove that everything her parents ever said about her was wrong. And since that included that no one would ever love her, when the hottest guy ever asked her to marry him after two dates, she said yes. Lou’s plan might have worked if the hot guy didn’t ghost her after she told her parents to expect him at their next family get-together. So, what choice did she have but to instead ask her way too sexy best friend to pretend to be her fiancé?

My whole life, my mother told me I would never find love. So when my university’s hot, rich, starting quarterback asked me to marry him, this girl said yes. We had only been dating for two weeks. By the third week, he had shattered my heart. Maybe I shouldn’t have made a big deal about bringing him to the next family get-together. Luckily, there was one person who could always fix things when a guy left me in pieces: my best friend, Titus. He was my rock. That’s why I asked him to come home with me to pretend to be my fiancé.

Suffering invasions, riots, and hunger, the decaying Roman Empire staggers against its most ancient enemy—Persia. Undefeated in over a century, the Shahanshah’s vast armies cross the Tigris, hungry to reclaim lands that once had been the jewel of their heritage. Driving Persia’s invasion are the vaunted Immortals, an elite band of Persian warriors unmatched in prowess. Set against the invading forces are the undermanned and ill-equipped forces of Flavius Belisarius.

On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and three SEAL snipers watched vigilantly for enemy activity from their rooftop post in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. When a grenade thrown from insurgents bounced off Michael's chest, he could have escaped. Instead, he threw himself onto the live grenade, shielding his fellow soldiers from the immediate explosion. Michael died thirty minutes later, having made the ultimate sacrifice. As George Monsoor (Michael's father) and Rose Rea show us in Defend Us in Battle, Michael had prepared for this selfless act all his life.

Kendal Seers might be a lot of things—weird, introverted, boyish-looking—but she’s not stupid. She doesn’t have to learn the same lesson twice. But, when her professor selects her as a counselor in an exclusive program mentoring troubled students, and is assigned the same set of broad shoulders and marble cheekbones, this time she can’t storm off. Why was Nero Roman, star running back, in a program for troubled students? Could it have to do with his small-town roots? Can Kendall lower her guard long enough to find out?

There’s something about Kendall Seers that my wolf would kill for, which is weird because the girl doesn’t have a scent. What is she, a shifter? A fae? My instincts have been off since I left my backwoods town to play college football. Going pro could be my way out. Out of poverty. Out of my pack. And out from under the past that haunts me. My wolf isn’t making it easy, though. The only thing that calms him is Kendall.

When Kendall wakes up from a night of drinking with a note pinned to her shirt, the last thing she guesses is that it was put there by a gorgeous guy who desperately wanted to see her again. Why would she? She was nerdy, more than a little awkward, and had never even kissed a guy. And it wasn’t like she had come to university to date. She had big plans. She was going to help people who were going through difficult times and she was going to be the best in the world at it.

Carla Bucchio never cared about things like boyfriends and SATs. If she did, maybe life at 20 would be more exciting than developing photos on Long Island. When she chooses the guitar over a social life, it only makes sense because no one talks to her anyway. Music may be Pete Albrecht's life but what good is his talent if he has no one to share it with? When he's not getting bitched about coffee at work, he's getting nagged about college by his girlfriend. What would they say if they really knew about him?
