Magic & Marvels

Maddox Blackthorne: I was determined to fulfill my best friend's dying wish: see the lost Moriarty paintings in person. With two Moriartys in hand, I tracked down the final painting-and walked straight into a trap. Caleb Forrester, a Marvel detective working a case, was also caught. He was broody, quiet, and the exact distraction I couldn't afford. Caleb's arrival unveiled a centuries-old mystery promising to destroy the world. Cults, stolen paintings, secrets, and a thirst for him I can't deny . . . the mission might be the least dangerous part. Caleb Forrester: Whispers of the apocalypse weren't my thing. Neither was working a job that put me in the path of a dangerous cult. But then Maddox, the handsome dragon shifter, flew into my life. Despite our icy start, an undeniable connection sparked, pushing us together in a hunt for the missing paintings. The Crimson Ring clearly wanted them just as bad. I'm suddenly faced with a choice: master the power I despise using or watch the cult bring about the end of the world. The stakes are terrifying, yet with every brush of his skin against mine, I start to crave Maddox so deeply it threatens to eclipse my fear. Contains mature themes.

Xavier Blackthorne: As a bodyguard, I've protected all kinds of people, but I never expected my next client to be the Vice President's son. Blake King is all awkward smiles and high walls, but from the moment I meet him, I'm hooked. I've always kept emotions out of the job, but Blake makes that impossible. When a rogue pack of shifters attacks, it's clear they want something from him. Now, with danger closing in and no time to waste, I'll have to risk everything to uncover the truth. Because failure isn't an option, and neither is letting Blake slip through my fingers. Blake King: Being the Vice President's son has perks-like getting assigned a sexy golden dragon shifter as my bodyguard. I thought this summer would be simple: finish my classes, get a tan, and head home. Falling for Xavier was not part of the plan. Neither was becoming the target of a deadly secret organization. Now, we're in the crosshairs, and we don't even know why. Trust is hard to come by, but the chemistry between us is impossible to ignore. And as danger closes in, I can't help but wonder if I'll survive long enough to figure out what's happening-or if I'll lose myself to Xavier first. Contains mature themes.

Damien Blackthorne Dragons were dying. All over the world, a curse was taking us out one by one, and nobody knew how to stop it. I watched my mother burn, I watched my little brother fall sick. That's when Robby practically falls into my lap, with his big brown eyes and charming smile and his penchant for being hunted by vampires. After saving him twice from certain death, we soon come to realize that there's a reason he's being hunted. And that reason may be the answer to all our problems, and the start to a whole new set of them. Robby Diaz I bounced off problems and tended to avoid any and all issues with a smile and a wave. So imagine my surprise when I'm heading to a magic shop in Malibu and I'm suddenly attacked by vampires and then saved by one of the most handsome men I'd ever seen. I thought I could float away from whatever mess I stumbled into, but this problem stuck-following me all the way home. The vampires were after me, but they didn't want me dead . . . they wanted me alive. Why? And what did I have to do with this dragon-killing curse? And why was I falling for the fiery hot dragon who insists on saving me over and over again? Contains mature themes.
