This #1 New York Times bestseller is a highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance. Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design.   N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

A Court of Silver Flames

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

From Blood and Ash

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him.

The Alpha's Contract

The Alpha's Contract by LINCOLN CULLEN

I was nothing more than damaged goods being traded to pay a debt. Marcus destroyed everything good inside me. Six years of torture. Six years of having my wolf suppressed. Six years of believing I was worthless. Then Alpha Tyler Blackwood signed the contract that made me his. I thought I was jumping from one cage into another. Tyler was supposed to be cold, ruthless, unfeeling. Everyone called him the Ice Alpha for a reason. But when he looks at me, I don't see a monster. I see a man who's been waiting his whole life for someone to love. When he touches me, my broken wolf stirs for the first time in years. When he promises to protect me, I almost believe him. Almost. Because men like Tyler don't really want women like me. And when he discovers I can't shift, can't be the Luna his pack needs, he'll send me back to the hell I came from. Won't he? But Tyler has other plans... He says I'm not broken. He says I'm perfect exactly as I am. He says he'll burn the world down before he lets anyone hurt me again. Maybe it's time I stopped running from the woman I could become. Maybe it's time I learned what happens when a caged wolf finally remembers how to bite back. Some contracts are made to be broken. Others are made to bind two souls together forever.

The Alpha’s Rejected Contract Mate

The Alpha’s Rejected Contract Mate by Tessa Lake

Some wolves are born broken. I was shattered by the ones who should have protected me. My name is Sophie, and I've been dead for five years. Not literally. Though some days, that would've been easier. The night fire devoured my parents, it killed my future too. Everyone blamed me. My own brother swore I set the flames. As punishment, he ripped my wolf away—locked her so deep inside me, I forgot what it felt like to be whole. For five years, I've been a slave in my own pack. Beaten. Starved. Invisible. I learned to keep my head down. Learned that hope was just another word for pain. Until he walked through the door. Alpha Alex of Shadow Ridge doesn't do mercy. He's all brutal power wrapped in tanned skin and golden eyes that see too much. A predator in every sense of the word. He came to my pack for a treaty, nothing more. But the second he caught my scent, something shifted. Something dangerous. When my brother offers me as part of the deal—a throwaway wolf nobody wants—Alex accepts. Not because he needs me. But because he smells the lies rotting around me like a corpse. I thought being sold to a strange Alpha would be my end. Turns out, it was my beginning. Alex doesn't believe I killed my parents. He also doesn't believe in letting mysteries go unsolved. The more he digs into my past, the more we both realize the truth is deadlier than either of us imagined. Someone murdered my parents and framed me for it. Someone bound my wolf to keep me weak. Someone wants me dead before I remember what I saw that night. And that someone is willing to burn down every pack between here and hell to keep their secret buried. But they didn't count on one thing: I'm not the broken girl they left behind anymore. My wolf is waking up. My power is rising. And I have an Alpha who'll go to war for me. This time, I won't be the one who burns. Enemies to lovers. Fated mates. Second chance at life. Betrayal, prophecy, and a love worth fighting—and dying—for. Contains mature themes, steamy scenes, a possessive Alpha who doesn't share, and a heroine who refuses to stay broken. Trigger warnings: Past abuse, violence, attempted murder, and references to trauma. HEA guaranteed.

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty A Novel by A. N. Roquelaure & Anne Rice

Before E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey and Sylvia Day's Bared to You , there was Anne Rice’s New York Times best seller The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. In the traditional folktale of "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. In the first book of the trilogy, Anne Rice (author of  Beauty's Kingdom ), writing as A.N. Roquelaure, retells the Beauty story and probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience. Readers of Fifty Shades of Grey will indulge in Rice’s deft storytelling and imaginative eroticism, a sure-to-be classic for years to come. Praise for The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty : "Articulate, baroque, and fashionably pornographic." — Playboy "Something very special . . . at once so light and yet so haunting." — The Advocate

The Road to Hell by Kinsley Adams

Lucifer's rebellious daughter, driven by revenge. A vampire bound by regret. In the depths of Hell, their forbidden love could reignite—or consume them both. Being Lucifer's daughter comes with baggage. And by baggage, I mean a destiny I never asked for, a prophecy I can't escape, and a to-do list straight from Hell. Literally. Our mission? Destroy the fallen angels still loyal to my father and sever his ability to create more hellspawn. Without them, his army is finite—and beatable. But that's not all. To stand a chance against Lucifer, we'll need to find new allies and rebuild the rebellion he crushed the last time I dared to defy him. Easy, right? And then there's Rathiel. The vampire who stole my memories, exiled me to Earth, and shattered every ounce of trust I had in him. I should hate him—I want to hate him—but the way he looks at me, the way he sets my blood on fire with a single touch, makes it impossible. When he's near, I can barely think. When he's gone, I can hardly breathe. He's a constant reminder of everything I've lost—and everything I still want. The path forward is clear: take down the fallen, reclaim my memories, and rally an army before Lucifer crushes us for good. But the hardest battle? Facing the feelings I can't control for the one who hurt me the most. Because in Hell, some battles are fought with fire—and others with the heart.

Welcome to this boxed set, full of stories featuring lots of insta-love, fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, rejected mates, and so much more. Each book is a play on rock songs, with: Owl Be Bear For You Librarian Mara Scioto lives a nice, neat, orderly existence—except when she’s being attacked by uncontrolled male shifters who need to mate.  Pesky little detail, right? Raised by a grandmother who hates all shifters, she has one wish: to make it past the age of twenty-five without experiencing The Morph that tells you you’re one of them. And then the letter from Camp Shifter arrives with her name on it... Orthopedic surgeon in training Jack Karsten is waiting to see if he’ll follow in his shifter brother’s footsteps. Being a shifter won’t be so bad, if that’s his destiny, but when he meets Mara, he realizes that fate and love don’t always align. But love always wins. It can be a bear of an ordeal sorting it all out, but if anyone can help, it’s the staff at Camp Shifter.

The former sportscaster and wolf shifter ran away from her testosterone-filled career for the quiet peace of Camp Shifter.

And here he is, smirking at her, front and center. In his birthday suit. DarkNight of the Moon He lurks in shadows and mystery at Camp Shifter, coming out only during DarkNight, the wild, bacchanalian free-for-all where anything goes. Anything. No one has seen him in the daylight, no one knows where he lives, no one knows his name–and the shifter nicknamed DarkLover by women, DarkDude by men, will do anything to keep it that way. Andie Cumbington has been waiting her whole life for The Letter. One of the few shifters who is ecstatic about her newfound status, the chestnut-haired ballerina bear shifter arrives for her month at Camp Shifter with unbridled excitement. On her first DarkNight, she finds wild passion and–to her surprise–so much more, with a stranger who touches her heart as much as he lights up her body. And then he’s gone, back into the shadows, hidden. Exactly where he wants to be. Craving his touch with an insatiable desire, Andie can’t let go. She always wanted the roll in the hay, but she never imagined the passion would be so intense.  Fate drives her to find love. Then a simple errand turns into mortal danger for Andie, and an impossible choice as DarkLover must overcome his biggest fear in order to save the woman he loves. But will it be too late? Three full-length books that you can sink into for an escape from real life, but with emotions that will leave you with a book hangover.

Lady Lyra of Atlan is on a secret mission for the Coalition Fleet’s covert Intelligence Core. She lost everything long before she volunteered to be a spy. And now, through a wicked twist of fate, she’s even lost control of herself.

It’s inconceivable for a female Atlan to have a beast, to suffer from mating fever. But one look at the human detective and the unthinkable becomes reality as something primitive awakens within her. She has a mystery to solve, evil smugglers to eliminate, and brothers to avenge, but destiny has other plans. Because the beast that’s not supposed to exist? She wants. She needs.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. "Let me worship you," he said. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
