The more she attempts to ignore him the more irresistible he becomes

Asta, Seer of Spirits of the thirteenth generation of the line of the goddess Solveig, is intelligent, lovely and amusing.

However, after she discovers the disturbing truth, she escapes to Midgard to search for her sisters. In the beautiful, but often treacherous location of Iceland she encounters a young man from her realm. She fully intends to keep him at a distance but finds it impossible.

Hagen the Explorer is everything Asta believes she is not. He’s ambitious and adventurous, purposeful and optimistic. To save her life he is forced to resort to methods of which she disapproves and possibly cannot forgive. Yet, Asta and Hagen are irresistibly drawn to one another.

Hagen sees her remarkable beauty and her true potential, but she consistently pushes him away. Will love and desire win over her strong will and stubbornness?

He thought he was in control until she snuck into his heart…

Carter Hill walked away from a perfectly fine life and relationship…all for a career she’s chased since she was fourteen. Years and a PhD later, she loves her job as a water rights consultant. At the same time, now that all her brothers are happily married, she’s lonely and wanting more. But the only man in her life is Logan – super serious, no sense of humor, and friend-zoned. Or is he? Perhaps a sexy, no-strings affair with a man more driven than she is could help her move on.

Logan Cartez doesn’t date, do relationships, or worry about commitment. He’s married to his job – making sure what destroyed his family ranch and their legacy doesn’t happen to others. When Carter propositions him, what began as a passionate and unforgettable night soon develops into more. Logan finds himself doing things he swore he never would, and the feisty, brilliant, blue-eyed rancher’s daughter has him thinking about so much more than work.

Ebon Brody and Sophie Caplan have been close friends – and closer rivals – for as long as they can remember. One night they become even more, and shake hands on a no-strings agreement. They’ve always been able to keep their hands off each other’s stories – surely, they can keep their hands on each other at the same time.

But when they both begin to circle the same scoop – a human trafficking scandal that could bring enormous accolades for either of their competing papers – they discover it’s harder to avoid those strings than they thought.

Sophie was secretly furious when Ebon didn’t attempt to poach her to his newspaper, the Phoenix, and she resolved to win at all costs. Now she has to choose between the man she’s always wanted and the career she loves more than anything. Ebon wants to prove himself to his older brothers and to the woman he’s always admired, even if it means snatching a story out from under her feet.

The bright, white space is filled to the brim with colorful art, yarn, jewelry, pet treats, antiques and even a few medieval weapons. Oh, and there are wine tastings. Everything is better with wine. Ainsley is surprised by how well things are going–right up until the moment her Great Dane finds a dead body. With her friend accused of the murder, it’s up to Ainsley to find the real killer.

As the suspect list grows longer, Ainsley has her work cut out for her. The task is made more difficult by the fact her brother, the sheriff, doesn’t seem to want her help. If she doesn’t wrap up the case soon, she might be the next wine, um, one to die.

Faith will never be anyone’s burden or responsibility again.

For Gage, Faith has always been the one. But he’ll have an uphill battle to convince her his heart is true.
