“I guess I’m just afraid of being let down.”
Coleen Talton just can’t seem to break out of her shell. It’s her second year in college, and she’s still shy, still quiet, and still unable to bring herself to finally explore her sexuality—or anything else. That all changes when she rescues a wandering pit bull from a date with a truck’s front bumper, and Coleen is drawn into the unusual life of the pup’s dark and charismatic owner.
“I’ve got no time to get involved that way.”
Madison Moon’s eyes are set on one goal: to make it in the mainstream as an electronic dance music producer. With her talent, she just needs that last final push—but it’s hard to balance her passion with the pressure her strict traditional parents put on her to finish school and find an acceptable job. She can’t afford any distractions, especially not one as big as falling in love, but as she shares her music and her passion with the eager and surprisingly talented Coleen, Madison finds herself slipping.
“You need to stop ignoring your feelings.”
As Coleen ventures deeper into Madison’s vibrant musical world, her feelings for her talented new friend grow as intense as the beat just before the drop—but she just can’t believe Madison could be lesbian. Can Coleen finally find the courage to go after her desires, and can she show the stubborn Madison that love is exactly what she needs to finally reach her full potential? Views: 353

Knox and Harper's story continues as the Las Vegas lair - and its two infamous Co-Primes - face their most terrifying enemy yet . . .
Together, Harper and Knox have overcome just about every evil thing you can think of - from Horsemen of the Apocalypse to dark magic practitioners to Lucifer's insistent belief that he's hilarious. They're looking forward to some well-earned downtime - until Harper is attacked by mercenaries in the middle of her tattoo shop. Worse still, the attackers are trying to take her wings - the ones no one is meant to know she even has.
It's a near miss and once a furious Knox has managed to pull his demon back into line there's only one thing clear - someone knows Harper's secrets and is systematically setting out to destroy her. It seems likely that someone is the third Horseman - but how do they know so much about Harper? It seems the impossible might be true - they have an enemy hiding at the very heart of the lair.
To survive Harper will need to embrace power that's darker than she's ever experienced and even Knox can't protect her from everything - though God knows nothing's going to stop him trying. The stakes have never been higher, for if Harper's taken by this new threat, Knox won't be able to stop his demon from taking a vicious pleasure in tearing the world apart . . . Views: 352
