AITA for hooking up with my best friend's little sister when we were locked in a bank vault together? I'm a firefighter by trade—though my side hustle is being a phoenix. As you can imagine, not every woman is on board with hooking up with a shapeshifter. Luckily, I have my brothers and my best friend for company. Unfortunately, the aforementioned best friend has tasked me with keeping an eye on his little sister Misty, the girl who used to have a childhood crush on me. A lot has changed since then. Now, Misty is a bank teller with a sassy mouth and curves that don't quit. I could have kept my hands to myself, but then a bank hold-up goes wrong, and Misty and I end up locked in the vault together. Alone. For hours. I mean, I'm a phoenix. I can't ignore heat...especially the smoldering looks Misty throws me. So, one thing leads to another, and let's just say, the situation between Misty and me goes up in flames...in the best kind of way. But now her brother has questions and I've got to figure out how much to tell him. AITA for wanting to risk our friendship because I can't stop thinking about his little sister, and I don't want to keep Misty and me a secret any longer?

In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer -- and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante's past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny....

Every year, each village is required to send a young woman to the Empire's capital--her fate to be burned alive for the entertainment of the masses. For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her secret to staying alive lies with the magic only she possesses. But this year is different. Azarion, the Empire's most famous gladiator, has somehow seen through her illusion--and is set on blackmailing Gilene into using her abilities to help him escape his life of slavery. Unknown to Gilene, he also wants to reclaim the birthright of his clan. To protect her family and village, she will abandon everything to return to the Empire--and burn once more.
