    Summary

    In a world populated by Soulmates— people drawn together by wordless music connecting them to their destined other half— Varian is an anomaly. He is Songless, someone without a Soulmate of his own. He makes due with the cards dealt to him, used to being the castle oddity by now, but when an interesting blond takes up residence in the castle, he can't help but be drawn to him.

    Hugo, on the other hand, is horrified to find that not only is his Soulmate a palace brat, but that Varian doesn't hear him back— meaning Hugo is trapped in a one-sided bond. When presented with a horrible choice between completing the theft Donella had sent him to do, or taking a frightening step into vulnerability, Hugo finds himself at an impasse he just might not be able to charm his way out of.

    And then politics get involved.

    Summary

    The name is on the tip of Varian's tongue. The syllables press against the back of his teeth, itching to be let out but never taking shape. It's like dust falling softly on a Sunday morning; it's a thousand tons of iron slamming behind his ribs; it's a virus buried in his blood and sinew. He can't explain why he feels so empty without it, like a piece of his soul is missing. He can't help but think he's lost something -- or someone -- very, very important.

    Or, Varian wakes up in the body of a boy he's never met in a kingdom he's never visited. He learns to adapt to Hugo's strange lifestyle, clumsily navigating a sense of normalcy with no memory of what happened the day before.

    Until the day he can't.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    Anya Forger unmistakably—fell first, her heart loud and wide open. Ever since Eden Academy, she had been scribbling letters, dodging pride, and holding on to hope like it was a lifeline. She was brilliant and stubborn, who once poured everything into Eden’s golden boy—Damian Desmond—who crushed her love underfoot, both literally and with every callous word.

    Years later, now women in power and purpose, she and her cousin Becky Blackbell prepare to return home—to the very same city that still echoed his name.

    Anya might have walked away from him, but never from her feelings. And although Damian seemed indifferent then, fate has a funny way of revealing who actually fell harder.

    Summary

    When Sheriff Mary Winchester accused Fergus Crowley, the most powerful man in Neptune, California, of killing his daughter Meg, she lost the town’s goodwill and was run out of office. The fallout split the Winchester family in two, with only her older son Dean choosing to stick by her side.

    Now Dean and Mary run a private detective agency together, all while Dean tries to navigate the social minefield of his senior year in high school. Not to mention his thorny relationship with Castiel Novak, who was Meg’s boyfriend when she died and — once upon a time — Dean’s best friend.

    Thanks to an anonymous tipster, Dean gets his hands on an important clue in Meg’s murder. He decides to solve the case once and for all — whatever the consequences.
