    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

    When his cousin Eugene announces he's entering the tri-state area's annual battle of the bands and is in desperate need of a frontman, Varian is quick to volunteer. As a broke college student avoiding his past like the plague, it's not like he's got anything better to do.

    But then, a certain blond moves back into town, quaking the earth with his presence as the bassist in a rival band. Because Hugo, stoking old flames and reopening emotional wounds, changes everything. With him around, Varian knows this contest isn't a fun game anymore.

    Against Hugo, it's war.

    Summary

    Castiel Novak—known to the world as Dmitri Krushnic, son of the Russian Prime Minister—has lived his life under glass. Cameras, guards, expectations—every moment watched. When threats rise against his father’s political reign, he becomes a target, and the solution is simple: hire protection.

    Enter Dean Winchester—quiet, composed, and far too observant. A man with military precision and secrets buried deep beneath his calm exterior. Because Dean isn’t there to protect Castiel. He’s there to destroy him.

    But somewhere between bulletproof cars and midnight escapes, between whispered confessions and the press of hands that should never touch, the lines blur.

    There’s only one problem—Castiel doesn’t speak English, Dean doesn’t speak Russian, and somehow they still manage to fall in love. Afterall, how do you kill the one person who makes you feel alive?

    Summary

    The year is 1996, and Dean’s stuck in Kankakee, Illinois while Dad’s on a long-haul hunt. It’s not too bad. He’s even got a friend, now—even if Cas is a weird, gawky loner kid who gets way too intense about his sci-fi novels and doesn’t know how to stop staring. Just business as usual.

    Until his dad comes back, and it isn’t.

    The year is 2011, and the shadows known as ‘angels’ and ‘demons’ are falling from cracks in the sky, raining death, destruction, and monsters where they pass. When the Joint Task Force asks for their help in stopping the end of the world—John Winchester, his sons, and a ragtag band of hunters—well, that’s just business as usual, too.

    Until Dean meets the cold blue eyes of their team liaison—Dr. Castiel Novak.

    Summary

    Castiel's senior year of swimming is going to be his best yet. He's got two State records on the line, one of which is his own. He has no patience for distractions, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

    If only someone had told that to Dean Winchester, the new boy with the beautiful smile and the unfortunate need to become friends with everyone, including Castiel. Castiel's immediate dislike of him isn't helped by the fact that Dean is good at the one stroke that Castiel is the best at: the butterfly.

    He's determined to hate Dean, especially when the other boy poses a serious threat to Castiel's record pursuit. If only Dean wasn't so damn adorable...

    All-Star quarterback Dean Winchester seemingly has everything anyone could ever want—plasma screen TV included—but ghosts from his past keep him from being truly happy.

    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.

    Summary

    “Castiel, would you be interested in tutoring?”

    Castiel tilted his head. Out of all the things Mrs. Harvelle could have asked him about, he hadn’t been expecting it to be tutoring. Castiel wasn’t exactly a “people person.”

    “You want me to tutor?”

    “You’re my top student.” she replied bluntly. “I think you would be an excellent tutor. This would also be a great way for you to get community service hours.”

    Well, community service hours were required, so it wasn’t like Castiel had much choice if he wanted to graduate on time.

    “Okay.”

    Mrs. Harvelle grinned. “I’ll let Dean know. He’s a bright student, but he struggles with math. I know that with your help, he’ll improve greatly.”

    Castiel felt his blood freeze in his veins. “Wait, Dean Winchester?”

    “Yes,” she said. “Do you know him?”

    Oh, Castiel knew Dean Winchester. Like Castiel, Dean was a senior. Unlike Castiel, Dean was delightful and funny and very popular. He was always smiling and being infuriatingly gorgeous. He had all the teachers charmed. Almost everybody loved him.

    Almost.

    Dean Winchester was a jock, and Castiel hated him.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester has everything—popularity, a basketball scholarship on the line, a girlfriend who fits the picture-perfect life his father wants for him. But when quiet, withdrawn Castiel Novak is assigned as the team manager to make up missing credits, Dean’s carefully curated world starts to crack.

    Drawn to Castiel in ways he doesn’t fully understand—and isn’t allowed to feel—Dean begins to question everything: his image, his relationships, and the kind of man his father expects him to be. As tension builds on and off the court, secrets come to light: Castiel’s bruises, Dean’s hidden heart, and a past that won’t stay buried.

    When Castiel’s abusive uncle returns and John Winchester starts pushing back harder, Dean is forced to choose between staying in bounds—or stepping off the court entirely to protect the boy he’s falling in love with.

    Because sometimes, love means breaking all the rules.

    Summary

    Atemporalia: A rare congenital condition in which a person possesses a birthmark that, in adulthood, develops into an image called a soulmark. This mark, found in the palm of the hand, is meant to “bond” an individual with a compatible mate (a “soulmate”) through a series of biochemical reactions. Persons with Atemporalia activate this process by pressing their soulmarks together. The name Atemporalia is given to this condition due to the arresting of age that occurs once the adult soulmark erupts. Persons with Atemporalia, once bonded, resume aging and can expect an average lifespan with no further impact of the condition on their lives. Prognosis for persons who do not bond is unknown.

    When the case of a killer who wouldn’t die required a consultant, Dean and Sam were directed to Castiel, who possessed a particular condition that made him perfect for the role—and for Dean.

    Castiel ran a humble curiosities shop in Sedona, his hunting days long behind him (though never far from his mind). When the Winchesters showed up, Castiel instantly recognized the green-eyed man before him: he was his soulmate, the one he’d waited decades for.

    So he said the only thing he could say:

    “Get out.”
