Aries: Riddle Me Wicked

On his first day on a dig in California, gunshots awaken Ian Tunbridge, an assistant curator of classical antiquities at the British Museum. The only way to save his life is to run for it, but luck is not on his side. At least, not until he meets Lucas Arpini, the brash American photographer who seems to have some sort of clue what's going on. Together, they're supposed to be the tools in finding an artifact nobody believes is real - nobody, that is, except Lucas and the man who has kidnapped both of them.

Ian doesn't know what to believe. His colleagues are dead, he's injured, and he has no choice but to put his faith in a gorgeous stranger. Their escape should lead them straight to the police, but when Lucas shows him pieces of the puzzle they were meant to solve, Ian is too intrigued to walk away. He wants to solve the riddle as badly as Lucas does.

Unfortunately, they're not the only ones...

Cancer: Penny Candles

In the year 2184, the U.S. is divided. Half the country has moved on with the rest of the world, while in middle America, the survivors of the terrorist biological attack that split the country struggle just to stay alive. Though a century has passed, few people brave going behind the borders meant to contain the danger. Even the privatized military is reluctant to do so.

But that doesn’t stop recently discharged Sullivan Eberle. Only one thing drives him anymore—the need to find Raphael Hamada. He doesn’t know why; he only knows he must. If that means a lifetime behind the borders, then so be it.

Rafe Hamada ran away from the real world when he was still a kid. The last thing he wants is to be found, especially by a soldier who can’t even tell him why it was so important to locate him in the first place. He’d like nothing more than for Sullivan to leave, but turning his back on a man alone and friendless is against everything Rafe stands for...

Capricorn: Forbidden Faces

Some call Caleb the Angel of Death, but he knows better. He doesn’t kill. He erases life. Centuries ago, the Higher Powers created him to walk the terrestrial plane, eradicating those from existence who have either earned punishment or asked for dissolution. No attachments, no commitments, no problems.

His latest assignment should have been as easy as the rest. But the second he gets invited into Leandro Warnell’s remote Alaskan cabin, Caleb knows something is different. It’s more than the overpowering physical attraction between them. It’s more than the inconsistencies that have plagued this assignment from the start.

It’s the mark Leandro wears over his heart, the symbol unique to Caleb’s body. Because the only way Leandro could have received the tattoo is if Caleb had given it to him. But the man who’s collected memories for the last thousand years has no recollection of ever meeting Leandro before...

Libra: Outlined in Ink

Six years earlier, Jarrett Kessel helped his best friend’s little brother, Eli, deal with his family’s rejection when he came out. Jarrett saw potential in the tempestuous teenager. And talent. Then, they both moved on with their lives.

Now, the FBI needs Jarrett’s help. Eli Locke is their only lead in solving a murder, but he’s nowhere to be found. Though the Feds are convinced Jarrett is the best way to locate Eli, he’s not so sure. Until they show him the webcomic Eli has created, with a superhero who bears a striking resemblance to Jarrett.

But when the truth about the murder investigation comes out, Eli wants to run, even though he had nothing to do with the crime. Now it’s up to Jarrett to keep Eli from ruining his life for good, before the killer finds them both and does it first...

Two Lives in Waltz Time

Maddy Cardinale loves her art restoration job at a prestigious New York museum. She wouldn’t even mind working the night shift if it wasn’t for her annoying colleague, Cash Vinci. Charismatic, confident to a fault, sexy as hell…Cash seems bound and determined to get under her skin.

Cash’s specialty is ancient weaponry—knives, swords, clubs—but when it comes to sharp, nothing comes close to Maddy’s icy wit. If only she’d learn to lighten up, she’d see that appearances are deceiving. Just thinking about touching that amazing skin of hers makes him break into a sweat.

An unusual painting’s arrival provides a welcome distraction—until a fleeting touch unleashes a magic that flings them out of their workshop and into the 1940s nightclub portrayed on the canvas. They’re dressed to kill, and so are the mobsters and molls who surround them. Worse, they learn all too quickly that the club sells more than drinks.

Trapped in a deadly dance, they race to unravel the spell that traps them in a world where the only safe place is Cash’s bed. On that fragile foundation, they forge a trust that just might grow into something lasting. If their dance isn’t cut short…
