Welcome to the small town of Cloud Bay where the weather is great, the music is fire, and love is complicated... She's never forgotten him but he's a for-one-night-only kind of guy Leah Santelli grew up knowing it was dumb to have a crush on her best friend's brother. Zach Harper inherited his rock-star dad's looks, his musical talent, and his habit of breaking hearts. He was always going to leave Cloud Bay far behind him. So she never let him know until she lost her mind on her eighteenth birthday and asked him for just one night. One of the best nights of her life. Except the part where he still left in the morning. But she picked up the pieces of her heart and did her best to forget it ever happened. Now Zach is back in Cloud Bay to record a solo album. Producing it is exactly what Leah needs to make her mark on the music world. If she can keep herself from falling for him all over again. Zach came home to Cloud Bay to mend fences with his sisters and make the album he needs to level up his career. He didn't expect to find Leah all grown up, more beautiful than ever, and determined to keep him at a distance. Until long hours in the studio rekindle their spark and suddenly they're making more than just great music. Zach starts to realise that Leah might be all he wants. But real life isn't as simple as a love song and it's going to take more than his rock'n'roll moves to convince Leah to trust him with her heart again...

Hunting traitors is easier than facing the man she never meant to love... In the wake of treachery and broken bonds, Chloe de Roche has fled Illvya and a marriage that was never supposed to be real, to hunt the rebel mages trying to topple the empire. Bringing them to justice is the only way to clear her name and salvage something of the life she's been fighting for. But leaving Lucien behind might be even harder than finding the truth about the treachery buried in the heart of the empire... Faced with Chloe's desertion, magic that undermines his ability to know the truth, and a threat to the emperor he is sworn to serve, Lucien de Roche is reeling. But even though his hopes that Chloe might grow to love him have been shattered, he can't turn his back on his wife. Bound by vows and honor, he has no choice but to follow her, even if she might break his heart... Defeating those who seek to tear their world apart will not only take all their powers but an admission that they are stronger together than apart. But are they willing to risk their lives-and their hearts-to save an empire?

They say magic has a price. In my experience they're right. Sure, I'm a witch and I've even defeated a demon or two. But that doesn't mean that I've got it all figured out. Or that trouble is done with me... Maggie Lachlan has become a Techwitch in all senses of the word. Once she was just a super geek, taming wild programs with ease, now magic has become part of her repertoire. She never wanted to inherit her mother's talents-for magic or trouble-but she has no choice but to come to grips with her powers and try to find her happy place. But the past doesn't want to rest easy, and demons aren't the only problem in town. Her lover, Damon Riley, is launching a new high stakes virtual reality gaming contest and there are those who'd love to see him fail. Supporting him means facing her fears and diving back in the virtual worlds that first led a demon to her doorstep. With gamers and witches converging on San Francisco for the launch, things are getting strange. And Maggie's past isn't done with her yet. So when darkness, power, and technology collide, magic might be the only thing that gets her through the night...
