Love can be a strange thing.

You can have it at one point, and be completely lonely at another.

We all have that one guy who we fall in love with: the one that we give our heart to.

But the thing about being swept off your feet is that sometimes, it ends with a thud.

In my case, we were quite close—until we drifted apart.

We could count on each other at all times—until that wasn’t the case anymore.

We were stupidly in love—until we got torn apart.

We had to move on—even though we couldn’t stop holding on.

This is our story.

All your reservations end at the door.
This is where all your darkest desires come true.
These three weeks will be the most unforgettable of your life. Anything goes. All your deepest fantasies are allowed.

Lexa Novak would relish nothing more than to let loose and at long last enjoy the complete experience.
So when she gets the opportunity, Lexa jumps at it head first.
However, what happens when your darkest desires become your realities?
There’s only one way of finding out.
This is Suite 269. You may enter!

Upon waking up, two women are shocked to realize that they are in a jail that’s thousands of miles away from home.

Recounting their adventure before an unsympathetic judge, the women present a witty and incredibly detailed tale of the road trip that got them into a lot of trouble.

While struggling with age, weight, and other devils of their own, the women don’t just find the open road and a life they lost while in their twenties, but they also find themselves.

From heartbreaks to car thefts and hazy recollections of experiences in New Mexico, this is one hilarious journey of things that people write about, but don’t really do.

She should have been named Chaos, since trouble continually followed her.
I wanted to make her mine.
That ship however sailed a long time ago.
I messed up badly.
But now I'm back, hoping to make amends for my missed opportunities.
How will I make Maddie Cross desire me once again?
 
I should have never given my heart to Luke Gunner.
It was dumb and foolish.
This was a doomed voyage, as he was my brother's closest friend.
I was foolishly in love with him.
I always do the kind of things that I shouldn’t be doing.
And now that Luke is back, I’m going to do it all over again.

I’m on the verge of committing a crime, and I’m actually thrilled about it.

However, there are more important things that I need to deal with first.

This is everything but easy.

Tony Fretolli, the head of the Acerbi family, looks over me.

His pistol is fully loaded in anticipation.

I don’t need to be reminded that when she enters, I’ll have to rescue her too.

If there is one thing that I’ve learnt, then it’s that falling in love, and being connected to the mob, is a terrible combination.

The world is no longer what it used to be. It’s all gone.

At this point, I’m only certain of two things.

One, those creatures that attacked us took my sister.

Two, I’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

Not even death will be enough to stop me.

New York City is a grim shadow of its former self.

Just a month ago, Earth was besieged by mysterious creatures hell-bent on destroying our home.

And when my twin sister and I attempted to assist, the impossible happened: she was taken from the street right before my very eyes.

But I’ll get her back, if it’s the last thing I do!

CLAIRE
I’m rejected and broken.
But that’s not the hard part.
The real assignment lies in rebuilding after my mother's affair and deceit.
I gave up everything, to create my own path.
But now I’m back.
And he thinks that I’m just like my mother.
I desperately need him.
He is my only salvation.

VAUGHN
She is a liar and a backstabber.
And now she wants to crawl back into my life.
But I won’t buy it.
I don’t want anything to do with her.
She and her mother are one and the same.
We are foes.
Nothing will ever change that.

My responsibility is to serve and protect.
It’s the code that I live by. It defines me.
It’s a vow I made, one that I have always stuck to.
And I intend to keep it that way.
However, when she returns to town, she is all that I can think about.
I don’t just want her, I need her.
 
But for a person in my position, I should do better.
My fantasies shouldn’t overwhelm me.
I won’t ever break her.
 
My job however threatens everything.
That alone is enough to make me avoid her like plague.
If not, I’ll just destroy her, and myself.

BROOKE FURY
I’m deceived and broken.
But that isn’t anything new.
As an officer of the law, I’ve witnessed more devastating things.
Nonetheless, I never imagined that I would ever be a victim.
Yet I became one.
And now, I don’t trust anyone.
I don’t trust him.
I don’t even trust myself.

RYAN CAGE
I’m faithful and committed, yet she won’t trust me.
She won’t allow me to draw closer.
I may be a detective, but even I can’t solve that mystery.
It just doesn’t work. Believe me, I’ve tried.
But unbeknownst to her, is that I’m the one person that she can trust.

I never expected a single ring of my doorbell to spin my entire world on its axis.

A missing mother, two abandoned children, and one incredibly attractive man crashed into my protected life.

I attempted to fight off what I felt for Dylan Sanborn, even pursuing other things in an effort to guard my heart.

We just weren’t right for each other.

I was to be single for the rest of my life, while he was not only a father to two children, but was also married.

However, when the truth is exposed, the two of us will discover just how powerful our love was.

No woman in their right mind would believe that there is such a thing as love at first sight.

Jane Nash is a woman in her right mind—for the most part.

However, when her lips lock with those of a total stranger at a baseball game, and the energetic crowd celebrates in approval, Jane finds herself on uncharted grounds.

But amidst the mayhem of the passionate supporters at the stadium, Mr. Perfect suddenly vanishes.

Now the mostly-sensible Jane finds herself on an insensible mission: find the mystery man.

Karman however has other plans.

Jane will not only receive everything she's ever wished for, but also get nothing she ever expected.

Jane Nash is finally perfectly happy in a relationship.

Dex Vanstone is the perfect guy for her, and the two seem like a dream couple.

However, when they end up on opposite ends of the planet due to their careers, their high-flying romance is threatened by temptations at every opportunity.

But despite the challenges that come with maintaining a long distance relationship, Jane and Dex actually make it work.

And right when it seems like the worst is already behind them, an evil figure surfaces—ruining everything.

Will Jane manage to defeat the wicked witch?

Will she ever have her happily ever after?

Still fresh from her break up, a heartbroken Jane Nash is determined to move on with her life.

Dex is the lasting thing that she wants to stress herself with.

As usual, Karma has something prepared for her.

So when their boss reunites the former couple, forcing them to work together for a piece about dating in the Big Apple, Jane and Dex plunge into the dark and deadly dating pool yet again.

It kills Jane seeing Dex with other women.

Will she ever date a guy who isn’t Dex?

Will she ever find someone who is perfect for her?

I have at long last returned home after watching my beloved brother struggle with his ailment—a fight that he eventually lost.

Home however isn’t what it used to be.

My closest friend, the only person who knows my secrets, now has a new boyfriend, who has a friend.

Inked and sinfully gorgeous, Shane Maxton is an unapologetic playboy.

But Shane is the most conceited and egotistic guy in the whole of New York City.

He is also the no strings attached kind of guy.

That however doesn’t count for anything, as I’ve spent my entire life waiting for my prince charming.

And Shane Maxton isn’t going to change that.

I finally found the angel that I was prohibited from giving my heart to after searching for him for a staggering two millennia.

Even better is that he has possesses the wickedly sexy body of Shane Maxton—rock star and the most notorious playboy in New York City.

But that’s not the only perfect thing.

Grace Taylor, the girl whose life I’ve taken over, is also suiting me perfectly.

The only thing preventing it from being perfect is Gabriel—the archangel who wants to make me his own.

Desperate, he abducts me.

And now I have to find a way of escaping, and hope that everything works to my advantage.

Shane Maxton is the leading man for Mad World, arguably the most popular rock band in New York City.

There is however more than meets the eye.

Shane isn’t who people think he is. He has secrets.

He hails from a different world, and a different age.

He is an angel living amongst men.

This is Shane’s tale, as told through his eyes.

It explores his prohibited love, how he became disgraced, and his inner battles as a result of living with the emotions of a mere mortal.

Somewhere in the southern swamps of Louisiana, youthful tourists, too curious for their own good, are lured by a sinister and foreboding mansion.

However, the moment they enter Ravenswood, they will never be seen or heard from again.

Rainey Halerow, a thorough New York resident, doesn’t know anything about it.

That however changes when her beloved grandmother is viciously killed right on her watch.

And the key to solving the mystery behind her ruthless death lies inside the mansion.

Tempted to make her way into the eerie house, the one thing that Rainey is certain of is that, what is inside Ravenswood is a lot more than just death.

The one thing that Rainey Halerow doesn’t want to do is return to that eerie and foreboding mansion.

Nevertheless, she knows that she has to do something, given how innocent souls are at the mercy of the wicked King Hemlock.

Determined to protect them at whatever cost, Rainey does the unexpected: she strikes a deal with the devil himself.

However, on top of demanding her loyalty, Hemlock wants far more than she is prepared to offer.

Unwilling to give in to the wishes of the King, Rainey finds herself in a precarious position.

Will she rescue herself, or those dear to her?

A decision must be made…
