Fiona Ferguson wants nothing more than to flee Miss Lavinia Chase’s Finishing School. Rather than the safe haven the girls’ families presume it to be, the school is intent on making its charges conform to the rules—by any means necessary. For Fiona, the only thing worse than staying at the dreaded “Last Chance Academy” would be abandoning the friends she’s made there. But when she receives word from home that her sister is in trouble, Fiona plots her escape…

A devoted spy in service to the Crown, Alex Knight takes his duties very seriously. His latest assignment—to ensure that the incorrigible Fiona remain safely at school—turns out to be far more of a challenge than he expected. After matching wits with the fiery Scottish beauty, he learns that the greatest danger of all… begins with a kiss.

Izel Campbell was raised to believe she is an immortal Fionn with the magical skills of persuasion. But when she travels to Scotland to visit her ancestral home, Izel discovers that she is actually the world’s last living human. Forced to run for her life, Izel crosses paths with Kelvin Kerr, the Campbells’ greatest foe—and the most magnificent warrior she has ever seen.

A thousand-year-old battle chief of the Kerr clan, Kelvin lives only to avenge his father, who died at the hands of the bloody Campbells. Honor demands he kill the Campbell heir, but when he learns that the lovely Izel is both Campbell
and
human, Kelvin is torn between duty and desire…

Warriors of the Rift

Once a generation, the rift between the paranormal world and the human world opens, allowing supernatural entities to cross. Vampires, demons, or shape-shifters, they can save the world—or send it spiraling into chaos.

Sirina lan Maro has always been loyal to her home planet of Avasa, fighting alongside her brother and cousin in their nation’s army. But when her cousin plots the assassination of their planet’s leader, Sirina finds herself hunted and imprisoned, along with her family. Though innocent of any wrongdoing, Sirina is forced through the rift, only to find herself in nineteenth-century London, trapped in the body of a human host. Now as she struggles to survive in this strange new world, Sirina must find the very people who betrayed her—and stop their deadly endgame.
