About the Author:

Dean Murray discovered the joys of reading at a young age and
unknowingly ingested large doses of romance along with his
science fiction and fantasy. By the time he realized what had
happened it was too late to reverse the process and he spent
his formative years (while his peers were still convinced that
girls had cooties) trying to convince one specific girl to be
his girlfriend to no avail.

As fate would have it, he's incredibly grateful that he
failed in his attempts in second grade because it meant that
he was able to eventually find his real happily ever after
with his wife Katie to whom he's been happily married for
more than six years.

Dean is the author of several dozen published novels (and a
host of short stories), which collectively have more than
half a million copies in circulation, and he's currently writing
six books a year in an effort to create the perfect, larger
than life romance story—which he's pretty sure involves either
vampire, werewolves, fairies or shape shifters.

True love never dies.

In just a few days a new arrival at Selene's high school will turn her entire world upside down. She's never met anyone so attractive—or so mysterious—before this, but Jace's unyielding insistence that they've known each other for decades can't be denied—not given how familiar he feels to her.

In the hidden world of gods and fairies what you don't know can get you killed faster than anything else and only those you love have any chance of saving you.

Something powerful is stirring in the darkness. Something so ancient that even
creatures who've been alive for hundreds of years have long since discounted this new
threat as nothing more than myth.

Normal humans will be caught in the crossfire, but then that's always the way of
things. Geoffrey has no memory of his past life or any idea how to survive in the
violent, dangerous world in which he's trapped. Despite his best efforts, he's about to
find himself in the middle of a conflict that threatens to sweep away everything,
and everyone he's been fighting so hard to protect.

Sometimes love finds you when you aren't looking for it.

The accident that forced Adri and her mother to move to a new high school also cost Adri her dad and sister. Adri just wants to blend in and buy herself time to grieve, but two of the most popular, gorgeous guys in school are about to take an inexplicable interest in her.

Adri will be forced into a world where the players aren't all human. She will be forced to choose between Brandon and Alec, and this time the wrong choice could get her killed.

The invitation to join the secretive Guadel should have been the fulfillment of dreams Va'del didn't even realize he had. When his sponsors are killed in an ambush a short time later, he instead finds his probationary status revoked, and becomes a pawn between various factions inside the Guadel ruling body.

Jain's never known any life but that of a Guadel in training. She'd thought herself reconciled to the idea of a loveless marriage for the good of her people, but meeting Va'del changes everything. Their growing attraction flies against hundreds of years of precedent, but as wide-spread attacks threaten their world, the Guadel have no choice but to use even Jain and Va'del in their fight for survival.

Meet Charles Tucker, he has spent nearly 30 years living in
denial, trying desperately to hide from his past and the events
that shattered his heart beyond any possibility of healing. He
can't let anyone close, for doing so would open him up to being
hurt again, and there's no way he could survive another wounding.

Meet the Saunders family, new to the neighborhood and
teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. Mark, the father, talks
a good story but is that all he is? His plan could hold the key
to reversing his family's financial misfortunes, or it could
wipe out everyone involved.

Meet Chet, a battered old '64 Chevy pickup that was there on
the night Charles' life imploded. For nearly three decades,
he has been locked away in an old barn, safely out of sight
if not completely out of mind. For 29 years Charles has
blamed the old pickup for the destruction of his life,
now he's about to find that the vehicle that destroyed his
life might be the key to his healing and a journey of
unexpected miracles.
