Summary: In 773 AD, Roland, a young man of King Charles’ court, was gifted with the sword Durendal. That sword was one of four swords of rare power, three of which were held by Wardens, mages charged with protecting the sacred bloodline of the Merovingian kings. The last sword was held by their mentor, the mage known to history as Turpin. That same year, a Saxon priest seeking retribution against Charles enlists the aid of a mage who seeks the swords for his own purpose, setting into motion events that lead to the battle at the Pass of Roncevaux, and to Roland’s death. A thousand years later, a research group doing excavations in part of Aachen Cathedral uncovers a collection of books and scrolls, a ring, and a sword. As they uncover the sword, they are attacked. Summoned to the site by the power of the magical attack, Yael Mystere and his apprentice, Warden-in-training Doctor Douglas Keith discover the sole survivor – Margaret Prentice, the daughter of the man leading the excavation. A second attempt on her life fails, sending Yael, Douglas and Margaret on a quest for the power behind the attacks ─ a power that has been waiting a thousand years to win the swords at all costs.

Summary: How do you ask the biggest pop star in the Western world on a date? When Kai “The Train” Reinhart, star defensive end for the Miami Cyclones, tells his teammate that he has a crush on Sterling Grayson, it’s just a joke. A drunken slip of the tongue, if you will. An innocent comment turns into the biggest adventure (or headache?) of Kai’s life when he gets a call from Sterling’s personal assistant’s assistant, asking if he wants to get on a private jet and fly out and meet Sterling in person. It’s more than a little crazy, because Sterling Grayson isn’t just a hot guy—he’s a superstar. A superstar with a legion of crazy, obsessed fans (the #Graylings), a staff the size of an army, zero privacy, and a world tour that’s keeping him just slightly busy. Wherever Sterling goes, he ignites a firestorm of publicity. From the sun-drenched seaside of Miami to the Cliff Walk in Newport, from Los Angeles to London, the paparazzi are never more than a few clever steps behind. As Kai navigates complicated personal drama on and off the field, he also has to contend with the less-savory realities of being Sterling Grayson’s significant other, like homophobic protesters, jealous teammates, and the pervasive worry that maybe Sterling’s deepest feelings are hidden behind way too many walls to overcome. Kai may be “football famous,” but he’s a fairly normal guy. Down-to-earth, loves his family. Loves his privacy. Loving Sterling might mean giving that last one up completely. Over the course of a year, Kai’s going to learn how to woo the complicated man behind the mega-star. Or, at the very least, he’s going to learn the subtle, but explosive art of creating a media sensation. Readers should note this book contains graphic adult content, as well as scenes of domestic violence (side characters) that some readers may find triggering.

Summary: Noah is Griffin Colewater’s best friend and absolutely no one knows him better. Certainly not any of the parade of girlfriends he’s had over the years. Even his most recent, Lauren, whom he has been with the longest. And just broke up with. Does it make Noah a terrible friend if he’s just a little bit thrilled about that? It doesn’t really matter, though. Griffin is the oldest son of the owners of Colewater Properties, a multi-gazillion dollar hotel conglomerate. He is also next in line to take over when his father retires which makes Griffin the most sought-after bachelor in the city. So, another girl is right around the corner. The issue? Griffin’s mother claims to be desperately tired of his playboy antics. She is demanding Griffin settle down with a wife and family “or else”. Being that Griffin has never actually been able to please his mother in anything, Noah doesn’t understand Griffin’s hopeless mission to make that happen now. Which makes the huge charity bash his parents are throwing a bit problematic. His mother is insisting on meeting Lauren. Yep. Griffin has yet to tell her he’s single again. And he insists he’s not going to. Instead, Griffin does something insane. He hires a fake girlfriend. Yah. A fake Lauren. Well ― not fake. She’s a ‘Lauren’, too. But that’s not the point. Griffin asked Noah to provide the “girlfriend for months” knowledge to Lauren number two so she could pull this whole ‘girlfriend’ thing off. Honestly. What can go wrong with that? Everything. Because Griffin is not only Noah’s very best friend in all the world, Noah is also so crazy in love with the man, he hurts. A stupid stunt like this could reveal that very thing and freak Griffin’s parents out so badly, he’s sure they will gift Noah with cement boots and personally pitch him off the pier themselves. But the bigger problem in Noah’s mind? Griffin is totally not gay and if he ever found out Noah’s true feelings? Damn. Griffin would more than likely be the one mixing the cement.
