In the shadow of Mount Hood, 16-year-old Tennant is checking rabbit traps with her eight-year-old sister Sophie when the girls are suddenly overcome by a strange vibration rising out of the forest, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams. From out of nowhere, their father sweeps them up and drops them through a trapdoor into a storm cellar. But the sound only gets worse....

Manhattan Walker’s family is epically large and loud (and as odd as the name they gave him). But when his mother dies, generations of closely-held family secrets unravel, and he realizes that no one is ever who they appear to be, including them. Burdened with the power to see the past, and a talisman no one understands, Manhattan is thrust into the clandestine world of magic. There are murders the police can’t know about, dangerous spells that force him to face the darkness of his past, and a man without a face who wants him dead.

The allure of the taboo. A secret club where passion is the focus, and pleasure is guaranteed.

Nothing is more enchanting than the wonder of a child on Christmas morning. But Hope is not the only one who will experience the magic of the holidays. Sir may not care for the season, but he enjoys challenging his beloved sub. In the absence of extended family, you turn to your friends. Unwrapping gifts will take on a whole new meaning at the training center. And Santa has never been hotter!
