Joining the vampyre was supposed to be easy compared to hunting bloodthirsty night humans all night long. However, Jax soon finds it's anything but. He had only ever seen the night human world from the outside before, but now has to find a way to live inside it. More than anything, his father wants him to be the one thing Jax has hated his whole life-a night human. It's easy to decline his father's wishes when he doesn't have the answers to blocking the hunter genes that keep Jax human. But it's harder when his father plays his hand. Wes Cunningham has found the one thing that can motivate Jax to do what he wants. Now it isn't just about Jax finding a way to avoid being a full-time night human; someone else's life is also on the line. Jax has a mission to find out how to become a night human, even if he doesn't want to be one. And it isn't easy. No one seems to know the answer no matter where they look. Whether he likes it or not, Jax needs to find out how to break free from his hunter side to be a night human. Unfortunately, his old hunter family is the only ones with answers, and they aren't willing to share details. If he can't find an answer, he will lose an old friend. If he does find the answer, he will have to live life as something he despises.

Welcome to the Merworld. Hidden from normal humans is an ocean filled with mer people. While they all have the same goal-to stay hidden from the hunters that kill them without question-that doesn't mean the clans all get along. A thinly veiled peace agreement hides the growing dissent of the clans. Leo and his best friend, Sam, want out of the Merworld and are willing to cut ties with everyone they know to do so. Unfortunately, Sam's father, the Merworld king, isn't about to let that happen and is ready to punish Leo for thinking of leaving the Merworld. With the punishment happening to be death, Leo and Sam are more than willing to go on a dangerous adventure into a lower merclan's home to look for evidence of disobedience. Their one goal is to find something to keep themselves safe, but Leo happens to find something he never knew he was missing in the first place, and something that might make him want to stay in the Merworld after all.

To be the best courier in the world, eighteen-year-old Ben t Leila follows three simple rules: always work alone, never stay in one place too long, and never fall in love. Too bad she didn't follow her own advice. Leila is a courier. To the people she takes from, she is seen as a common thief; to the people she helps, she is a savior. Nalick is your typical king. He's rich, powerful, and always assumed to be right. When Leila crosses paths with King Nalick, she finds herself trapped. In a rush to save her best friend Kay from a prison sentence for a crime Leila committed, Leila trades her hand in marriage in exchange for Kay's freedom. Tomboy Leila does not want to grow up, but in three months' time, she will be married to King Nalick, if Nalick can keep his end of the bargain. First, Nalick must make Leila fall in love with him, a hard task since Leila is not ready to love again after losing her first love to a greedy king. Second, Nalick must keep her safe. He is not the only king trying to hold onto her. Leila has made many enemies over the years, and even more admirers that want her as a prize. Lastly, Nalick must convince Leila that ten years of love is better than a lifetime without. Unless Leila can trust her destiny, she might not reach her wedding day at all.
