Lindenshaw Mysteries
Adam Matthews's life changed when Inspector Robin Bright walked into his classroom to investigate a murder. Now it seems like all the television series are right: the leafy villages of England do indeed conceal a hotbed of crime, murder, and intrigue. Lindenshaw is proving the point. Detective work might be Robin's job, but Adam somehow keeps getting involved—even though being a teacher is hardly the best training for solving crimes. Then again, Campbell, Adam's irrepressible Newfoundland dog, seems to have a nose for figuring things out, so how hard can it be?

Exalted
The world of Lyr is changing, and with it the planet’s two peoples: the agricultural Adesi and the technological Jevites who live on mysterious citadels built by absent gods. And among the stars, ancient beings turn their eyes downward for the first time in a millennium. For the Yy family—respectable Adesi winemakers—their simple lives are thrown into chaos as they are drawn into the turmoil around them. Now, one by one, they’ll have to contend with treason, family politics, cults, and the most dangerous and unpredictable thing of all: love.
Hearts and Crafts
New careers, the demands of family, and a changing relationship with the past. For Oliver, Nick, Gray, Aaron, Cam, and Victor, the challenges of midlife aren’t confined to a single crisis. In order to make sense of the choices they’ve made up to this point regarding their jobs, partners, physical and mental health, and the faces they show the world, they’ll need to reevaluate who they are and what they want—and then move forward.

Demons of Elysium
Elysium’s Demon District is a hotbed of rebellion. While some in Raqia resist supernal rule, one fiery masochist in particular rails against the discipline he craves. Gruff firespirit Vasily is new to submission, but for Belphagor, dominance is second nature—and he’s more than happy to show Vasily the ropes. A master of the game of wingcasting—Raqia’s answer to poker—Belphagor is used to thinking only of his next conquest, but falling for Vasily is liable to upend all the tables. It’s only when angels get involved that things start going to hell. From gambling houses to brothels and from Heaven to a little place called Russia in the world of Man, Belphagor and Vasily may spark a revolution—or maybe just conquer each other’s hearts.

Havoc’s community is tough to penetrate, but once these hard-living motorcycle men have taken you in, saved your life (maybe after threatening it a few times), or even fallen in love with you, you’re Havoc MC forever. Unless you’re one of their enemies, in which case you’re completely out of luck.

Seven of Spades
Las Vegas has never seen a serial killer like the Seven of Spades. The self-styled vigilante is on a mission to cut down the wicked and treacherous, and Sin City has no shortage of targets for their bloody wrath. What happens in Vegas . . . ends with the Seven of Spades’s calling card on a grisly corpse. Standing against the killer are Levi Abrams, a dedicated homicide detective locked in a constant struggle to restrain his own dark side, and bounty hunter Dominic Russo, a charming rogue with a heavy secret weighing on his shoulders. The hunt for the Seven of Spades sends Levi and Dominic on a collision course, igniting a passionate relationship forged in conflict and sealed with blood. Together they’re stronger than the sum of their parts, but a wily, elusive serial killer isn’t the only threat that will strain their bond to the breaking point. Ante up, because the Seven of Spades is all in. Are you?

Tom Boudreaux—failed FBI agent, failed sheriff, full-time believer in bad luck—jumps at the chance for salvation offered by EE. He’s eager to feel useful again, even if it means partnering with a man like Prophet, who doesn’t want a partner at all. But as the two men work through missions that mix their personal lives with their professional ones, the lines between good and evil, friend and foe, and enemy and lover all begin to blur.
