Then a new discovery threatens to shatter his world, forcing Marcus to make his most devastating choice yet. Every town has stories of its past, and Havenwood Falls is no different. And when the town's residents include a variety of supernatural creatures, those historical tales often become Legends. These are but three.

Harlow Jones sucks at being a girl. She doesn't wear makeup, keeps her hair in a ponytail, and prides herself on her self taught tech skills. The most feminine thing she has ever done was giving birth to her son five years ago. All she wants now is a chance to make a better life for herself and her little boy. Blood is thicker than water, that concept was drilled into Jesse's head for as long as he could remember. He never wanted to be a bartender, yet was forced to abandon his dreams for the sake of his family. Now, all his energy is focused on keeping the bar-and his dad-afloat for another day. After meeting in a chance encounter, Jesse and Harlow soon discover that family doesn't always mean blood. Sometimes, it's the name given to the people you would do anything to protect.

Two broken hearts don't make a whole. But united, they might stand a chance at redemption. Working in a male dominated industry, I'm used to clawing my way to the top for an ounce of recognition. I thought that made me unbreakable, able to take on whatever the world threw at me. Then, cruel fate proved otherwise. The dagger of betrayal cut deep, wielded by the two people I cared about most. Now, I know I'm spiraling into a free fall of self-destruction, but I can't seem to pull myself out of the spin. Meeting Beck Gallagher, I felt an unhinged darkness in him that matched my own. A master of pain, he makes his living memorializing the heartache of others. Add to that a killer beard and deep baritone voice, and my panties and willpower disappear. Like me, he's haunted by demons from his past. Can we help each other heal from the pain? Or will we forever remain beautifully broken?

Angel Jax is screwed. Interrupting a domestic dispute landed her on the radar of a known crime boss, leaving him itching for some violent payback. In a panic, she turns to the toughest guy she knows. He's ex-military, trained in Special Forces... and broke her heart fifteen years ago. Out of options and time, Angel puts her pride aside and seeks him out before the crime boss can fit her with a pair of cement boots. Gabe's passion for Angel never fizzled, as he quickly realizes when she shows up out of the blue and immediately picks a fight with his assistant. Longing for her more than ever, he's on instant alert when she claims she's in trouble. Before he can determine the magnitude of the threat, she's snatched off the sidewalk right in front of him. Now, Gabe will stop at nothing to get her back. He's willing to sacrifice his money, connections, and heart to keep her safe. But will it be enough to protect the woman he never should have let go?

Jeanette is a liar. She has to be to stay alive. Tired of running, she prays she's finally found a place to call home. No more new names, no more new backstories... she hopes. But one glimpse of Dino, and she recognizes a fellow master of deception. Despite her growing attraction to him, she knows he's a man with secrets that can rival her own. Dino has so many identities, even he doesn't know who he is anymore. On the surface, he appears to be just another muscled thug, breaking kneecaps and extorting money from local business owners. If anyone learned the truth about him though, he would be a dead man within a week. With their worlds colliding, Dino and Jeanette find themselves entangled in each other's lies. Will they risk exposing their vulnerable truths? Or hide behind the security of their practiced deceptions?

All Jaxxen wanted to do was go back to sleep-forever. But no, his baby brother had to go and break the ancient curse that kept them bound to the lake by finding his mate. Good for him, but Jaxxen had never planned on a happily-ever-after for himself. Since his brother had gone through the trouble of brutally waking him up, Jaxxen might as well surface one last time to meet his new sister and wish them the best. Except he never expected to meet a fiery goddess with the mouth of a seasoned warrior. No, her flailing fists, and other body parts, were definitely not part of his-make small talk, go back to the bottom of the lake and sleep until the end of time-life plan. And even worse, she's making claims she knows nothing about. Claims that could have him feeling things he never wanted to feel. Blaire was tired of waiting. She'd seen the mate mark when she was just a teenager and wasted no time finding out what it meant. She was a mate of the deep. Jaxxen was hers and he had the audacity to tell her, "No thanks" like his word was law? Unacceptable. Even if she could make herself believe she doesn't need him, she didn't wait all this time for her prince to come only to take no for an answer from a black-eyed barbarian with a chip on his shoulder. He could get on board or they could spend eternity fighting about it, because she'd go down to the deep and get him before she let him have his way. She won't let Jaxxen be lost, because she'd be lost too. And she knew they were meant to find each other.

Three days a month is not enough time to find love for a normal person, and Kristofer hasn't been normal for over eight hundred years. If he wants to find his one true love, the woman who can free him from the prison that is Sapphire Lake, then he's going to have to get . . . creative. The only person that can see a mate mark is a mate. That small patch of scales that stays on the cursed ones at all times, even during their land time. All of them have it-Kristofer's is just in a really inconvenient place. No matter. There is no room for pride or prudence when it comes to finding "the one." Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if the mate mark is the only foolproof way to be sure, he'll show it off. He'll show it all. Charli didn't want to come home to Aurora Falls. This town and everything in it reminds her of things she'd rather not think about. If it wasn't for her sister's wedding, Charli wouldn't come back at all. But at the bachelorette party, something flashy catches her eye, and the girl who always wished she could blend into the background finds that she can't look away. There's something about Kristofer that commands her attention-and annoyance. Charli isn't a gullible little girl anymore. She doesn't believe in legends, hollow compliments, or the charming words of a stranger who seems to know more about her than he should. And even though her body reacts to his movements in the most alarming of ways-she will remain resolute. She's in Aurora Falls to support her sister, nothing more. She definitely will not fall for that flashy, sexy man.
