We're not free to give into this. She's 19, and I'm 38. And I'm her boyfriend's father. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.

Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could've done. It didn't matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I'd have time to disappear before he got out or he'd cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was. But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he's anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan. And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn't expect this. He doesn't want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.

Tiernan ist ein Leben in Luxus gewohnt. Doch nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern findet sie sich in der abgelegenen Wildnis Colorados wieder – in der Obhut von Jake, dem Stiefbruder ihres Vaters, der mit seinen beiden Söhnen in den Bergen lebt. Tiernan muss sich in dieser rauen Umgebung behaupten, während sie mit Verlust, Einsamkeit und ihrem Platz in der Welt ringt. Doch dann kommt der Winter, und Tiernan erkennt, was Familie wirklich bedeutet und dass nur die Regeln zählen, die sie zu brechen wagt.

Erika: His name is Michael Crist. My boyfriend's older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team and now gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she? Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of 18. She's sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado.

I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I'll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies. A plan. I just didn't expect one of my enemies to come to me. I can smell her hiding in the house. She's here. Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I'm only one of her problems.

Damon: Will is gone. He hasn't been seen in months, and the texts coming from his phone are almost certainly forged. Something's wrong. We need to act now. Michael is ready to tear down The Cove, Rika's hiding something, Evans Crist is a threat, and Winter's father is still out there. Everyone is off in a million directions, and we're vulnerable. It's time to do this. It's time to claim our place.

On the other side of town are five brothers. . . Macon is the oldest. I've never seen him smile. Army is a single dad with beautiful green eyes. Iron will be in prison soon. Dallas is the one I hate. Trace used to be mine. I need to go home. Away from the swamps and these men. I’ll leave tomorrow. I'll crash on the couch tonight. Everyone is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me.

Versprechen, Verrat und Versuchung Will Grayson war schon immer rücksichtslos, wild und hat sich nie an eine einzige Regel gehalten, außer genau das zu tun, was er wollte. Und genau deshalb ist er jetzt in Blackchurch. Ein abgelegenes Herrenhaus an einem geheimen Ort, an den die Reichen und Mächtigen ihre verhaltensauffälligen Söhne schicken, um sich vor neugierigen Blicken abzuschotten. Sie sind unter sich – bis plötzlich Emory dort auftaucht. Die einzige Person, die Will jemals geliebt hat.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Michael Crist, el hermano mayor de mi exnovio, es como esa película de miedo que estás deseando ver. Guapo, fuerte e intimidante, le he observado durante años, deseando estar más cerca para comprobar si lo que se dice de él es verdad. Es la estrella del equipo de baloncesto de su universidad, jamás había reparado en mí y apenas me había mirado… hasta ahora. Tiene algo en mente, lo noto, casi puedo saborearlo pero, sabiendo todo lo que sé, ¿quiero averiguar que tiene planeado?

Will Grayson ist spurlos verschwunden, und seine Freunde ahnen Böses. Doch bevor sie ihn retten können, müssen sie die Spannungen innerhalb der Gruppe beilegen. Auf einer luxuriösen Jacht mitten auf dem Meer werden die Karten auf den Tisch gelegt. Alles, worüber sie nicht sprechen. Alles, was sie voreinander geheim halten. Alles, was sie entzweien könnte. Werden sie wieder zueinander finden? Werden sie einen Rettungsplan für Will schmieden? Und werden sie das Konklave überstehen?

WINTER: Enviarlo a prisión fue lo peor que pude haber hecho. No importaba que él cometiera el crimen o que yo deseara que estuviera muerto.

Tres años pasaron demasiado rápido y la prisión sólo le dio tiempo para planificar. Y aunque anticipé su venganza, no esperaba esto.

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone. We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumours got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.

I cross the tracks every day for one reason - to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red. Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back. At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

The clock at St. Killian’s chimes as whispers float in the dark staircase above. Snow falls from the black sky beyond the windows, and candles glow - the flames lighting up the longest night of the year. Devil’s Night isn’t the only holiday we celebrate. Tonight, we’re pulling on a different mask. Some call it Midwinter. Others call it Yule. We call it Fire Night.
