Billionaire. Next-door neighbor. Mortal enemy.

I knew it was a bad idea to get on the elevator.
Because now, I have three problems.
#1 I’m stuck in the elevator.
#2 I’m soaking wet from the rain.
#3 HE got in before the doors closed.

Miles Humphries.
My neighbor. The one I HATE.
Cocky. Tall. Infuriatingly hot. The biggest jerk I’ve ever met.
Mr. Bachelor-for-Life and I are complete opposites:
I’m reserved, he’s the life of the party.
I love my cat, he loves his motorcycle.
I live quietly, he lives to annoy me.

Imagine my jaw drop when he asks me to be his fake fiancée.
And move in with him.
Together with my cat.
Hello? That’s disaster waiting to happen.
It’s insulting, ridiculous, and inappropriate.

But then he makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
And suddenly, I’m engaged and living with my nemesis.

Theirs is a marriage of convenience

She loves another…

Lady Julie has dreamed of marrying her childhood sweetheart since she was four years old. Unfortunately, her father has other plans. He has his sights set on her marrying an earl. When she is forced into an unwanted betrothal, Julie needs to make a choice: wait for her true love and destroy her honor, or make a deal with the forbidding earl.

He vowed to never love again…

Robert, the Earl of Clydesdale, has sworn off love. A marriage of convenience is more to his liking. So he wasn’t about to turn away a beautiful young lady’s plea for help in exchange for her hand in marriage. But once he spends more time with his betrothed, his icy heart begins to melt. Only his betrothed is in love with another. Now Robert has a choice, either lock his heart away and live in misery, or take a risk and fight for the woman he loves.

It’s going to take more than carefully labeled boxes to sort through the clues of this homicide…

Professional organizer Crystal Ward is ready to launch Organizing Chicago—if she can survive her first client. The extra income would allow her to renovate her own home, full of more cluttered spaces than she’d ever admit to her clients. But her life wasn’t always this disorganized. Five years ago her husband, Rick, a Chicago police detective, was shot while chasing a suspect. Now a paraplegic, he’s wary of her going into strangers’ homes…and for good reason.

When Crys discovers a dead man in a client’s living room, she refuses to accept that the murder is an open-and-shut case of domestic violence. If she can untangle this mess, she can prove her client’s innocence and ease Rick’s fears.

But the only witness to the murder is hospitalized in a catatonic state. And the lead detective is Rick’s former partner, the man Crys blames for his paralysis. With her husband warning her to stay out of it and a murderer erasing evidence, Crystal must outwit a killer before she becomes the next loose end to be tied up.

When assassins murdered my mother, I knew I was next. All I wanted was a chance to live my life before it was ruthlessly cut short.

I sought escape through an education abroad, hoping to slip into a semblance of normal life—an impossible dream. But as the last of my line, danger shadowed me wherever I went. My father assigned a protector to watch over me.

A young knight whose gaze was a prison, whose loyalty was my leash.

I despised Lorcan for ruining my one chance to try life away from court. But the night I escaped his close watch, death found me. My heart pounded as I watched him, realizing for the first time the depth of his dedication. I began to see my guard in a different light.

No one could ever know how much my feelings had changed…especially not Lorcan.

Until war came for us all, and the truth came out.

My grandmother promised me to a hot, cursed dragon who happens to be her mortal enemy.

Why does she want me to spend the rest of my life with a man she calls ‘lizard breath’? She’s an enchantress and she cast a love spell over Tyson Drake fifty years ago. It failed pretty spectacularly, and he’s been trapped in his human form ever since.

But she’s convinced I can change things. That the magic she’s been teaching me about is enough to make the spell come true. Now Tyson’s willing to give Gran’s magic one more try and take a chance on me.

I can’t stop thinking about him, but will becoming Tyson’s mate be enough to make him finally shift into his dragon form, or will my magic be the death of him?

When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from the censors’ strict oversight due to the show’s classification as science fiction, the 156 episodes explored classic, powerful, and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in a unique style. The program sparked the imaginations of countless writers and filmmakers around the world.

With More Stories from the Twilight Zone, some of today’s finest writers have written all-new stories celebrating the unique vision and power of Rod Serling’s landmark series. The previous anthology boasted a stellar group including New York Times bestselling authors Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, and Laura Lippman, and writers who wrote scripts for the original Twilight Zone and its later incarnations, such as Earl Hamner and Alan Brennert.

So as Rod Serling said, “…prepare to enter that fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. And it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call…The Twilight Zone.”

When the owner and the chef of a popular diner in a small north Georgia town are found shot to death shortly before opening early one morning, Joseph Owens, a hot-tempered busboy, quickly becomes the prime suspect. District Attorney Paul Chastain, facing a serious challenge in his bid for reelection, charges Owens with the murders despite pleas from the lead detective for more time to investigate. After a hard-fought trial in which the judge allows the prosecutor to present highly emotional testimony despite the defense lawyer’s objections, Owens is convicted and sentenced to death by the jury.

Two Atlanta lawyers, who observed part of the trial, become convinced the prosecution’s case is flimsy at best. Shocked by the outcome, they get permission from their firm’s managing partner to represent Owens in his final appeal. But as the appeal drags on and costs the firm more and more in lost legal fees, tensions begin to rise. Their involvement has a drastic impact not just on Owens, but on many others involved in the case, as well as on their own lives and careers.
