I just approved the black and white sketch of Toxic Hearts, which means we'll have the fully rendered art in a couple of days ;)

I didn't announce this one anywhere before launching-it's so my contemporary lovers have something as fun as my fantasy lovers this summer!
If you haven't had a chance to check out the individual stories yet, here they are...

Erica

The only thing Chase Archer hates more than me is how much he wants me.

Day and night, he punishes me for crimes I didn’t commit, making me bear the weight of my mother’s sins.

Then he decides to change the rules of our twisted game. After what he put me through, he thinks he can claim me? I’ll never give in, even if I have to destroy my heart along with his.

Chase

So, I might have messed up. I didn’t have all the facts. If I’d known then what I know now, I would have claimed her the first time we met, and never let go.

Instead, I tried to break her.

Not that any of my mistakes matter. Erica will be mine, even if I have to destroy my heart along with hers.

Thousands of students, and the mandatory pen pal assigned to help me acclimate to this new college is the freaking worst.
Thousands of roommates, and mine has a revolving door, welcoming guy after guy into our space—often more than one at a time.
And then there’s him. Sebastian Keller. Hot, popular, rude, and determined to drive me insane.
To say my escape from home isn’t off to a great start is an understatement. But I can’t return. I can’t be the person my mother is trying to turn me into, obey her every edict, marry the guy she picked, or else.
Being in Thorn Falls with those depraved, twisted people so different from me is turning me into someone else.
And what’s worse?
I might just like it.

For weeks, he came to see me, his eyes following me as I worked the pole. Anyone would have noticed him. A man as gorgeous, obviously rich, and young doesn’t really belong in the kind of seedy joint where I take my clothes off to pay the bills.

Callum Noble. An actual, bona fide prince. Or royal psycho, as I call him. 

I got a feeling he was there for me specifically, but I didn’t think he’d approach me with an offer like that. 

I certainly didn’t think I’d accept. 

Ivy

Alessandro Valmont. Rich. Gorgeous. Cruel.

I once made the mistake of believing he was mine. And then I paid the price.

I’ve done everything in my power to stay away, going as far as leaving the kingdom, never once returning.

But after four years, I agreed to visit my family’s new winter retreat.

We have our own chalet, so even if the royals are vacationing nearby, there’s no reason for me to see any of them—and especially not him.

Until a storm traps us in a house without heat or power.

My little sister and I flew in first, and our parents are stuck on the other side of the kingdom. Now we can freeze to death, or I have to let my royal enemy next door save us, although he and his friends made my teenage years a living nightmare.

I think I’d rather die in the snow, but with Bella in tow, what choice do I have?

Less

Ivy was always fun to play with, but after she escaped me, the rules of the games are going to change.

I have her right where I’ve always needed her, and this time? She can run all she wants.

I’m not letting her go.
