With the root of all evil-at least in Bannen's opinion-behind lock and key, the team is finally free to do something else with their lives. Bannen quite looks forward to living in Gargan, the new house being built, with the occasional mission to spice things up. Sure, the MISD thinks he needs therapy after everything he's lived through in the past three years. But Bannen is reasonably sure he can get around that. They just need the downtime necessary to get Chi through therapy, as he's the one who actually needs it. Peace and relaxation, that's the theme of the day.So someone needs to explain to him how they ended up chasing after a rumored Void Mage, tunneling through mountains, and embroiling themselves into a danger that not even the giants of Gargan want to face. Because that is not Bannen's idea of a good adventure.

Earth Mage Rhebentrev'noren never expected to be warlord of anywhere, much less Khobunter. For that matter, he never expected to receive orders directly from a Gardener, which is an experience and a half all by itself. Not that he can properly dwell on it, with everything else demanding his attention. In this harsh, desert land, the new warlords are missing half of the resources they require. They need to build their own magical academy, but sorely lack enough trained magicians to run it. They need to conquer the rest of Riyu without making the same mistakes they did at Alred Watchtower, but don't possess the means to pull it off. Willpower, dragons, and magic can only carry them so far. They need more allies and time to gather them with. Unfortunately, the remaining warlords of Khobunter have no intention of giving them that time.

Yay first Queen's Own case! Yay first international case! Blowing people up with bombs, not so yay. This is supposed to be a murder-suicide but the case smells. And not just because the dead potion maker lacks knowledge about the cure he supposedly created. Jamie's got a smoking crater of an office (and body), a queen breathing down her neck, a witness clinging to life, and no answers. One thing she knows for certain, however-this potion is a cure to die for.

What's a man to do when his security company is hacked with a message from the hacker asking for a job? You hire him, of course. Which is precisely what Aleks does. At first, he's conflicted to learn Harris is only seventeen and on the run from a past he refuses to talk about, but that confliction soon morphs into feelings for the tragic genius, and he desperately wants Harris to open up and trust him. Maybe it wasn't the best decision to start off his new life by hacking into a well-known security company to ask for a job, but Harris is surprised by what he finds there-a boss who genuinely seems to care about him. As the months pass, Harris finds he wants to tell Aleks everything. To stop hiding. To finally stop running, unless it's into the man's arms. But fear's grip is strong, and doesn't let go easily. So, when Harris's past does come calling? Aleks must prove he will do whatever is necessary to protect his new employee and friend-including fake marrying him, despite being in love with him.

When Brandon Havili gets recruited by the FBI, he's immediately assigned to shadow his brother and the psychic Donovan's anchored to. Brandon doesn't mind this in the slightest. He loves his brother, Jon seems cool, and it's a great way to learn how to be an anchor, which is what the FBI wants him for. It's supposedly three weeks of just following people around and observing. But there's a hitch in the plans. Brandon accidentally picks up a hitchhiker of the ghostly variety. Donovan is NOT pleased. Jon is amused to no end. Dealing with the ghost means going back to the place Brandon accidentally got it from, Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They expect to meet up with an FBI medium, exorcise said ghost, and go home again. FBI Medium Mackenzie Lafayette is not at all what Brandon expects. And for once, he's quite happy to ditch the plan. Returning to Nashville can wait. He's got a sexy medium to figure out first.

One ancient mask with earth-bending powers searching for a bearer.One magical retrieval expert who is determined to seal it back in its tomb.At the moment, both are failing at their goals, but Arwen is not about to be bested. So what if she doesn't know what culture it's from or where to put it back. She's smarter than a semi-sentient mask. Hopefully.But if the thrice-cursed mask breaks out of her seal one more time, she's melting it with prejudice, magical backlash be damned.

It's not stealing if you're stealing it back....Ari had a game plan for life. Shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn't know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl. Things get more complicated when the mercenary, Carter Harrison, approaches him with a job. He needs Ari's expertise to get into the very high-security museum, Knowles, and steal back Monet's Water Lily Pond. The job isn't an easy one. He'd need more than the two of them to make it happen. It's further complicated because Ari's not sure what to do with his new daughter while working this job. And for that matter, how's he supposed to handle the sexy mercenary? Tags: Not child safe but child approved, children know best, Remi approves this book, idiots in love, but Remi loves them anyway, criminals make the best uncles, family of choice, Ari acknowledges Remi as the smarter one, Carter admits his own insanity, nothing blows up, Ivan is very disappointed by this, Kyou has PLANS for Remi, licking solves all problems, bedsheets, lifeskills, children should come with warning labels, it's not stealing if you're stealing it BACK, right?, the author once again regrets nothing

Devan can't stop laughing.Tags: Tan's turn to need help, what are they teaching these adventurers?, I'm not saying baby adventurers are stupid, but if you put a candle next to their ears their eyes will shine, Tan has all the plans, Devan laughs for the first time, Tan loves it, even if it's at his expense, Tan is banned from Osedon Conclave, for reasons, Tan disguises himself as a girl, also for reasons, no one likes to be drowned, no one, even magic swords knows who's boss
