Old enemies, new alliances, bitter rivalry, fiery passion, brutal treachery, and cold-blooded murder threaten to either pull the Shields apart or turn them into an impenetrable force. Some Shields are born of fire. Some are destroyed by it. Will they find the resilience they need or will all hope be destroyed? Will the powerful Shields fall to the Tangle of Ruin?

But both their pasts prove determined to keep them apart. As secrets Garrett Haydenshire longs to keep hidden are revealed, he must rectify who he was and who he will become.

He tries to reassure her in this overwhelming Tangle of Trust.

The legends say that for every Shield there is a fated mate. The one the Shield will stop at nothing to protect. The only one who can soothe the aching, restless need. The one he can bring exquisite pleasure once their energy combines. Protector. Destroyer. Playboy. Garrett Haydenshire is quite certain the legends are nothing more than childish fantasies. But the restlessness that has consumed his life threatens to finally drag him under...until he meets her. He recognizes the danger that surrounds her that she can't allow herself to see. He yearns to protect her. His body hungers to pleasure her. Suddenly, nothing is more important to Garrett than claiming this woman as his own, keeping her safe, and satisfying the need that consumes them. Can Garrett become the savior she needs or will they lose everything in these Tangle of Fates?

With unparalleled accuracy, Dan Vindico will readily destroy anyone who threatens his wife. He will stop at nothing to protect his daughters. To say he's over the top would be a significant understatement. When Fionna goes into labor, Dan's shield readies itself for the responsibility, but his focus on his investigation at Venton Academy weakens. When the cat is away...old enemies resurface, and Dan must learn to rely on other Shields to survive. As the labyrinth of chaos continues to unfold, the only way for him to ensure the safety of his girls is to do the one thing he never wanted to do-take them all back home. Can he sustain his nerve and finally unravel this Tangle of Desire?

Worthless. Undeserving. Hacker. Those lies have haunted Jeff Strenton since he first learned of his parentage and his powers. Falling in love with one of the governor's daughters didn't help. If he's ever going to outrun the legacy that torments him and get Becca's family to accept him, he must be accepted and trained by the most formidable Shield on the planet-Dan Vindico. Jeff negotiates a deal. Vindico can turn him into the protector he was always meant to be. In turn, Jeff will use his powers to help Dan unravel the scandals destroying the magic held deep within their alma mater. With every keystroke, Jeff seeks to bury his past so he can have the future that's just out of reach. But one misstep triggers a cascade of revenge. He must choose between protecting the only woman he's ever loved or ending the people determined to trap Jeff in the Tangle of Chaos.

Protector. Warrior. Shield. That is who Dan Vindico has always been-would always be. Until he wasn't. He seeks redemption. Robbed of his station and his command, he'll serve his penitence by teaching other Shields not to make his mistakes. But repentance never comes without a sacrifice. Dan is ordered back to his alma mater and finds it embroiled in scandal, an unraveling mystery he can't seem to solve. This time his father is on the line unless Dan can protect his family from everything that threatens to destroy them. Empath. Oracle. Savior. Fionna Vindico is the most powerful of the Empathic Receivers. She wields her wisdom like a sword and her understanding a spear. She must protect her daughters. She must protect Dan.
