Three years after his wife's death, he meets the man destined to be his fated mate.

Tarinn
Three years ago, Tarinn's mate sacrificed her life to save their pack. Now, Tarinn raises his daughter as a single father and would risk his life to keep her safe and protect the pack. When a series of grisly murders threatens Great Wolf Valley, his alpha tasks him with finding the killer at any cost. Tarinn presses forward despite being forced to partner with the lethal Department of Paranormal Safety—a department known to make shifters like him... disappear.

Cutler
Soon after Cutler came out as a child, his parents divorced, but the separation did nothing to abate the continuing animosity between his father and mother. At eighteen, Cutler escaped the domestic conflict by joining the Department of Paranormal Safety, where he discovered a new vocation, safe from familial strife. Now, as their best agent, he will do anything to preserve the career that rescued him from the trauma of his childhood. As Tarinn and Cutler's ambitions collide, so do their passions.

They agree to work side by side to locate the killer but find they are entirely unprepared for the dangers exposed by the truth behind the slaughters. Giving in to their love can lead to their survival, but their fears and ambitions won't allow them to yield so easily, sending them careening down a tragic road that will end in their destruction.

 He loves a man who witnessed the fall of Babylon and appears to have all the answers. Can love endure when your fated mate challenges your efforts to save the world?

Luc
Luc knows Tye is his fated mate, but he hasn't spent time with Tye in the three months since they met. To remedy the situation, Luc volunteers to command a hunt, with Tye's help, for a means to kill Eir'lat, their fae enemy. But Luc is no leader and fears he's destined to fail when he's commanded to keep the artifact they seek from his fated mate's hands.

Tye
For centuries Tye has kept the world at a careful distance. How is it, then, a young wolf shifter can shatter his mask with a shy smile? His intellect urges caution, but Tye wants nothing more than to give in to his heart. Ignoring his better judgment, he agrees to partner with Luc in search of an artifact capable of defeating Eir'lat. Tye has endured every mistake humankind has made and will do anything to avoid them, even take control of the artifact for himself.

Hunting together, their opposing ambitions collide, generating suspicion even as they fall in love. The couple follows a trail of clues to a final confrontation, which promises to be deadly unless they can overcome their growing mutual mistrust.

 

 

His wolf fights him for permanent control of their body. His fated mate is a vampire addicted to magical blood. If their issues don't kill them, the creature they are hunting will.

Chase
Chase and his wolf form are no longer united. His wolf, now a monster, desires revenge against Eir, the fae responsible for their deformation. To make matters worse, his beast demands control of their body to achieve vengeance.

Remy
Remy's shield against the world is the self-control he's achieved over a thousand years of undeath. His growing addiction to power-filled blood threatens those defenses. The blood of his fated mate, filled with magic, may be too tempting for even an ancient vampire to resist

For a chance to balance with his beast, Chase must kill Eir himself, but he risks losing himself, and his love, in the struggle. Remy is determined to help Chase achieve his goal, but the power in Chase's veins calls to him. To overcome their enemy, they must confront the truth of their weaknesses; to ignore them risks death.

 His enemy is also his fated mate

Sirus
Sirus's primary goal is to keep his pack safe. Unfortunately, even his exceptional might couldn't protect him from a broken heart as a young shifter. Now, he remains steadfast in his vow to stay free of romantic entanglements. When a human threatens to reveal his pack's magically concealed valley, Sirus heads to the city to learn more about the humans he doesn't trust.

Aidan
Aidan Millstone is the son of a billionaire, but his sheltered upbringing has left him ignorant of the wider world. Aidan stubbornly resists the course his father set for his life, knowing his true destiny awaits him. He simply must discover it. When Aidan encounters his first shifter, he realizes his future may take a path very different from anything he ever imagined.

As their love grows, Aidan and Sirus uncover their ancestor's intertwined histories, revealing hidden enemies which drive pack and family toward open battle. If Sirus and Aidan can't find a way off the path to war, their growing love will be the first victim, but not the last.

 

 His fated mate refuses to take sides in a war for survival.

Cade
For Cade, loyalty is black and white; if you’re not with him, you’re against him. Cade found no support in Great Wolf Valley, so he left and found a new family in New Kings City. He’s determined to protect them from the human thugs waging war to eradicate them. But war is expensive. When he learns of a priceless gem, Cade attempts to recover it. However, a handsome shifter challenges him for possession.

Pierce
Pierce wants to regain the family he lost when he was sixteen. To achieve his dream, he’s become a mercenary for hire, willing to take any side in the war plaguing New Kings City. The expensive ruby he obtains in a raid offers an answer to his prayers even as it introduces him to a striking and dangerous shifter.

Cade and Pierce each require the gem to achieve their dreams even as they desire each other. If they can’t find a mutually agreeable solution, their love will never survive. Matters grow even more complicated when the humans take an unhealthy interest in the gem and prove they are more than willing to kill Cade and Pierce to obtain it.

 

 The man he is destined to love doesn't believe in fated mates.

Grayson
As a teen, Grayson was institutionalized when dark thoughts overwhelmed his mind. A decade later, he breaks free of the madness and dares to dream of an average life. A stranger liberates him only to deliver him into new captivity. To make matters worse, the shadows of insanity return, gnawing at the edge of his mind.

Micah
Micah is a world-famous actor who did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Now a weretiger, he chooses to remain single because he knows he's too far down the path of evil to be loved. While his pack prepares for a massive war, his alpha orders him to free a blind shifter destined to play a pivotal role in the conflict.

For his cooperation in the war, Grayson's captors offer him the means to retain his sanity and an opportunity to explore his love for Micah. When Micah learns the truth of their offer, it's clear Grayson's cooperation would result in death well beyond the scope of a simple war. As their passion for each other grows, a choice faces them: surrender their love by freeing Grayson from the pack's captivity or comply with them and allow the evil plan to come to fruition.

 All his life, Jonah’s been warned about wolves.

The last of a dying species, hiding amongst the humans, Jonah accepts his lonely life, knowing one day he’ll lose himself in the call of the sea. And then a pack of werewolves moves in next door. Wolves are dangerous, cunning, and vicious. He knows he has to chase them off before they discover the truth about what he is. But he hadn’t counted on Nate, their ruggedly handsome alpha. No one warned him wolves could be so… captivating.

As the lone alpha left, he’s their only chance of survival.

After an attack leaves his pack on the run, it’s up to Nate to lead them to safety. He brings them to the one place they won’t be followed, a place wolves don’t dare go. At first, the Cove seems like a haven and stories of monsters lurking in the shadows sound far-fetched. Jonah, the local vet, and their new neighbor, is just the sort of distraction Nate needs. When danger closes in on all sides, Nate must do what he can to keep his pack, and his new favorite human, safe from harm. But is Jonah all he appears to be?

The truth will tear them apart.

When Nate turns up at his door with an injured wolf cub in his arms, Jonah doesn't have the heart to turn him away. He knows he's playing with fire, letting himself be drawn further into the shifter's dangerous world, risking discovery with every word, every kiss. Self-preservation be damned.

 Harlan turned his back on the siren world a long time ago.

Resigned to living an ordinary life, Harlan settles in the human world. And then his new assistant arrives. Smart, efficient, gorgeous… and a werewolf. Keeping Sam on is a risk Harlan can’t take. If he discovers what Harlan is, they’ll be in for a world of trouble.

Sam always wanted a knight in shining armor but he has a secret that can’t be told.

As an omega, Sam learned long ago not to draw attention to himself, but even that doesn’t save him when he catches the eye of the Alpha Prime. Knowing he has to keep the truth about his origins secret, he runs from the mating his pack has planned for him. He enjoys the chance to finally be himself, especially when that means flirting with his handsome boss, Harlan. Until his pack tracks him down, with deadly consequences.

Harlan’s armor does shine… but only when wet.

Harlan knows he should leave the business of wolves to the wolves but he can’t stand by and watch them drag Sam away. But now that Sam knows he isn’t human, Harlan has only one option: to bring Sam home, to the Cove.

The truth will bring them together.

Sam finds himself thrown into a new pack, his secret on the verge of being discovered. If they figure out the truth, he’s certain they’ll kill him. But then, these aren’t ordinary wolves and the Cove is no ordinary place. And Harlan, well, Sam just can’t take his eyes off him.

 The sea is the only home Aden has ever known.

Aden’s heart was encased in ice when he gave in to the call of the ocean. Weak from sickness, he’s caught in a net and dragged from the water by people who are more than human. Bad wolves. All except one.

There’s a trick to hiding in plain sight: don’t get noticed.

Jeremy has lived among the packs for months, passing information on to his exiled pack to keep them safe. And then the Alpha Prime captures a siren. Jeremy can’t leave Aden in his hands, knowing the lengths he’s willing to go to in order to get what he wants. But there’s nothing simple about saving this siren.

Not every wolf is bad.

Aden doesn’t know if he can trust Jeremy, the wolf who steals him away. Forced into hiding and trapped in close quarters, fear gives way to fascination and a craving for connection, for contact, for warmth to thaw his frozen heart. Aden might be running out of time but he hadn’t counted on Jeremy’s determination to save him.

Can Jeremy compete with the call of the sea?

Jeremy won’t give up on Aden. The siren is nothing like what he expected: he's stubborn, brave, and curious about Jeremy and the world he’s found himself in. Even knowing the sea is calling Aden home, Jeremy doesn’t want to let him go.

 Cade had always planned to run but not like this.

Pregnant and on the run from the Alpha Prime, Cade’s car is forced off the road and into the ocean. As he sinks down into the dark, his fate certain, he sees a glimmer in the distance and a creature of myth and legend appears before him. Rescue is at hand.

Theo tried to turn his back on being a siren but it’s just who he is.

Struggling with his disconnection from the siren world, Theo heads to the Cove, arriving just in time to save a pregnant omega from a sinking car. Just when he thinks things can’t get crazier, he delivers Cade’s baby on the beach, forming a bond that has lasting ripples across their three lives.

His heart wasn’t ready to love again.

Cade had hoped the Cove would be a place of refuge for him and his son, but when danger follows him, he turns to Theo, his siren savior. He and Theo grow close as they hide out from Magnar, bonding over his cub and their restless souls. When Magnar catches their scent again, they’re forced to leave everything, even the Cove, behind.

Theo never thought he’d have anyone to share this with.

On the road once more, they wind up on the adventure of a lifetime, seeking out the truth of the sirens’ origins, the depths of their own feelings, and the answers to saving their future.

 

 Rafael is about to betray his oldest friends.

Traveling to the Cove under the guise of friendship, Rafe is there for one reason and one reason only— to steal a siren. Drawn to Skye from the moment their eyes meet, he finds himself torn, but there are no good choices here.

You're supposed to run away from a predator not toward them.

Raised among humans, Skye isn’t a typical siren. He comes to the Cove to see Aden, but he stays because of Rafael. When he feels the wolf’s eyes on him, he knows he’s being hunted. But in Rafe’s gaze, he sees something more.

Stealing Skye is the lesser of two evils.

With his pack at Magnar's mercy, Rafe has no choice but to do the unthinkable. The siren makes it all too easy, leaving Rafe to war with his own feelings, his guilt, and the unearned trust he sees in Skye’s eyes.

“You always have a choice.”

Skye should have known better than to put his curiosity above his own safety, especially when it comes to Rafe. But with their very existence at stake, Rafe is their best chance of survival. The alpha is deeply troubled, and Skye wants — he needs — to help. Even if it means throwing himself headlong into the path of danger and into Rafael’s arms.

 Mercenaries. Outcasts. Alphas.

Knox knows all the five of them have left now is each other. That, and the driving desire to find who had slaughtered their pack and make that person pay.

But investigating a tragedy with only rubble as evidence requires money and time. Knox can find one and use it to buy the other. They may be the last remaining members of a once thriving pack, but they are no strangers to taking the types of jobs that would keep lesser men awake at night.

Finding and returning some young punk to his rich, asshole father shouldn’t be all that difficult.

Jazz Whitten lives as he likes, always. Since leaving home when he was young, he’s operated under a single rule, never stay where you aren’t wanted. Using his unique ability and the sleight of hand he’s perfected over the years, life as a fugitive isn’t that bad. It’s lonely at times, but freedom is more important than companionship.

But when Jazz comes head to head with the latest team hired by his father, he forgets his own rule. He knows it is money, not affection that keeps the team on his tail. Their leader, Knox, is merciless and focused, but there’s something else about the man. It isn’t his kindness—Knox is a brute and unfortunately for Jazz, he’s smart too—but Knox radiates a type of pain that Jazz is all too familiar with.

Jazz is as slippery as he is sexy and it takes every trick Knox has to catch up with him. But when he does, how will the stone-cold mercenary ever give him up?

 

Warriors. Outsiders. Alphas.

It all started with a mouse and a note. After that, Faust kept receiving strange messages delivered by forest animals. He’s no cartoon princess and this sh*t is weird but not life-threatening. He ignores it until he receives a flurry of notes all with the same message, help me, and there is no way Faust can ignore the odd messages any longer.

Storri was locked in a tower over five years ago, trapped there by a man he trusted. The man claims to be protecting Storri from himself and others, but Storri never had any enemies—only a teacher he thought had been a friend. Storri's ability to communicate with animals helped him stay sane in isolation, but after so long alone, hope has faded.

Rescuing his prince is only half the challenge. Faust and his pack already have a mystery, and they’ve never been closer to finding out who destroyed their family and why. But with knowledge, comes danger and the man who took Storri isn’t the only one willing to do anything to get their hands on him.

 

 Guardians. Brothers. Alphas.

Affectionately referred to as, the twins, Jagger and Huntley aren’t related, but that’s the only thing the two alphas don’t have in common. Eerily identical, if it weren’t for the scar Jagger earned saving Huntley’s life as children, no one would be able to tell them apart. Together, there isn’t a challenge they won’t face. Breaking into a hellish laboratory where enemy scientists are conducting gruesome experiments is no different. Their mission is clear, save who they can and burn the rest, but when they come upon a locked door behind a barricade that looks months old, they know that whatever is inside, isn’t like anything they’ve faced yet.

Ripped from his mother’s arms and thrown into a cell as a child, Sitka hasn’t seen a living person in years. He sees their footsteps under the door when they slide in his food, but no one has dared face the crazed nephilim who can hop shadows—not after what he did to the last two who entered his cell. Still, his life is far from peaceful. Sitka can’t stop seeing dead people. They scream at him without rest, their voices angry and loud enough to make living a normal life impossible—even if he hadn’t spent most of it locked away. When the room to his door randomly bursts open, Sitka assumes the two men are there to finally kill him.

Huntley and Jagger knew something unusual was behind that door, but they didn’t expect their mate. He swings at them like a wrecking ball, making them realize what they had was just one half of the equation. Sitka completes them, but Sitka’s own angelic power is his worst enemy.

When strange things start to happen around the hotel, no one wants to blame the flighty nephilim who can jump shadows and talk to ghosts, but the list of suspects is short. And Sitka wasn’t the only victim rescued from the labs. As the reclusive wolf pack learns how to live with growing numbers, they can’t forget the danger looming over all their heads. A powerful force wants them all dead.

 

 Heartbroken. Betrayed. Alpha.

Diesel didn’t only lose his pack in the hellfire explosion that turned the people he loved into ash, he lost his future omega as well. The only human among them, Quinlan had joined their pack as a child and through the years Diesel was his constant companion, protector, and best friend. Because of the difference in their ages, Diesel insisted they waited until Quinlan was a little older, until the gap between their years didn’t matter quite so much before he claimed Quinlan truly.

He never got the chance.

Now, Diesel has watched his pack mates find their omegas knowing he’ll never have what his brothers have. He’ll never hold his omega, never kiss or tease him just to see the blush color his cheeks. He had his treasure, and failed to protect him. Quinlan was everything that was good in the world and trying to live without him is like trying to live without a heart. But Diesel is still an alpha, still partly responsible for the fragile—yet flourishing—pack that has assembled around them, despite the alpha team’s best efforts to cling to the past and care only about revenge.

When an old face becomes a new enemy, Diesel and his alpha team are once again racing to save everything they hold dear. Betrayed by someone they’d once called leader, the Royal Paynes pack has never been in more danger. Portal wants nephilim blood to open a gate to hell and there won’t be puppies and kittens waiting on the other side. Before the pack can figure out how to hold hell back, the alphas must deal with the traitor once and for all—and face the terrifying weapon he possesses. A weapon that has the power to change everything.

Good vs. evil. Heaven vs. hell. Diesel already failed to save his pack once, and now, he’s expected to save the world?

 

 Inescapable. Irresistible. Demon.

Demon king—and all-around perfect specimen—Claus, is in the human world for one thing: to enjoy all the pleasures and delights that it offers. He’ll have to return to his kingdom in hell eventually, but nothing will stop him from making a few memories to keep him warm at night. When he spots Jake at a party, he knows he’s found just the man for the job.

Sheriff Jake is a straight man who lives a quiet existence. Nothing much happens in his small town, that is until Claus rolls in, larger than life and with an arrogance to match. He’s the type of man who thinks he can just point at what he wants—no matter the obstacles. Or the fact that, you know, Jake isn’t gay.

What others would call conceit, Claus calls confidence. He’s never wanted anything like he wants Jake and he’d bet his horns that Jake wants him back. The human just needs to realize how good Claus can make him feel.

But when a rival demon king attacks, Claus realizes his attentions have put Jake in danger. Claus’s enemies are more than willing to hurt Jake if it means hurting him and Claus will need to coax his human into his arms if he has any chance of protecting him.

 Riley is in hiding. He always knew his curse would get him in trouble, and now it has driven him to a gloomy island, hours away from Seattle. At least he gets to keep his job in social work and sure, Walker County is a little isolated, and the wealthy recluses who live on the other side of the bay are odd, but he’s lucky just to still be alive.

...to know the truth.

Branson Walker left his pack family ten years ago along with his three cousins. At eighteen, their families demanded the four young men fight to the death to decide who would become the pack’s next leader. The cousins refused and have made a good life for themselves, despite the schemes concocted by their manipulative families constantly trying to drag them back. The four Walker men want nothing to do with pack life, its rules or the blind loyalty it requires.

When Branson meets Riley on a call, he realizes immediately there is something different about the human. After a first date that turns into a first morning, Branson knows he must face his family—if only to ensure Riley’s protection. But when something happens, something none of them could have possibly expected, he knows talking won’t keep Riley safe, he must claim his human, and with his cousins’ help, become the pack they were always meant to be.

 

 

 

 Nash Walker is a simple wolf. His days are spent at the firehouse and he never has trouble finding someone to fill his nights. He isn’t ashamed to admit he has an amazing body and though his cousins tease him for his hero complex, he does save lives. He’s a popular guy on the isolated island he calls home and certainly doesn’t need to be around anyone who isn’t thrilled to be in his presence.

Until he meets Phineas.

Phineas is a nerd through and through. Not just a nerd, but as far as Nash is concerned, an angry one. All of the traits that normally make men fall at Nash’s feet have no effect on Phineas, and though his head tells him there are plenty of fish in the sea, Nash’s wolf only wants him. There’s a sadness in Phineas that calls to Nash.

Phineas is used to being invisible. No one cares when he walks into a room and he prefers it that way. People in his life have a habit of getting hurt so he lives alone. All his friends are online where they can be safe from his curse. His touch heals, but not without making sure a price is paid. But when Phineas has a problem he asks Nash—the insanely gorgeous fireman who is everywhere Phineas turns—for help. He might as well learn what he can before Nash comes to his senses.

Meanwhile, a serial arsonist is targeting buildings in Walker County, particularly on pack lands. As much as Nash hates the idea of helping the wolf pack that he once called his, he must do his job. When the danger spills to the other side of the island, particularly at his human’s door, Nash knows he must find the culprit or he might not ever have a chance to truly claim his mate.

 

 

 

 

The playboy of the Walker men meets his match.

Wyatt Walker won't fall victim to the same spell that ensnared his twin brother and cousin. Whatever force compelled both men to become whipped by their mates, Wyatt wants nothing to do with. He has his hands full with his bar, and their ever-growing wolf pack. Besides, someone needed to stay available to the single population of Walker County.

When he meets Kansas, a customer just passing through, it's Wyatt's job, his duty, to show Kansas a good time for the night—or a few hours. Then Wyatt wakes up in a daze, his bar has been robbed, and Kansas is gone.

Energy vampire, best friends with a cat, is it any surprise he's on the run?

Kansas, hasn't regretted his way of life in a long time. He's also never used his mysterious powers to take from someone quite as alluring as Wyatt Walker. But Kansas operates under a strict set of morals. He never takes from a person who can't afford to lose a little and he never dips in the same well twice. That Kansas even considers returning to Wyatt's bar proves how dangerous he is. There was something different about that man, a fact that only proves true when Wyatt becomes the first person to ever catch him.

And now, he's demanding that Kansas pays up.

Wyatt's got everything under control. He'll handle the cunning thief and his demented cat, without developing the F word—feelings. He'll handle the elders' latest attack. Those cowards couldn't intimidate Wyatt's family so now they were using pack politics to attempt to control them.

When a horrible crime rocks the Walker County wolf pack, all eyes look to Wyatt, the last man to fight with the elders. More importantly, that F word went and became a whole heck of a lot more and Wyatt will have to figure out not only how to keep his family's freedom, but how to keep his mate. Stubborn determination didn't work. He's gonna need faith.

 

 

 

 

 Lurking beneath the surface, a monster waits. Possessive. Dominating. Alpha.

Aver Walker isn’t one to make waves. He’s steady, calm and sensible. He and his cousins have carved out a good life for themselves and things around the Walker house are finally starting to look like normal. Their version of normal, anyway.
And Aver couldn’t be more miserable. He’s been living a lie, hiding his sexuality and his nature. No one realizes his rational demeanor is a facade and it’s getting harder to hide the dominating beast lurking beneath his skin. The only time he can be himself is when he leaves his home. At the end of each trip, he has to tuck his true identity away. The task was never easy, but he always managed, until he met the man who made him want to be just who he was for every moment possible.

Self-professed guardian gayngel, he helps those who need his help, too bad he needs it the most.

Hollister Addams never recovered from losing his family in a tragic childhood accident. He hasn’t survived as long as he has without hope and a whole lot of luck. Now, he does what he can to help those around him. His job as a waiter in Seattle’s hottest gay club brings him up close and personal with some of the city’s most vulnerable. He’s helped by his gift of reading people’s emotions, but his true superpower is far more difficult to explain. When Hollister spots Aver, he doesn’t need his powers to know the man needs help, but not because Aver is powerless. He’s tortured.

Every time Aver returns home, he lets go of a life he’ll never get to live. But after a weekend with Hollister, Aver refuses to shove the memories, or the man, behind him. Hollister makes him feel like he could have everything he wants, his life in the pack and his man by his side. But, as things once again begin to heat up on pack lands, Aver is split by the two sides of his life. The pack needs a leader—once and for all—and the Walker house sits in conflict. Without their matriarch, they are flying blinder than usual and the decisions they make now will change everything.

MISMATCHED MATES SERIES 

 

 Cursed, mated, and in for the fight of their lives…

Warlock Nate Hawthorne just wants a cup of coffee. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Because instead of precious caffeine, all he gets is cursed by a pack of werewolves who want to use him for his magic. Now the only way to fix the damage is a mate bond to a grumpy and oh-so-sexy alpha in the rival pack, who happens to hate him. This is so not how he wanted to start his day.

Ian Armitage never intended to take Nate as his mate. The Hawthorne family can’t be trusted. Ian knows that better than anyone. The fact that he’s lusted after the way-too-gorgeous man for years? Totally irrelevant. Ian’s just doing what is necessary to protect his pack. This whole mating arrangement has nothing to do with love and never will. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.

Nate and Ian will have to work together if they have any hope of staving off the pack’s enemies and averting disaster. That’s assuming they can stop arguing (and keep their hands off each other) long enough to save the day…

 

 

Captured, imprisoned, and…falling in love?

Arik is many things. Shaman, necromancer, a little on the snarky side…no one could ever accuse him of being boring. But one thing he never intended to be was imprisoned by angry werewolves. Maybe casting that love spell on the sexy alpha pack leader wasn’t such a great idea after all.

Matthew Armitage has a problem. Several of them, actually. And the biggest one is Arik. The shaman can’t be trusted. He’s dangerous enough to get the entire pack killed. Matthew knows that. But knowing doesn’t make it any easier to keep his mind (and hands) off Arik. Surely everything he’s feeling is a side effect of the spell…right?

It’s not long before enemies of the pack start circling—including one intent on claiming Arik as his unwilling mate. If they have any hope of surviving, Arik and Matthew will need to work together. And if they want a shot at happily ever after…well, they’ll just have to cross that bridge when they get to it.

If they get to it… 

 

 ’Tis the season…for zombies?

It’s two days before Christmas, and the Armitage pack’s getting ready for the holiday. Nate’s decorating the driveway with dozens of light-up candy canes (well, bullying Ian into doing it for him, but details). Matthew’s sitting through yet another endless pack council meeting.

And Arik’s raising revenants in the herb garden.

When a plague of zombies and an infestation of in-laws hits on Christmas Eve, Nate, Ian, Arik and Matthew will need to pick up their machetes, put some Bing Crosby on the record player, and overcome their relationship issues if they want to make it to Christmas morning.

 

Blood is a necessity, but love is a luxury they can't afford...

Vampire enforcer Victor Schmidt doesn’t have time for distraction. His enhanced senses can track human blood in or out of a body, but it doesn’t usually smell like oranges, honey, and temptation. And it’s not usually coursing through the veins of a beautiful back-alley rentboy. That should make it easier, right? Pay, bite and be on his way.

While prostitution isn’t Laurie’s dream job, someone has to take care of his sister and her kids. But being a blood donor to a tall, dark and brooding vamp isn’t part of his career plan. Until he agrees…and it’s far more pleasurable than he could have imagined.

Nurturing isn't in Victor’s wheelhouse, yet he finds himself tucking the all-too-tempting boy into bed. And feeling things he shouldn’t be. When Laurie's attacked, it's almost a relief: breaking necks is way more Victor’s style and he’s all-too-happy to kill. But Laurie being kidnapped wasn't part of anyone’s plan.

Now Victor's determined to save Laurie at any cost. Can he bring them both out alive, or will they die before they’ve even shared their first kiss?

Studying shifter genetics takes brains, patience…and sometimes simulating mating rituals with your alpha-werewolf bestie. You know, for science…

Brilliant geneticist Newton McEwen, the only human in a family of werewolves, has devoted his life to researching the scientific key to shifter magic. Now he’s being blackmailed and his life’s work is threatened if he can’t produce results.

Alpha werewolf Colin Kimball is a newly-minted pack leader with a mountain of responsibilities, but when his lifelong best friend tells him he needs help, Colin drops everything to run to his aid. But Newt’s not just looking for a brawny bodyguard to watch his back—he needs help with an experiment, one he can’t carry out alone.

Out of academically approved methods, and desperate to accelerate his research, Newt’s trying a last-ditch approach, with himself as the test subject. And the very alpha Colin as the catalyst.

Determined to succeed, Newt’s willing to get up close and personal with Colin as many times as it takes. Only feelings weren’t a variable logic-minded Newt took into account. Now not only is Newt’s career on the line, his most important relationship is at stake. Can they outwit Newt’s blackmailer and move on from their experimentation…or will they lose the friendship that means everything to them?

Kidnapped, imprisoned, and experimented on for two years, Jared Armitage has lost the will to live. When his captors give him to another prisoner, one who can and probably will take Jared’s life, he comes face to face with the most terrifying thing of all: hope.

Calder’s warlock captors meant to turn him into a monster, and they nearly succeeded. Starved, desperate, and filled with rage, Calder hasn’t cared about anyone in years. Until Jared. Together they have a chance at escape and Calder has someone to fight and kill for. To cherish. Someone he doesn’t want to hurt.

Life after captivity isn’t easy. Jared never wanted a mate like Calder, but he craves Calder’s intense attention, his ability to take Jared apart…and then put him back together again. Even if their mate bond is only temporary.

But Calder’s made a promise—one he’ll die before he breaks—never to hurt Jared or let him be hurt. Unexpected enemies are lurking, targeting Jared, Calder’s one weakness. Their intense bond—and maybe even love—are worth everything, and they're both willing to fight for it…or die trying.

 WILD MAGIC SERIES

  Book One:

Magic. Without it, Knox’s pack will die. The only way to get it? Steal it. Steal him. A wolf mage.

The slow decay of magic is destroying Samhain Pack bit by bit. Down to their last ailing mage, Knox snatches a mage from a rival pack. Better to be a pack with enemies than a dead pack. But when Lorcan is foisted upon him, Knox refuses to take the mage as a mate. Until their alpha leader drags up an old pack law to punish the wayward mage, and Knox finds it isn’t so easy to walk away.

Being a wolf mage is a curse. It’s taken everything from Lorcan—his family, his home, and his magic. Now he’s been taken by another pack, with a whole new set of rules. He has no intention of sticking around, especially when they plan to bond him to one of their alphas. Running from wolves comes naturally to him, only Knox proves hard to run from.

 

                                                            Book Two:

   A wolf mage. That’s all Brody ever wanted to be. Too bad no alpha will keep him, not now.

When their pack’s boundary is breached, Gage braces for an attack. Instead, he finds an injured mage being hunted by a familiar enemy. And when that mage turns out to be a seer—a rare, valuable talent—Gage hopes his pack’s luck is finally turning around. But Brody is injured, his magic so damaged that Gage can’t see how he’ll ever become part of a pack.

Hurt, alone, and so, so lost, Brody is drawn to Gage and the safety of his pack. The alpha is his only hope of finding a way to heal his magic. As they grow closer, Brody wants to be more than just a burden to the alpha. But Gage has no need of a broken mage, and Brody fears that’s all he’ll ever be.

When the pack’s enemies move against them, Gage is left with the choice no alpha wants to face—protect his pack or save his mage.                                                    

                                                           Book Three:

 The love between an alpha and a mage is not easily forgotten. Even if one is a headstrong wolf and the other an untrustworthy sorcerer.

Five years after he walked out of Declan’s life, Jasper returns to Samhain Pack begging for help. Declan doesn’t believe a word of the tale his ex is spinning. He wants Jasper gone from the pack before he brings trouble down on them. His head is telling him Jasper can’t be trusted, but his heart has never quite let go of his love for the mage. Is he willing to risk everything for Jasper?

For five long years, Jasper has destroyed pack after pack at his family’s behest. He bonds with an alpha, blinds them to the truth, and strikes at the heart of their pack. But Samhain isn’t just any pack, and Declan is more than just an alpha. He is Jasper’s first—and only—love. Torn between loyalty to his family and following his heart, who is he going to choose?

                                                           Book Four:

 When is a wolf not just a wolf? When he has magic running through his veins.

Fleeing Samhain Pack to protect them from his berserker nature, Barrett is alone in the wilds—and lost to himself. Until he tracks a most interesting prey and finds himself face to face with a mage. But Evan is not just a mage, he’s something their pack desperately needs—a healer.

Evan is always a healer first and a mage second, no matter how he wishes otherwise. Searching for his missing cousin, taken by sorcerers, he’s lost and running out of hope. And then he meets a feral wolf who is far more than he seems. Others would run from a berserker, but Evan has never been one to run from trouble.

Barrett’s elation at bringing a healer home to his pack is dashed when he learns what Evan demands in exchange for helping them. Can he confront his greatest fear—his own wolf? And will the bond of a mage help him do it and maybe even lead to something more?

 

                                                          Book Five:

 As the last unmated alpha in his pack, all Ronan wants is a mage and a bond... but be careful what you wish for.

With no wolf mage and no magic, Ronan knows he’s holding Samhain back. When he wakes up in the forest with a mage, a bond, and no memory of what happened, it seems he’s been given everything he wanted—so he knows it’s too good to be true. The bond he longed for might just be the thing that destroys his pack.

Alone in the world, Maddox’s only goal is to track down his brother. But when the trail leads him to some powerful sorcerers, he finds himself bonded to an alpha and beholden to a pack. He can’t hide what he is forever, or what he’s not. But first things first—he has to find a way to break the bond and free himself from Ronan before the pack decides he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

Bonded to a mage he can’t trust, and with his pack turning their backs on him, Ronan is out of options. So when Maddox offers a chance to free them from their bond, he decides it’s worth the risk. Together, they’ll work to break the unbreakable magic binding them—but can they stop their hearts getting entangled in the process?
