Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past.

]]> 59122382 I rejected my fated mate and didn鈥檛 regret it for a second. Until now.

Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As the heir to America鈥檚 most powerful pack, my life up to now has been spent in a gilded cage. But not for the reason you might think.

I was locked away, not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment to them all. A wolf who couldn鈥檛 shift.

This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won鈥檛 leave me alone. Not when 丑别鈥檚 here. The arrogant wolf shifter who ruined my life after I turned him down seven years ago. Now, I鈥檓 a pariah, followed by the rumors my rejected mate has spread, hated by my classmates, isolated again.

From everyone but them.
A vampire prince.
A forbidden priest.
A powerful demigod.
A bully wolf.

I鈥檓 playing a dangerous game, and the rules say I can鈥檛 be with them. Then again, rules are made to be broken.

And when every moment spent with them brings me closer to finding my wolf, how can I stay away?


Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains an obsessive stalker, a foul-mouthed, inked and pierced werewolf, a naughty professor with a fondness for watching, a god of mischief, and plenty of heat. If you don鈥檛 like your books spicy, your men broody, built, and more bad than good, this is not the series for you. But if you do...read on, and welcome to The Mate Games.]]> 436 K.

For years, the monsters who killed my family have held me in a cage. Brutalized and half-starved. Only kept alive so they can steal my blood.

Until one evening when three eerily gorgeous men rescue me.

They offer a safe haven under their protection with everything I need to heal. I'm not used to this kindness鈥攐r the desires their smoldering eyes and strong hands stir in my body and my heart.

But these fearsome men aren't really men. Like my former captors, they're fae who can shift into wolves. A curse gripping the faerie realm turns them wild under the full moon.

Only the strange power coursing through my veins can cure their rage.

I'm a prize as much as a person to them. But I've survived this long without giving up. And as I recover my strength, I'm winning their hearts as well.

Can this damaged human hold her own among the savage fae?

Without the bond, we are slowly dying off. Our packs are growing smaller, weaker. Our powers are slowly diminishing.

And it鈥檚 my pack鈥檚 fault.

We caused the curse.

But I鈥檒l be the one to break it.

There鈥檚 a prophecy鈥攐ne that I know is about me. I鈥檓 destined to break the curse, to fix what my pack caused.

Before I can fulfill the prophecy, I鈥檓 attacked by my best friend, who finally gains his wolf, unlike me, who remains wolf-less. The Bloodmoon alpha rescues me. But I quickly realize when he carries me to a gathering of all the packs that this is no rescue. I鈥檓 the Bloodmoon鈥檚 offering.

Every month, the wolves gather to try to find their mates through an offering. Females from each pack are offered to the alphas in hopes that a mate is found and the curse is broken. If an alpha feels the tug of the mating bond, then they mark her as their mate.

But if you are marked by an alpha who isn鈥檛 your true mate...you die.

Suddenly, the prophecy鈥檚 murky words don鈥檛 hold much promise of me breaking the curse when death is on the line, and I have a new goal鈥攕urvive.


Marked by Moonlight is book one in a new dark wolf shifter romance series. This series includes a world of wolf shifters, vampires, witches, and magic. ]]> 304 Ella Miles Jen 2 4.02

]]> 211876720 Turns out, the most notorious Mercenary Captain in the quadrant takes offense when he finds a human stowed away in his private quarters.

Manyin

Once, I was a renowned archaeologist, then I got abducted. I鈥檓 so sick of my life being beyond my control, that when it happens again, I fight back. I escape and hide away on the first ship I can find, hoping to get far away and then plead my case so they can take me back to the human sanctuary.

I witness things I shouldn鈥檛, once I鈥檓 in the lair of the ship鈥檚 monstrous Captain. This scaly creature draws me, enrages me, covets me, and secretly provides for me. I make him glow, and that makes him mad, but I know what it means, even if he doesn鈥檛.

Asmoded

At first, the human stowaway is a nuisance I do not need when I am on a quest to avenge the death of my unborn son and wife. She makes me want and feel things I refuse to let into my life, my heart, once again.

On a mission to thwart my nemesis, I do not need her as a complication, and yet there she is. Proving herself smart, resilient, and far too brave for her own good. I don鈥檛 want her to tear down my walls, I do not want to admit that she is my mate. When danger comes knocking, fate has other ideas.

I find that for this one human, I am willing to break all my rules. I find that I might just be willing to surrender my heart.

This is a standalone novel, and book one in the Monster Mercenary Mates series. This sci-fi monster romance features one grumpy Naga spaceship captain, a plucky human archaeologist, and a steamy HEA.]]> 234 Robin O'Connor Jen 0 currently-reading 4.35

]]> 58619706 I escaped the Vraxen breeding center unharmed. Now I鈥檓 lost in the Wastelands and running from an alien who claims I鈥檓 his mate.

I hate rude awakenings, particularly when those waking me are massive blue aliens with rippling muscles, horns, and tails.

Aliens who brought me to a breeding center. On another planet.

I don鈥檛 appreciate them abducting me, and they don鈥檛 appreciate my lack of cooperation. The human women I鈥檓 with think I鈥檓 unhinged because I run my mouth around the guards. Keep my head down and hope for the best? Screw that; I鈥檓 going down fighting.

When we escape to the Wastelands, another group of aliens find us, and I have a bigger fight on my hands. Zarex. This alien is larger than the others, with black stripes and horns sharpened to points. He鈥檚 impressed by my tattoos and warrior spirit鈥攁nd Zarex has decided I belong to him.

Nope. I鈥檝e escaped once; nobody will take me again.

Running from him and the other women who escaped the center wasn鈥檛 the best move. Now I鈥檓 stuck alone in an alien wilderness with a sharp metal piece from our crashed spaceship for a weapon and basic survival skills.

I need to outrun Zarex before the creatures I hear at night find me first.

But if I manage to escape the Wastelands, where the hell do I go?

And if he finds me first, what will Zarex do to the human female 丑别鈥檚 claimed as his?

Life has sure kicked me in the teeth. After I鈥檓 arrested for stealing, I鈥檓 given two choices: prison or get shipped to the human settlement on the planet Tavikh. Since orange isn鈥檛 my color, I guess off-planet it is.

Except when our ship lands we鈥檙e attacked by vicious aliens no one warned us about. I鈥檓 suddenly rethinking my decision. Just as I swear I鈥檓 about to die, a towering alien with long, flowing golden hair and muscles rippling beneath gorgeous purple skin saves me.

When the battle is over and the good guys seem to have won, my savior tells me I鈥檓 his fated mate.

I hate to break it to him, but I don鈥檛 believe in fate.

As shefir of the Tavikhi, it鈥檚 my duty to lead our tribe and fight against the Krijese. When word comes that another Terran ship has arrived, we rush to defend them against our brutal enemies.

I鈥檓 unprepared, though, for my mating marks to burn and brighten in color when I rescue one of the human females. Is it truly possible that the goddess, Deeka, has chosen her as my keeshla鈥攎y fated mate?

Despite her continued denial of the mate bond, the attraction between us flares hotter than our sun. I must do everything to convince her that we are fated to be together. Even seduce her.

I thought starting over on this quiet farm would finally give me a chance to heal. But the moment that towering alien walks through my door, I know real trouble has found me. Zynar is all corded muscle and raw masculinity鈥攏othing like the weak men who鈥檝e used me. Worse, this alien hunk stirs feelings in me I swore were long dead. Each time his intense yellow gaze locks onto mine, my resolve weakens. I tell myself to keep my distance, that this attraction can only lead to heartbreak. But as Zynar proves himself gentle yet strong, passionate yet restrained, I start to crave the pleasure his touch promises to unlock in me once more.

Zynar

From the moment I lay eyes on the delicate creature named Eleanor, my core-beat quickens in a way I hadn鈥檛 thought possible. This fragile flower survived abduction and abuse, yet her spirit remains unbroken. I want nothing more than to make her feel safe and cherished.

An omega on her own always has to be on guard, but with her two girls counting on her to keep them safe, there's no time for a pity party. Seeing no other choice, Riley accepts an invitation to ride out the storm with one of the locals.

Little does Riley know, everything is about to change.

This book is set in the same world as the Ruined Records duet. However, Riley's story takes place four years in the future. There are a few things that will likely make more sense if you read Left in Ruins and Madness first, but it was designed so you can jump in here if you prefer. There are a few crossovers, but this is an entirely new cast of characters.]]> 320 Jillian West Jen 4 4.19 2022

]]> 204212965 A dark obsession fantasy romance in a city of warring vampire clans, perfect for fans of Haunting Adeline, From Blood and Ash, and Gild.

Scarlett

I am an object of desire. My powers of seduction are my survival, my weapon, and my curse. I鈥檓 no stranger to obsession, but for the first time, I crave it. I love when he watches me, follows me, hunts me.

In the mortal lands, I was safe from him. Navigating a city of ruthless vampires to save my sister from the human slave trade was already treacherous. But with the ruling vampire lord鈥檚 unrelenting focus on me, I fear his shadows might never let me go.

Rune

I鈥檝e always watched her. But now I more than desire her; I thirst for her. She is my addiction, my soul, my Little Flame. I tried to let her go, but she found her way back to me, and I鈥檝e taken that as permission. I鈥檒l claim her in front of the whole world if that鈥檚 what it takes to protect what鈥檚 mine.

As war and upheaval threaten the city I have ruled for centuries, it is this vulnerable, tempting human who poses the biggest threat of all. I might be Scarlett鈥檚 worst nightmare, but this little seductress will be my very undoing.

Stalked by Seduction and Shadows is the first book in a dark fantasy romance duet featuring a morally gray, obsessed hero, a seductress heroine, shadow magick, vampire clans, and love written in the stars.

I fled, leaving behind the life of a captive with only the will to live and a little hope that a rescue was on the horizon.

Little did I know, three Alphas are out there, ready and willing to take me in, saving me from my haunted past and sheltering me without question. Carter, Dylan, and Asher are everything I could have dreamed of鈥� if I had dared to dream, but my life isn鈥檛 that simple. Something they understand all too well as they send me away to heal and be free for once in my life.

I have a wide future ahead of me, thanks to them and a heavy dose of therapy, but I want more than a life in the woods, secluded once again in the trees.

There鈥檚 a world waiting for me, and I don鈥檛 know if I can have both, an adventure to make up for lost time and the love of my Alphas鈥�

Kaden Black was hired to kill me.

He's a scarred ex-soldier with a list of bodies behind him and a decade-old vow of revenge. I'm the key to drawing out the man who destroyed his life 鈥� and now I'm under Kaden's ruthless protection.

Every camera he installs strips away another layer of my privacy. Every order he barks reminds me I'm trapped. But when rival assassins break in, it's Kaden's brutal efficiency that keeps me breathing.

I tell myself I hate him. That his dangerous allure doesn't drown out my survival instinct. That I don't crave the possessive glint in his eyes when he looks at me.

I'm lying.

As he spirals deeper into obsession, I realize I have a choice to make. Help Kaden hunt down the monsters from his past, or break free and save myself.

But freedom comes at a price. And it might just cost me the one man I can't bear to lose.

I didn鈥檛 intend on tricking her. I just wanted her to give me a chance, to discover who I am underneath the ink.

She can fight me all she likes because we both know that I鈥檓 exactly her type. She just doesn鈥檛 know it yet.

What happens when you wake up married to the woman you tricked into a date?

You kiss the bride and prove her wrong.

And doesn鈥檛 believe in love

Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire is my complete opposite.
He hates chocolate. I鈥檓 a size sixteen dessert chef.
He only wears black. I love glitter and pink.
He鈥檚 grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life.
Too bad his piercing blue eyes, and high cheekbones haunt my dreams.

When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery.
I have no choice but to agree.
Except he has conditions:

I must pretend to be his wife for a year
I must fake my feelings for him so his family believes our relationship.
I must stay by his side for the duration of our arrangement so he can claim his inheritance.

I don鈥檛 even like the man, surely I can get through this charade without developing feelings for him?
Except living in close proximity with him, our chemistry escalates
I know I am falling for the wrong man.
For when I tell him: 鈥淚 love you,鈥� he growls: 鈥淟ove was never part of the equation...鈥�

This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, one-bed, marriage of convenience, and a best friend鈥檚 brother, billionaire romance with a plus size FMC. It is a complete standalone.]]> 360 L. Steele Jen 0 3.49 2024

It all started when I was six years old.
I was homeless.
They were held prisoner.

I saved them. Even though it put me in the system.
They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma.
These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world.

As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn鈥檛.
These boys鈥搈en鈥揾ad too much anger. Too much hate.

They wanted to burn down anything and everyone who had wronged them.
It was eating them up inside. I tried to warn them.
Instead of listening to me, they were set on destroying themselves.

The nobody.

Their savior.

I鈥檇 always idolized them growing up, but since they forced me back, I see them for who they are.

My four beautiful, angry boys grew into stubborn, selfish men. Men who take what they want with no regard for anyone or anything. Except maybe me.

But I won鈥檛 let my feelings blind me. All four men are masters of manipulation and so incredibly toxic. Despite it all, I want them too.

Burned bridges and buried bodies litter the roads they鈥檝e traveled, and the crimes they鈥檝e committed are threatening to unravel the life they鈥檝e built.

They鈥檝e made enemies in a world I want no part of.

This time, I鈥檓 going to do more than warn them.
This time, I鈥檓 doing everything different.

But can I stay and sacrifice the life I wanted for myself?

A feral omega who can't be tamed.

And I've bitten every alpha who's tried.

Before they can either put me down or send me to a breeding facility, fate intervenes in the form of a masked spec-ops team that deals in death and destruction.

The Ghosts.

Valek, the wolfish serial killer plucked from death row.

Plague, the combat medic who deals death with surgical precision.

Whiskey, the big trash-talking himbo with a short fuse.

Wraith, the mute, scarred monster with a fractured mind.

And Thane, the stone-cold leader who rules his pack of rabid attack dogs with an iron fist.

The Council that oversees the last fragments of our society has decided the only thing that can tame these savage alphas is an omega. 鈥淐ontrol the omegas, control the alphas,鈥� as their infamous saying goes.

And we're so rare, there's only one omega they're willing to risk.

Only one omega they view as disposable.

Until I presented myself to them on our mating night and all four of them turned and walked away, leaving me half-marked and completely humiliated.

I try everything I learned in omega finishing school to make my new alphas change their minds, but with my first unmedicated heat approaching fast, I'm starting to think plastic smiles, a perfectly decorated nest, and gourmet meals aren't going to be enough to thaw these frigid hearts.

]]> 215510969 Welcome to Queenie's Omegaverse, a reverse harem novel!



After years of hiding from high-society alpha packs, the last thing Ophelia expects is to scent-match with the wealthiest and most influential pack of Arrow Cove. From the wrong side of the tracks, a clumsy omega waitress working at a strip club dedicated to helping omegas hide in plain sight, Ophelia doesn't even contemplate the possibility that she and the Constantine Pack could ever make a life together.

Ignoring the pain and longing from denying her mates' existence, everything changes one night when they scent her, too. No longer able to hide from them, Ophelia's four mates will stop at nothing to convince her they can be everything she needs.

But after a lifetime of watching high-society packs treat omegas like nothing more than simpering, fragile, flighty sex bots whose only purpose in life was procreation, Ophelia doesn't see how they'll ever come to terms or thrive together; they're too different. In this case, she believes wholeheartedly that opposites do not attract, and boy, does she fight that attraction.

A thousand years of climate change, genetic testing, and war destroyed civilisation as it was.

From the remains came the age of The Trade and The Crown. In return for resources, security, and a meaningful purpose, citizens accepted a life of service to the new world.

The land became The Cradle, and humankind was henceforth known as the Cradled Common.

Young Aster is no different. If selected, she'll be the King's Silk Girl. A common human bred to adore and pleasure him, and to provide The Cradle with healthy babies for the Trade.

That is her meaningful purpose.

But the King is more monster than man. The heir of the genetically enhanced breed, he was designed to survive and rule this new world.

King Rome has a heart as black as his giant pet eagle's wings, and a singular obsession鈥攖o reign.

That stands until one day Aster puts her tiny human hand in his...

Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right?

Except there鈥檚 one guest at the hotel who鈥檚 always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes. Half his face is covered with a black mask, and his stare sets my skin on fire. I don鈥檛 know him鈥� and yet I feel known with every stolen glance.

Strange happenings are going on at the hotel, and each day, I fall deeper into a world I never knew existed. And the guest who鈥檚 watching me? He isn鈥檛 who I thought he was鈥� but then again, neither am I.]]> 244 Ella Maven Jen 0 3.85

For two years, I鈥檝e longed to flee my cage. Alphas bought me, traded me, and constantly abused me. They taught me the only good alpha is a dead alpha. Now, I'm a pregnant omega with no hope of escape until one desperate act changes everything.

It was going to be me against the world until Lucas Security hurtled into my life. I have never met three men more determined to protect me. But it鈥檚 going to take more than two delicious smelling alphas to convince me I can trust them, or a handsome beta on a mission to impress me.

Garrison, Blaine, and Vaughn have nothing I want. They seem to have a default mode set to guard me, and they drop everything to take me to doctor鈥檚 appointments. But I know better. This world has taught me to rely only on myself. Trouble is hunting me down, and if I want to survive, I might just have to put my faith in Pack Lucas.

I鈥檝e spent years learning to keep people out. So why do I keep wanting to let them in?

Forget the frog鈥擨 kissed a troll and liked it...

One minute I'm dying of thirst. The next, I'm cradled in muscular green arms.

My savior is seven feet tall, built like a god, and definitely not human. He's also looking at me like I'm his long-lost treasure.

Now I'm trapped in a hidden village of magical creatures. Where humans are public enemy number one.

I should be terrified. Instead, I'm falling hard for my forbidden prince.

Can a curvy human and a hunky troll find their happily ever after? Or will this fantasy romance go up in flames?

This is steamy sweet short-read (about 2hrs) romance suitable for 18+ readers only and features tropes of Fated Mates, Fish out of water, Curvy girl and monster pairing, Forbidden romance, Insta-love and Secret world, to name a few.

Also, to fans of our other stories, please note this is a bit of a departure. It's a bit lighter, with a little more humor. Not quite what we would call Rom-com though. We both thought it might be fun to give monster romance a whirl!]]> 92 Leela Ash Jen 1 3.99

I learned the hard way to never trust a woman. They don鈥檛 do anything but cause headaches and heartbreak. I know this from firsthand experience. To top it all off, I see a pattern with these bitches lying too. Which is why I swore to never let another woman into my life. While they might be in my bed, they'll never be in my heart. I refuse to go through it all over again. You know what they say about history repeating itself? Well, yeah, I always get the short end of the stick when it comes to lying, no good women. Call me an ass if you want but I鈥檒l never have to deal with someone like Horse's mom ever again.I had a great plan and I was doing just fine until a woman I never expect waltzes in my life.

From the first moment, I knew something was different and she came crashing through my walls, breaking down the defenses I had set in place for a reason. I don't know why the fuck I did it, but I claimed her, and now she's my property. She belongs to me. Question is, can I trust her, or will she lie and deceive me the way every other woman in my life has before her.

Eleanor Eastwick is out of tricks. This alleged wallflower is hiding a secret, beyond the fact that her family is skint broke. If she wants to ensure the survival of her aged grandmother and younger siblings, she鈥檒l need to leverage the only thing they have left 鈥� their good name 鈥� and land herself a rich husband. There鈥檚 only one problem she can see with her plan: she has no bloody idea what s丑别鈥檚 doing.

Enlisting the help of the wickedy rakish Marquis of Basingstone, Eleanor embarks on a crash course in how to attract the monstrous Gentry, high society courtship, and lessons in lovemaking . . . academically, of course. It never occurs to her that her tutor may, in fact, be a perfect match. By the time her heart begins to make her aware of its preference for the sharp-tongued, winged Marquis, the Monsters Ball is upon her and she needs to put her plan into action.

~

Lord Silas Stride, the Marquis of Basingstone, has no intention of giving away his heart. It would be cruel to chain another to the fate of a half-life such as his 鈥� only coming awake at twilight, living as a silent spectator to the daytime world. He鈥檇 not punish a wife in such a fashion; could not bear to allow his progeny to exist in a world where he resided only part of the time . . . far easier to embrace the life of a confirmed bachelor, and keep his heart as stony as the rest of him.

But Silas did not count on one Eleanor Eastwick. He recognized her the moment he saw her, seeking his disreputable counsel. She had shone like a star when he knew her years earlier, and she did once again in his study, leaving him unable to deny his assistance. He could not possibly risk his heart on a delicate flower of the daytime, but a lady who was used to a life after dark . . . Silas Stride had no intention of taking a wife, but once Eleanor has left for the Monsters Ball, he cannot help but claim his own invitation, and his bride.

With a dad who is the Head Coach for the Minnesota Sleet, it seemed like an easy decision.

My friends have also convinced me that the best way to boost my fragile self-esteem is through a one-night stand.
A dating app. A hotel bar. A sexy-as-hell man... who鈥檚 sweet, and funny, and - did I mention? sexy-as-hell鈥� I fortified my courage and invited myself up to his room.

Assumptions. There鈥檚 a rule about them.

I assumed he was passing through town. I assumed he was a businessman, or maybe an investor, or accountant, or literally anything other than a professional hockey player. I assumed I鈥檇 never see him again.

I assumed wrong.]]> 326 S.J. Tilly Jen 0 4.14

But when he presses my buttons, he presses ALL of my buttons. And I鈥檓 not the type of girl who takes things sitting down. I mean, I only got caught on my knees that one time. In the museum.

But when my decisions get one of my friends hurt鈥� I can鈥檛 stop blaming myself. And him.

I wasn鈥檛 expecting Luke.

Wasn鈥檛 expecting the hot hockey player, with the smirks and the tattoos, who kept bumping into me.

And I certainly wasn鈥檛 expecting to spend a night on the beach, under the stars, underneath him.

It was magical, but I thought it would end there.

Instead, we exchanged numbers and stayed in touch.

So when Luke invited me to watch him play in Vegas, I went.

And it was great.

Until we woke up the next morning and found the wedding certificate in my pocket.

Turns out that dance party we snuck into was actually a group wedding ceremony.

And now we鈥檙e married.

Which is bad.

Because I think our wedding was actually our first date. And if my dad finds out, he鈥檒l cut me out of the family business.

So when footage leaks of Luke and me hot and heavy in an elevator, I have to make up a new plan to save my reputation and career.

Now, all I need is for Luke Anders to act like 丑别鈥檚 madly in love with me.

Should be easy.

I should have run the other way. Paid my tab and gone back to my room. But he was there. And he was鈥� everything. I figured what鈥檚 the harm in letting passion rule my decisions for one night? So what if he looks like the Devil in a suit. I鈥檇 be leaving in the morning. Flying home, back to my pleasant but predictable life. I鈥檇 never see him again.

Except I do. In the last place I expected. And now everything I鈥檝e worked so hard for is in jeopardy.

We can鈥檛 stop what we鈥檝e started, but this is bigger than the two of us.

And when his past comes back to haunt him, love might not be enough to save me.]]> 360 S.J. Tilly Jen 0 4.38

]]> 207671899 I can鈥檛 imagine anything worse than running into my hot hockey star ex in Italy. Until a one-night-stand ups the ante with a + pregnancy test.

I expected to never see Benton Jeffries again after our messy split. A decade passes before I lay eyes on him again at a friend鈥檚 destination wedding.

He sure knows how to knock a puck in the hole. Those piercing blue eyes and chiseled jaw should be a hooking penalty.

With all willpower officially gone I let him in my hotel room after a day in Sorrento. My walls come down along with my panties.

As the sun rises, reality creeps in. I get up and book the first flight out of there.

It鈥檚 a no-go with his pro hockey career in Canada, and my life in Atlanta. But somethings gotta give when I get two pink little lines.]]> 338 Blakely Stone Jen 0 3.98

Hidden truths that refused to stay buried have come out to chase me. Now I鈥檓 on the run, living under a blanket of constant fear, pretending to be someone I鈥檓 not. And if I鈥檓 not really me, how am I supposed to know what鈥檚 real?

It was supposed to be a simple assignment. But like everything else in this family, there鈥檚 nothing simple about it. Not my task. Not her fake name. And not my feelings for her.

3 years ago, she ruined my life. Now I'm going to return the favor...

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me. Except for Lyla James Marichal. She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her. When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side. And then, without warning, she left me. Vanished. It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation. Three years ago, she ruined my life. Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare.

Auden Sinclair.

We鈥檙e stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that鈥檚 all the promise we make鈥攐ne night, then we go our separate ways.

Except she pops up again.
Then again.

Suddenly, s丑别鈥檚 everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.

The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.

This might be one battle I鈥檓 not going to win鈥�

It contains a one-night stand, a billionaire heroine, a hot hockey player, obnoxious yet loveable teammates, goofy text threads, wit, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Cane

My life's purpose was the Forever Midnight Motorcycle Club 鈥� until her.

Thea made me challenge everything I held sacred. But the club's orders were hand her back to the nightmare she was loath to call family.

My refusal risked everything I held dear, yet losing her was a price too steep to pay.

She became a battle I never saw coming. Claiming her was more than a desire, it was a necessity.

I鈥檓 no hero, but her safety is now my only mission.

S丑别鈥檚 the family I choose, the promise I intend to keep.

Thea

After my father鈥檚 death, my world spiralled into a waking nightmare, courtesy of my stepbrother Daniel.

Trapped in a life more prison than home, I had a plan to find my freedom.

I should have known better. Daniel found me. He always finds me.

But this time things are different. This time I have Cane.

He鈥檚 irresistibly dangerous and unwaveringly protective. And 丑别鈥檚 vowed to be my shield.

Can he truly free me or will my past forever dictate my future?

Omegas are desired.

Or so the Council says.

I've been suppressing my inherent Omega nature since the damn Council member delivered the news of my designation in the spring of my Senior year of high school. I had dreams. I had travel plans. One stupid packet changed all of it.
Mostly.

Four years later, I'm finally letting the Council match me with a pack. One night to determine the rest of my life. I'm skeptical until Logan makes the night fun, Carter makes it unforgettable, and Jude makes it intriguing. The Council pairing me with them is a dream come true.

But what if they don't like me when I'm finally off my suppressors and learning how to be an Omega?
What if I'm a terrible Omega?
What if they decide to back out?

We have sixty days.
By day fifteen, I can't imagine living without them.
But will they still want me even after my heat?]]> 338 Jillian Rink 1961790025 Jen 3 3.70 2023
