A part of her feels guilty for not grieving her husband’s death, but after everything Toby put her through—the years of abuse, not to mention the endless lies—she can’t bring herself to miss him. In reality, the only thing thing she owes him is a huge thank you for bringing her to Heartsridge, somewhere she’d like to call home.

They’re all dealing with the same issue, and she figures that having others to share their experiences with is the best thing they’ll get. It’s all she expected to have, until Hector walked into her life and stole her heart.

But just as their relationship begins to take off, they hit a patch of unexpected turbulence. A fire at the Cadian shifter embassy in Cloud Lake has left Hector in a world of trouble that threatens to engulf Rachel with it. The circumstances behind it are sketchy and coincidental as all hell, but why would anyone be out to harm him? Things only get worse when an order comes down recalling him to Cadia. Permanently. Can he find a way to fix his situation, or will fate rip their bond apart before they realize it’s there?

Maybe I was the girl Clara didn’t want me to be. Here I was, with the goblin king, and I didn’t want him to stop.

For the past ten years, the Goblin King has stayed locked away in his caverns. He only opens his doors for one purpose: he will give one gold coin for every night a girl is willing to spend with him. Despite his fearsome reputation, his fangs and claws, the girls come back safe and sound, and they never say a word about it. One must be very desperate to accept such an offer…or very curious. Well, everyone says curiosity has always been my downfall. Too clever for a girl so beautiful.

Now my family is on the brink of losing everything. My sister Clara knows the goblin king’s story has always intrigued me, and she’s willing to sacrifice me to get her hands on his money. But I finally have the chance to sate my curiosity.

What will I find when I get there? A man who is cruelly cursed, haunted by a past misdeed? Or the man who will unlock all of my secret desires?

It has been a long time since the Goblin King trusted anyone, but if he is willing to trust me, I might be able to save him and his people. But the witch who cursed him is close at hand, and she doesn’t play fair.

Mate your own kind.

Destroy human & werebear relationships.

Fated mates DO NOT exist.

As clan leader of the Honeycomb Valley werebears, Alex Savage outed himself to the world as a bear shifter to shield one of his own from the frenzied media storm that followed the world’s discovery of the existence of werebears. But, he prefers a quiet life, a simple life. He makes the rules and he follows those rules. He upholds that which he believes to be right and stands firmly against that which he believes to be wrong. Alex Savage does not believe in fated mates.

But his bear does.

Strong, savvy, self-made millionaire Livia Palmer has a mind for business but sinful, voluptuous god-given curves designed to make a hot-blooded man stand up and take notice—even if that man’s a bear. But with a devastating betrayal by an old boyfriend in her past, Livia has given up on love. She’s given up on having more in her life than a cold boardroom, and she has an empty, too-quiet house to show for it.

Fate has other plans.

When Livia’s plane crash lands in the middle of a forest, it’s Alex who finds her. It’s Alex who defies his own rules, changes all that he believes, and challenges her to take a chance on a life that includes love, a life that includes him…a life that includes his beast within.

With the world watching, Livia finds that loving a bear of a man is easy — surviving loving him is hard.

The hunter becomes the hunted…

Aquila is a tough Roman centurion assigned to lead a dangerous mission. His objective: capture a werewolf alive for the emperor’s blood-soaked games in the Roman Colosseum. But the hunt goes horribly wrong. Aquila is badly wounded and awakens to find he’s become a werewolf himself. Worse yet, he and his surviving men are about to be betrayed.

I'll never forget the first time I saw them, warriors moving like shadows from the trees. Their eyes seemed to glow with a fierce golden light, moving more like beasts than men. I trembled, every hair on my flesh prickled in the age old response of the hunted. They were predators and I was prey.

They entered the clearing and brought with them the smell of blood. Clad in furs and leather, bristling with weapons, they were warriors the likes of which I'd never seen. Huge, hulking forms, dark shapes pricked with those glowing pairs of eyes.
I could not face them properly, for I was bound to a tree, in the middle of a wilderness, helpless as I waited to be sold to the Berserkers.
When Brenna's father sells her to a band of passing warriors, her only thought is to survive. She doesn't expect to be claimed by the two fearsome warriors who lead the Berserker clan. Kept in captivity, she is coddled and cared for, treated more like a savior than a slave. Can captivity lead to love? And when she discovers the truth behind the myth of the fearsome warriors, can she accept her place as the Berserkers' true mate?
