Chapter 1
“How was work, babe?” asked Keith as Gretchen came through the door and dropped her keys on the table in the hall. She was dressed up today in her fitted black business suit, pearls and topknot. There was an emergency meeting with the surrounding packs and she always liked to look professional around the other leaders.
“They killed Billy and a new witch took over at the Order in Savanna. He’s killing off people left and right trying to get rid of anyone who’s not a full blood witch. That’s just fucking crazy. Those assholes don’t even see how hypocritical they’re being. Unless you’re born in the realm, there’s always going to be blood mixing with humans, Lycans or Vampyres. Dad’s hiring more security just to be safe, they should be here in the morning,” said Gretchen as she sat beside Keith on the brown leather couch and took off her heels.
“Exciting meeting then?” asked Keith sarcastically.
Gretchen smirked and said, “Yes, very. Did you send the check to the caterer?”
“Signed, sealed and delivered,” he said as he put his arm around Gretchen.
“Great, one less thing to worry about. Before you know it, I’ll be Mrs. Gretchen Jackson and we’ll be on our way to Cancun for our honeymoon,” said Gretchen as she leaned back into the couch beside Keith.
Gretchen scratched the dark stubble under Keith's chin and said, “By the way, I don’t want you going out without security, so just hang tight in the morning til the new guys get here. I can't let my handsome human get scuffed up.”
“I can’t fucking wait til the weddings over. It’ll be nice to be able to show my face around the pack without them giving me those shitty looks,” said Keith.
“I know it’s not easy, I was hoping everyone would come around to me marrying a human, but I honestly don’t give a shit anymore. When I take over after the wedding, no one will say anything to you ever again. I promise you,” she said.
“Hey, by the way, I left dinner in the oven,” Keith said as he flipped through the channels.
“I know, I could smell it a mile away. Thank God I'm marrying a chef or else I'd starve to death,” said Gretchen. “I appreciate you staying here in this shitty little apartment, Keith. I just wanted to spruce up the house before we moved in. All those wolves running in and out over the years really messed up the floors and carpet. The painters finished up today and the new appliances came, you should see it. That old farmhouse has never looked so good.”
“I can’t wait, babe,” he said. “Now go eat so we can go to bed. I’m exhausted.”
As Gretchen combed out her wet curly golden brown hair after her shower, Keith got under the covers and turned on the television.
“So what are we watching tonight babe?” asked Keith.
Gretchen spit her toothpaste in the sink then said, “How about something scary?”
“You seriously think that’s a good idea? Your nightmare game has been strong the past couple of nights,” said Keith as he scrolled through the selections.
Gretchen walked out of the bathroom and climbed in bed beside Keith then said, “It’s so weird. I have this recurring dream about being kidnapped by some man wearing a cloak. I keep trying to run away from him and the harder I try to get away, the closer he gets. No matter how much I fight or bite or growl, he just won’t fucking leave me alone.”
Keith kissed Gretchen's forehead then clicked ok on the remote. As the intro came across the screen, Keith said, “Yeah, I know, I hear you screaming out his name. Oh Damien! Oh Damien!” Keith joked.
“It’s not funny,” Gretchen said as she slapped Keith’s arm. “They’re terrifying. I keep trying to run home and he keeps appearing in front of me. I can’t shake him no matter how hard I try. I think he wants to kill me,” she said as she climbed on top of Keith and ran her fingers over his shaved head.
Keith grabbed Gretchen's ass cheeks in his hands and started moving her hips against his. “I think he wants to fuck you Gretchen. I actually can’t say I blame him. I’ve been thinking about it all day myself.”
“Is that so? Well, I guess ole Damien will have to wait his turn tonight then,” said Gretchen as she pulled off her nightgown and threw it to the floor.
“Damn, Gretch, no panties. What a naughty little witch you are!” said Keith as he ran his hands up her chest and lightly squeezed her breasts.
“Not tonight, baby. The full moon is out and I'm just your dirty little Lycan bitch tonight,” she said as she rubbed her cunt against his boxers.
Keith blew out through his mouth and said, “Does that make me little red riding hood?”
“No baby, I’ll be the one doing the riding tonight,” said Gretchen as she crawled slowly down Keith’s body and pulled off his boxers with her teeth.
After a quick round of sex, Gretchen fell asleep in Keith’s arms. As her mind drifted off into the world of dreams, Gretchen walked down a dirt path through an ancient forest.
All of a sudden, two giant black wolves blocked her path. She shifted and fought the wolves off then ran down the dirt path away from her attackers only to have the hooded man approach her with his hands up saying, “Gretchen, wake up now.”
Gretchen sprinted towards the man then quickly darted around him and ran as fast as she could through the forest. No matter how fast or far she went, the cloaked figure appeared in front of her and said, “Wake up.”
As she came to the ruins of an ancient building, Gretchen ran inside for cover and hid behind a stone pillar. While she panted for air, she was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground. When Gretchen looked up, the man stood over her and said, “Wake up Gretchen, they’re coming.” Then, he grabbed her by her throat and said, “Wake up, now.”
Gretchen's eyes snapped open as the door to Keith's bedroom was kicked in. Before she had a chance to react, she was placed under an immobilization spell. Unable to move or speak, one of the invaders grabbed Gretchen by her hair and dragged her from bed then threw her to the floor and lifted her head so she could get a proper view.
Gretchen's eyes widened in horror as five attackers drew knives and surrounded Keith as he lay incapacitated in bed. She kept trying to reach her wolf, but the spell had put that part of Gretchen to sleep. She cried out in her mind to her mother and father. She shared a psychic connection to her parents and the other members of her pack, but Gretchen was staying at Keith’s apartment on the edge of town, miles from the nearest soldier and her family. They'd never be able to reach the apartment in time.
The tallest among the intruders knelt down beside Gretchen and said, “Keep your fucking eyes open you half blood bitch. You’re not going to want to miss this.”

Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.

From Substitute To Queen
Heartbroken, Sable discovered Darrell having sex with his ex in their bed, while secretly transferring hundreds of thousands to support that woman.
Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
