Wren falls in love before she understands what love can cost. Knox stays close enough to hurt her, never close enough to choose her, teaching her that longing can be cruel when it has no name. Years pass in avoidance and restraint, in almosts and maybes that rot into silence. By the time fate finally claims them, Wren has already learned how to live without him, and Knox has learned too late what it means to lose her without ever truly having her. The bond snaps into place like a sentence, not a gift. Love is no longer innocent. Forgiveness is not promised. But somewhere beneath the damage, something still aches to survive. This story is set in a universe where bonding and mating is commonplace. There is always a HEA ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***

When a social worker uncovers the oversight that kept her in foster care, she's sent back to the father who lost her through a bureaucratic error, and the four brothers who never stopped missing her.

She spent her life waiting for a father's love that never came. Now, after losing everything, he's the one trying to save her. Seventeen-year-old Ava Delaney thought she understood pain-until she learned the truth. Her mother trapped her father with a pregnancy he never wanted. Her father built a new family without her. And when Ava begged him to forget she existed, he did. Months later, bruised and broken in a hospital bed after a violent night, Ava opens her eyes to find him there-the man who left her behind. But love doesn't heal overnight. Moving in with her father's perfect new family only opens new wounds: a kind stepmother who doesn't know how to help, a sweet little sister who adores her, and a half brother who hates her on sight. As Ava struggles to rebuild her life, she finds solace in Liam, the school's notorious bad boy who sees the pain she hides. But forgiveness isn't easy-not for her father, not for her brother, and not for herself. When buried secrets resurface, Ava must decide whether to keep running from the past or face it head-on-and whether broken hearts can still learn how to love. A story of family, forgiveness, and first love-The Unwanted Daughter is a heart-wrenching emotional romance about what it means to be seen, to be chosen, and to finally belong.

Coming from a traditionalist family who believes that an Omega's only place is beneath the heel of an Alpha, Abby is given to an Alpha to carry out a terrifying plot against some members of the Omega Security Force. When she is sent to Sanctuary to recover and find a new direction to her life, she plans to figure out her life without ever involving an Alpha, but when her family refuses to let her go, an Alpha who has sworn to never mate is the only thing standing between her and a return to her hellish past. When the Omega who has sworn off Alphas and the Alpha who never wanted a mate finally meet, what happens when their instincts call to the very basest part of their existence? Note: While set in the same world as Alpha Lost, this story - by its very nature - has some darker undertones as Abby comes from a place where Omegas are treated as objects whose value is only as property. Just be warned there may be some triggering moment in this story. UPDATED TO ADD: There are definitely some dark moments. It's gone darker than I thought it would. Abby was abused terribly, and it's not all "off-screen." Mind your mental health and beware of possible triggers.
