Ariadne has always been self-reliant. Four years ago, she became the leader of a small group of rogues, and her group has slowly grown in number. Now, to be better protected, the pack needs to get its official status, meaning it needs approval from the council. That's difficult enough as it is. However, considering her pack's background, her own past, and the fact that she's a female in a world ruled by men, her task is even more complicated. Then, there's the added bonus of her new mate, Mateus, alpha of the region's warriors. Ariadne isn't one to let some bothersome alpha mess with her life, right? Will she let Mateus in and finally learn she can rely on others, or will she turn him away? How many secrets can she keep before it all comes tumbling down? ~ Completed ~

Hendrix didn't just fight for the title of Alpha-he fought to end a legacy of violence. His first act as leader is a vow: no more daughters broken, no more mates discarded, no more wolves living in fear. But the goddess has plans of her own. Genevieve has survived the kind of darkness that should have killed her. When she is dropped into Hendrix's territory, wounded and terrified, she becomes the spark that ignites everything he's sworn to protect. The bond between them is undeniable. Dangerous. Sacred. And it might be the only thing strong enough to stop an old enemy who wants to tear the pack apart. A brutal history. A forbidden bond. A future worth bleeding for.

My cousin always referred to us as the bad jokes, as in...a blonde, a brunette and a redhead walk into a bar. I'm the blonde, and this is my story. When I was 18, a psychic told me to watch for the man with two hearts. That didn't make much sense, so I lived my life, not thinking about her fortune for my life. Then I met Wyatt and we fell in love. Until his ex-fiancee came back to him, and he chose her. Her heart. My heart. Two hearts. He's back, trying to explain things to me, trying to win me back and in the meantime, I'm also dealing with a stalker. But Wyatt's helping with that problem. Unfortunately, he's causing another problem: he's not taking no for an answer.

A killer A lunatic A madman who laughed while slaughtering his enemies A man who only lusted for blood. Those were the names attached to him. Valuing her dear life, Dahlia decided to earn his interest by pretending to like him. After all, he was known to spare interesting things, especially women, according to the rumors she heard, that is. However, her act of pretending to like him was no use at all. The more she fawned over him, the more he threatened her. Eventually, the time came when she was finally free to go but couldn't bid him a proper farewell. And years later... "Why did you suddenly disappear that day?" Never did she expect she would encounter him again. "Do you know that I've almost gone mad searching for you?" He said with his deep calloused voice. And though her body was frozen in his arms, she gulped as he leaned into her ears. "You told me before that you'd marry me once we got out of that prison." A breath hitched in her throat. "Aren't you going to keep your words, my beloved?" He said. It seemed like he had no intention of letting her go.
