She reached for Faust, her little feline companion that had somehow wandered into this imposing man's arms, as she finally looked up. "I'm so sorry Your Majesty, I--," It felt like lightning struck her when she met his pale, blue eyes. She took a startled step back. The King's eyes widened. Her wolf, who was usually silent and calm, suddenly began chanting one word that the man in front of her echoed back as she slowly took Faust out of his large hands. "Mate." She watched as the King sank to one knee in the grass. All the guards followed, careful to bow their heads lower than the King. Faust was still cradled against her, his head tucked into her neck while he purred and closed his eyes. Sanara kneeled in front of the large man. The King was not meant to bow down to anyone. It was improper. "My Queen," the King sighed reverently as he gently took her hands in his. "You have finally arrived."

Dorothy Kennicott met Ace Stoll when they were only six years old. And ever since then, they have been inseparable. Best friends, attached at the hip. But what happens when Dorothy starts to develop strong feelings for her best friend? Or when her best friend starts to touch her in a more intimate way--a way that makes her head spin--without providing her with any sort of explanation? Or, oh yeah, when her best friend turns into a huge snarling wolf and claims she's his mate?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

After Wrenley Callison catches her costar-boyfriend in bed with someone else, her only plausible choice is to leave L.A. and join her friend, the newly married Duchess of Aurelia. Living in a castle with the new royal as well as her husband, the Prince, should be exactly the getaway she needs to figure out her life. However, what she doesn't account for is a certain bodyguard who seems to despise her from the first night they meet. If that's not enough, her slowly changing feelings for the grumpy protector are sure to make things more complicated. Matteo Wright is a pretty simple man. He likes control and structure and doesn't exactly enjoy when either of those things are messed with. The man lives his life for his job, which includes protecting the crown and his best friend who wears it. What he doesn't need is some American actress who likes to push all of his carefully planned buttons. Especially with the way he starts to crave the extremely irritating woman in a way that's surely not healthy and the exact opposite of controlled.
