|| ✨ 2022 WATTYS WINNER ✨ || || x8 FEATURED || Kill the monsters. Claim the bounty. Escape to Alaska. ------------ Ten years ago, an event known as The Turning upset the balance of Earth's ecosystems. Demons emerged from the depths of Hell, dragging along with them obscure creatures from old myths and legends. In the midst of all this chaos, eighteen-year-old Raine Barlow makes a living by hunting monsters. No price is too high, no monster is too deadly. Her goal is simple: to make enough money to escape to Alaska -- where her parents are rumored to be held. And Raine just might be able to do it: the mayor of Eureka has agreed to pay her $10,000 to escort his young daughter to the City of Dust -- a former metropolis surrounded by walls and secrets. Armed with poison-tipped crossbow bolts, her own brand of small magic, and an aging battle-elk named Winston, Raine and her charge must trek across the dust-covered and desolate stretches of a California highway, all the while trying to avoid the monsters and demons who are trying to take over the world.

Aliya Matsuoka meets "him" in her dreams - a regal yet unexpectedly shy man. But strangest of all, he always meets her in the forest, where their instant bond escalates into a sensual night beneath the stars. In waking reality, a monstrous ex blurred Aliya's judgment on whom to trust. She won't even kiss most dates, let alone "get down and dirty in the leaves" with a gorgeous stranger. When Aliya follows an uncontrollable urge to retrace her dream's steps, reality surpasses her wildest imagination; she's living amongst Lycans, shapeshifters who can morph into wolves at will. Outspoken for his "untraditional values" that Lycan sexes should have equal rights, shy Alpha Noah Greenfield faces constant pushback from other Alphas who thrive on dominance. As Aliya and Noah's fated love transcends all bonds, Aliya unleashes her desires. But diving into this paranormal fairytale isn't enough to erase Aliya's trauma; there's always a chance another monster could follow her home. **This is an EXCERPT from the rough draft of My Shy Alpha: Book 1 of the Steamy Shifter Romance Series, now available on KU and as a paperback and hardcover in global bookstores!
