A stalker, age-gap dark romance Harley- She's a small-town girl, with a head full of ambiguous dreams that reach as high as the stars. However, after her world gets turned upside down by the murder of her brother and her boyfriend, she begins to spiral, losing the sparkle that used to brighten her glimmering eyes. She distances herself from her family and friends and finds comfort in the dark, dangerous streets. Brixton- He watched her long before the murder that took away the loves of her life but kept himself in the shadows, lurking, making sure to keep his identity a secret from her. He's a big city man with a rather unsavory childhood which landed him in prison for most of his adult life. She caught his eye at the bookstore one night and ever since he hasn't been able to stay away from her. These two don't know each other but they soon will. Fate decides to have their paths collide. One night of promiscuity, that's all it takes. She's the Smut Slut, according to her online escort profile, and he's the lucky John who books her time. What she doesn't know is who he is or that he's been watching her for years. What he doesn't know is that on the night of their first encounter, she plans to end her life. Seeing the tortured, broken girl in front of him, he devises a clever plan, to whisk her away to the safety of his house to keep her for himself. When she realizes she isn't going home, she begins to accept her fate with the mysterious, dark stranger who wants nothing more than to save her precious soul. Captivity suits her well, though, and she finds herself not wanting to escape his clutches. She tries to help fix the broken shell of a man that kidnapped her. They say everyone has that one person in their entire life that was made specifically for them. Is he her person? Is she his person? When two very different worlds collide, can they put each other's broken pieces back together and learn to heal with each other?

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!
