**FORMERLY THE ALPHA'S BETA** Josh is turning 18, and with that milestone comes the possibility of finding his mate. Temperamental and, more often than not, the cause of his own problems, the only person who truly understands him is Darren. As his soon to be Alpha, it only makes sense that the two are so close. What doesn't make any sense is the sudden attraction to someone he's seen as a friend his whole life. Darren is the next Alpha, juggling an unruly beta and the weight of his own inheritance. At 19, life seemed to be going just fine for him until his Beta disappears right when bodies start showing up. Together, they must come to terms with being more than just Alpha and Beta and protect their pack from one of the biggest threats in its history.

Yuyeon Jo possesses a unique gift: the power to see invisible demons. Her gift is exactly what Geon Lee, the Crown Prince of Korea, has been searching for. Descended from a long line of demon exorcists, Geon bears a royal duty to find a bride who can assist him in protecting his country from monsters. What Yuyeon doesn't know-or rather, doesn't remember-is that she and Geon share a history that dates back to the day a tragic accident killed her father thirteen years ago. What precisely happened on that fateful day, and will Geon forgive her for lying about her gift to save her mother, who has been unconscious since the accident? Yuyeon had never been happy with her ability to see demons, but perhaps now, her Sacred Eye could prove invaluable-not only for the safety of Korea, but for her own chance at happiness and true love.

Desmond Crenshaw doesn't have much going for him. He street races for cash, deals drugs to get by, and drags himself through each day with only one goal: survival. He's a reckless high school dropout with very few talents that won't get him arrested-definitely not someone you'd want around your child. Vaughn Torres agrees, he's been seeking a solid reason to cut off the friendship between the troublemaker and his daughter since the day they met. He gets one, too, when Des's vices begin to bleed into their lives and Winter is officially in danger. Des is given an ultimatum: he can only be around Winter if he distances himself from the crime. There's only one way to do that. A change of employment, specifically to Vaughn's mechanic shop, though that balance is a lot easier said than done. No, things for Des are never that simple. Not when he's working under the watchful eye of a man who hates him. Not when he starts genuinely wanting to be better, and is faced with the rocky road of leaving a life of crime entirely. And especially not when he's been in love with Winter's dad for years.
