"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

"Were you following me?" "Not everything is about you." Jackson's Hollow is a tiny, middle-of-nowhere town in the middle of the Smoky Mountains, which is what 18-year-old Jo Scott needs right now. Less people, more space, less chances for whatever happened that night in the alley to happen again. All she needs to do is relax. Except from almost the moment she gets there, she's constantly running into Ryker Monroe, and being around him is frustrating, exciting, aggravating, invigorating and anything but relaxing. Not to mention how distracting those overcast, stormy eyes and that lean, muscle-bound body are. Son of the current alpha, 19-year-old Ryker Monroe isn't looking for a mate, especially a human one. Right now, he's just trying to learn how to lead and not get into a territory war with the pack that's been edging into his land. But he can't keep his eye off the new girl in town--besides being his mate, there's just something more to the brown-eyed beauty who keeps him laughing than meets the eye, he's sure of it. Unable to resist the magnetism drawing them to each other, sparks are definitely going to fly... COMPLETED!
