"Stop it, Dax." I wouldn't meet his eyes, I couldn't. His hot breath trailed up my neck, his soft lips ghosting over the exposed flesh. He chuckled when my back arched involuntarily, my cheeks flaring hot and pink. "It's Officer Rivera, to you." His deep voice rasped quietly in my ear. "Besides, you don't want me to stop, Princesa." "If you don't stop, I'll-" "You'll what?" He interrupted, smirking against my jawline. "Call the police?" Jane Kingsley is a Veterinary Medicine major at the University of California-Davis.

A forbidden romance between a fearsome Horde King of The Wildlands and the peasant spy sent to betray him... Despite her humble beginnings, Elixa has always dreamt of glory. When she's tasked with espionage, she seizes the opportunity. The job seemed simple: infiltrate a horde in The Wildlands and extract its secrets.

On Elixa's first night among the horde, The King drags her close and bites her neck in a brutal claim that makes her realize she has no idea what she signed up for. Between a series of mishaps and the Horde King's suspicion turning into smoldering attraction, Elixa finds that every confrontation leaves them standing a little too close. As passion deepens and loyalties blur, Elixa must choose between the glory she's always craved and the Horde King she's falling for. *** Kryndor Book #2

Thaddeus is one of the oldest vampires in the world, set on a mission to take over and replace The Elders, the supernatural government that has grossly overstepped their boundaries and operated on unethical means to maintain their power while losing sight of caring for their people. It isn't his first attempt at overthrowing the powerful force, but as his list of allies grow, so does his list of complications. Between maintaining relationships with his new allies, protecting the key pieces in his plan, and trying to coax a long lost supernatural out of hiding, he has no time for anything else. Especially not the vampire-hunting human his brother associates with. Winter and Thaddeus find their paths crossing more than either of them like. They butt heads, threaten and attempt to kill each other, and find through all their conflict that there is something underneath. An unwanted camaraderie, an unfortunate mutual understanding of the others motivations, and most inconveniently, a draw to each other that takes time away from their firm ambitions. On the matter of the greater good or love, both have to choose which means more to them.

BOOK 4 COMPLETE Kaden is the Beta of Blackstone pack, and while fated mates are part of his world, he never gave much thought to finding his own, or at least he didn't used to. Kaden goes off on a long run to get away and feels a strange, indescribable pull. As he moves farther into California, he finds his mate, but what should be a happy moment is shrouded in darkness as he ventures into her world- a world of darkness and danger unlike anything he's ever experienced. Violet's been labeled a genius and prodigy ever since she was a child, and she hates every moment of it. After escaping from the limelight, she lives in a world of secrets and fear- fear of being found, of being trapped like she was before. She keeps everyone else at a distance and tries to drown the grief and the pain of her past and present with self-medication until the day she can finally get the justice she's worked so hard for. Promises she made years ago stay fresh in her mind and she does everything she can to keep them, even if it means crossing the boundary of legality. Her trauma-engrained mind won't let Kaden get close to her without precautions but as she looks into his life, she finds things that aren't adding up and make her question what he's hiding. "Violet?" That single touch made the rest of me feel more alive than I had in years. Under his hand, under the clothes, against my skin, was a scar that contributed to me turning off all feeling, and yet one touch from him and it was all coming back, like I was learning how to be alive again. Maybe not even again, maybe I was learning for the first time. My hands had a mind of their own as they slid down his chest. He inhaled sharply, his hand tightening on my hip. I bit on my lip, knowing this was stupid, but I couldn't stop. "Seven minutes in heaven it is," I said, sliding my hands down his torso, the muscles of his abs tightening under my touch. "But no kissing." "I don't need to kiss you to be in heaven with you."

**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.
