In which a sarcastic, jaded illegal doctor falls for a stubborn, hardheaded mafia prince who can't feel pain. ... In a world where injuries are currency and broken bones are an everyday occurrence, twenty-five-year-old Luca Mosby is the one people come to when things go wrong. He's not a licensed professional, but years of patching up fighters, criminals, and desperate men in dim back rooms have earned him the nickname "Doc." Twenty-four-year-old crime prince Fischer Klein was born with a condition where he doesn't feel pain. To most people, that sounds like a gift but it's really a liability. Raised surrounded by violence, he learned early that the world is full of men willing to test exactly how much damage a body can take. And, unfortunately, his can take a lot. When a deal gone wrong injured many, Fischer and Luca met. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but the thing about a man who can't feel pain was that he didn't know when to stop. The more Fischer began to show up--sometimes injured, sometimes not--the more sparks began to fly, and Luca must decide whether the man who was raised to view himself as disposable was just another patient... or the one person he's willing to risk everything to save.

When a lapse in judgment leads to an unplanned pregnancy, Reo feels as if his world is shattered. Alone with no one to talk to, he's finally hit rock bottom and has no clue how to get back up. However, when he meets an eccentric vampire and a broken wolf, he realizes that maybe his life isn't quite over just yet.

I shoved him back against the couch, momentarily catching him off guard. His eyes drifted down to my lips and I knew that without his processors, he couldn't hear me but that didn't stop me from muttering, "shit." Shit because that selfish asshole persona he typically wore was crumbling in real time; shit because I was finally getting a real look at who he was behind that badge he wore like armor; shit because the more glimpses I got, the more I was starting to like what I was seeing. And that realization was more terrifying than anything else. ... Twenty-six-year-old former mafia second-in-command Enrico Herrera grew up surrounded by violence. After two years away from it all, he thought he had left mafia life behind until he crossed paths with corrupt police detective Von Rutherford. Twenty-five-year-old Von Rutherford didn't play fair. A corrupt cop whose goal was to bring down crime lords and trafficking rings no matter the consequences, it was no surprise when he turned his sights on a secret society known for crime in the area. The problem was getting close enough to gather enough evidence which was where Enrico came in. Blackmailed into helping Von with his case, Enrico was dragged back into the mafia underworld. His goal was to get out of Von's clutches as soon as possible; however, the more time he spends with the cunning, relentless detective, the more he sees past Von's badge and the harder it becomes to separate duty from desire.

Mating an alpha to a rogue terrified of alphas, and a bodyguard to the charge he can't have, sounded like cruel jokes played by the Goddess. But when a witch's curse strikes, these unlikely mates may be the only ones able to save all werewolves from downfall. ***** Ever since he was banished from his pack, River has feared alphas and their warriors. Thankfully, he was taken in by a sympathetic doctor couple and is now training to become a doctor himself in the castle on top of the hills of Winterpeaks; a sanctuary for wounded werewolves. River was happy with his new life, sheltered from bloodshed and survival of the strongest. But everything changed when Luan, the son of the strongest alpha of the West, was wheeled in one dreary night. (Book One of Luan's Wolf. This book contains a series.

Book 3 in Stray Series. I don't know what happened to me that night. I don't know how I, whatever I was now, came to be. Everybody who was there claims to have no knowledge of what really transpired, urging me to remain silent and secretive. I know they're lying to me, but I don't know why. I'm different from those around me, able to do and see and know things that they cannot. I seem to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time, of knowing what to do or say to fix the problem and help those around me. So why do I still feel so alone? Why do I feel so out of place? Why do I feel so hollow and empty? I can never seem to fill the ache in my chest regardless of what I do. I seem capable of helping everyone but myself. I searched, researched, scoured every source and talked with every knowledgeable creature I could find. But even still, no one knew how or why or what I am. Until I found him. -This story has depictions of violence, SA, depression, panic attacks, gore.

(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right?

Reports of abandoned children, roaming around in the wilds and refusing any human contact, were starting to become the hot topic. The humans who never encountered one of these children, deemed the reports nothing more than stories; fairytales designed to spook and scare people. But the very few that have spotted one of these wild and untamed children knew that these weren't just stories. They just didn't know the true nature of these wild, sometimes aggressive children. Feral shifters, abandoned at birth. Werecreatures that lived on instinct alone, until the were-community managed to capture them.

Ji-ho, a 23-year-old boy burdened by a life of constant misfortune, has known only abandonment and hardship. His mother disappeared without a trace years ago, leaving him with a father consumed by gambling and addiction. His world, already fragile, shatters when his father vanishes, and dangerous debt collectors come hunting for Ji-ho to settle the debt. With the help of his best friend Noah, they barely manage to escape, fleeing into the unknown. Their escape leads them into a hidden, mystical realm, far from anything they've ever known-a land where wolves with mysterious powers rule and the ordinary rules of reality no longer apply. As they navigate this strange world, they uncover secrets buried deep within its ancient lore, but none more shocking than the truth Ji-ho is forced to face: he is the fated mate of a powerful wolf, destined to be part of a bond that defies reason and changes everything. Caught between fear and desire, Ji-ho must embrace his new reality or risk losing everything-including his very life.

"Some souls are born to suffer, some hearts are destined to heal. In a world where silence speaks louder than words, where shadows of the past linger, and where love arrives like an unspoken promise-two lives intertwine in ways neither expected. A journey of pain, of longing, of unbreakable bonds... and the kind of love that saves."
