I thought I knew the cost of ambition. I built my husband's company from the ground up, coding through exhaustion and pregnancy while he charmed investors and claimed the spotlight. I told myself we were a team. Until I lose my baby, alone, and see him laughing on a rooftop party with another woman. That night, I log back into the system I designed and make a small adjustment. Not enough to destroy it. Just enough to make it tremble. _______________________________________ Levi Thorne, the billionaire CEO preparing to merge with Eli's company, recognises the precision immediately. And when he reaches out to the mysterious "Ghost" behind the architecture, he finds something far more dangerous than sabotage: a woman who has been underestimated for far too long. As corporate tension escalates and betrayal turns public, Mira must choose between the safety of invisibility and the risk of being seen by a man who understands exactly what she's capable of. Because the most powerful revenge isn't destruction. It's a revelation.

Not Another Were Story, Rejection Series In the third and final story in the rejection shifter series, Faith is a hybrid. She shifted early and only her mother knows for fear of what others would think or do to her. On her 18th birthday, she is scented out as the mate of a Warrior from another pack. He rejects her for being "wolfless." The higher ranks in the pack encourage and support the rejection as the pack considers humans and wolfless "undesirables." The pack is one of the few that encourages chosen mates over fated mates. For her safety, Faith leaves the pack. On her journey, Faith comes across other wolf shifters (and a human?) who her special wolf insists are important to the future of shifters of all kinds. As they travel to the infamous Alpha of the North's territory to further determine the upcoming threat in an attempt to gain more alliances, Faith comes across her second chance mate: The Alpha of the North. He initially resists the bond, thinking a wolfless mate could not be helpful to him in a time of war. But he soon realizes, he needs his mate as much as she needs him to overcome the threat.

Hope Tanner was found as a baby, abandoned, just outside the territory of the Wolf River pack, while pack members were on a territory sweep. An Omega was able to take her home to his wife, who was not able to have pups. Hope was not like her pack members, being a curvier girl who wore glasses and had the personality that took after her name: hope. By her 17th birthday she is discovered to be only human. This becomes a complication when the Alpha heir ends up being her mate. He thoughtlessly rejects her, while she becomes a thoughtful scholar of wolf pack history. On a coincidental meeting with the infamous warrior Luna, Nalia Knight, (or is it) Hope is invited along on travels to other packs with Luna Nalia as she and Alpha Jarek bring the infamous training program to other packs, and quite possibly, may be on another mission. When they arrive at the Dark Moon pack, the second strongest pack around, Hope comes face-to-face with a unique situation: she has a second chance mate. Will he reject her too because she is just a human? Or does fate have special plans for Hope? Story/book #2 in the Rejection Shifter series. Story/book #1 is Staking His Claim
