Seventeen years have passed since the blood-soaked dawn of 1692. The "Black Sleep" that once gripped the valley has lifted, but the rising sun brings a new kind of fire to the Great Glen. In the wake of the Great Restoration, the North has tasted nearly two decades of hard-won peace-but in the Highlands of 1709, peace is a fragile bloom, easily crushed by the boots of ambitious men. As the three unified houses of McKinnon, Ragnarok, and Collin grow in influence, the eyes of a shifting Scotland turn toward their borders with envy. While the revered Rowan Tree stands tall in the courtyard, its berries ripening like drops of crimson blood, a new generation of the Wolf must find its own path through the mist. The Daughter of Shadow and Light: Gracelyn, now seventeen and a master of the healing arts, finds herself at the center of a gathering storm. As suitor clans descend upon Ragnarok Keep, she must navigate a world where ancient traditions are weapons, every alliance is a hidden blade, and every vow is a potential trap. The Heirs of the Pine: The twins, Lachlan and Elara, twelve years of age and bursting with the fire of their parents, discover that the ghosts of the past are not as dead as the legends suggest. Deep within the Whispering Woods, remnants of old enemies stir, threatening to unravel the tapestry of the three houses. The Weight of the Rowan: Alana, once the lonely healer of a Lowland manor, now stands as a Queen and Mother. She must draw upon the deepest, most guarded secrets of the Earth to protect her children from a cost she never anticipated. In a kingdom where power is as sharp as a thorn and the political landscape of 1709 shifts like sand, can love truly take root, or will the weight of a crown finally crush the spirit of the Rowan? The mountains are calling. The Gathering has begun.

"I don't want to be your mate." she tells me. "Why don't you want to be my mate, sweetheart?" I ask, wincing when she growls at me. "Don't fucking call me that." she snaps. "Why?" "Because I can't be Luna." she whispers. Just for a split second, I see pain in her eyes, but the emotion disappears as soon as it came. "You live in a nice house, you have food on the table everyday, and..." My mate shuts her mouth as if she had spoken too much. "Finish what you were going to say." I urge. "I can't." she whispers, tears forming in her eyes. "It's... It's a secret." ************ Josephine Mancini has been abandoned by her family when she was just fifteen years old.

Wilder Than the Wind A Megan Cutter Novel Bannock, Montana is no longer just a mining camp-it is a battleground for legacies, love, and the secrets of three powerful families. Dr. Quinn Colt has finally returned to the frontier, ready to step into Dr. Brown's shoes. But she didn't count on Landon Paisley. The second son of a Virginia Senator, Landon is as skilled as he is stubborn, and he's convinced that Quinn's medical degree is a mistake of the times. Their clash is immediate and explosive, a war of science and ego that hides a growing attraction neither is willing to admit. While the doctors bicker, Angela Colt finds herself in the crosshairs of a deadly campaign of treachery. A ruthless bank robber, fueled by a childhood grudge against the Pearson name, is tearing through the territory. To stop him, Angela must rely on Deputy Jonathan Dodd, the son of an Englishman and raised by his mother and step-father, who understands the weight of a complicated heritage better than anyone. Adding to the chaos are the other Paisley brothers: the dutiful Byron and the rebellious Sullivan. While Sullivan's reputation for frequenting the town's seedier corners makes him the talk of the town, his presence in Bannock hides a truth that will leave both the Colts and the Paisleys reeling. From the high-stakes robberies on the trail to the quiet tension of the medical clinic, the bonds of blood will be tested. In the final showdown, the next generation must decide if they will be broken by the shadows of their parents, or if they are truly Wilder than the Wind.
