[COMPLETE] Brenton Tucker swept like a cool breeze into the long, stifled summer of Amelia's life. He was everything a hero should be-- all easy smiles, broad shoulders, and rakish good looks. Years of common sense left her when he invited her into his company, and she found herself tangled with him beneath virgin sheets. He worshiped her body, crooned sweet promises into her ear, and a dismal future forecast of drudgery and struggle lifted away at his words. He claimed her, stole her away from strangled city life, and rewrote her future in one glorious night of star-crossed lovemaking. There was just one problem-- Brent Tucker wasn't hero of Amelia's story.

[COMPLETE] Katherine Williamson Peters wasn't born a beaten coward. When she was a girl she was wild and free and brave. She was Blue Angel, fierce protector of the imaginary innocent and robber of make-believe trains. She climbed trees and disobeyed her father and she cavorted with demons. At least that's what the church folk said-- Gabriel Townsend's momma was a concubine for Satan himself, and her son was the devil's seed. Not that it mattered much to Katherine, back when she was young and reckless. Gabe was just her partner in crime, her best friend in the whole world. She was Blue Angel and he was Devil Dog, slayer of bad guys and wielder of six-shooter finger guns. But life had other plans for Katherine than the rebellion and joy she favored as a girl. She couldn't say exactly how it happened that she lost her courage, but she woke up one day and found herself conquered. Battered and alone, crushed beneath the heel of her husband, her obligations, and the weight of the town's judgment. A brave woman would have fought. She'd have protected herself and brought goodness and strength back to the name of God-- a name her husband's preachings had tarnished. Katherine wasn't brave. She was a coward, and like a coward she turned her back on God and she fled... ...right into the arms of the devil.

Kidnapped by members of Mercile Industries, the pharmaceutical company that was shut down six years ago for their illegal experiments on New Species, Paige Evans wakes within the confines of a testing facility as one of their prisoners. They believe her to be the daughter of an elusive double agent. A threat that could expose Mercile's most valuable research to the NSO. When the infiltrator's identity is compromised, Paige discovers a terrible truth: the woman she believed her mother to be is a lie. Now, threatened as leverage in exchange for classified NSO information, Paige is forced to endure captivity with the other prisoners until her mother gives in--or face termination at the hands of their most lethal test subject: X-013. But something far more sinister lurks deep within the compound, and as Paige struggles to survive the horrible trials as a test subject, she uncovers a threat to New Species that could potentially destroy them all. **Yes, my first New Species fanfiction ever!** Please review, comment, send the love-whatev!

The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.

"No, dearest." Sebastian smiled revealing a set of perfectly white teeth. "I am quite real. Care to have a touch?" His eyebrows went up emphatically. Madeline let out a breath she'd been holding for quite some time. She took two careful steps toward him, reaching out and poking his forearm with her index finger. He was warm, deliciously so. "Not exactly what I had in mind but whatever works for you, sweetheart." Sebastian shrugged playfully. Madeline moved further away, her eyebrows in knots above her puffy eyes. "So where are we sleeping?" "We?" She stuttered. What was going on? Her mind was full of overwhelming questions. Had she finally fallen off the deep end? Sure, she had been super sad, more down than she remembered being in a very long time, but she didn't think she had pushed herself to the extreme of hallucinating. "Yes, we." Sebastian was standing then. His height was impressive. She stumbled back with his nearness. He laughed, shaking his head. He really did find her to be quite amusing. Her nervousness made her all the more interesting. "Did you not miss me, Madsy?" Sebastian teased. "Because I most definitely missed you."

With no one left to distract her from the miserable memories, she is visited by an old, slightly invisible friend that she hadn't thought about in years.
