[ #JustWriteIt - #WattyAwards2014 - #NaNoWriMo ] Princess Maxine's family suffered the heartbreak of her mother's kidnapping years ago, but it's in the past... or so they thought. There's more to her kidnapping than Maxine ever knew, and it's become painstakingly evident that she's next, especially after a pirate attack that led to her disappearance. If only she knew why. Among the confusion of being forced prisoner, no one dares speak a word to her of what Captain Avarice has planned, and her mother is a topic that none of the pirates would touch with a ten foot pole. It's agonizingly obvious that whatever Avarice has planned, it's far more terrible than anything Maxine would even consider. Crossed between her desire to go home, and a growing appreciation for life on the sea, Maxine finds herself falling for two men at once, befriending the crew, and stuck in a rut where tensions grow high around the conflicts she faces. Amid danger and romance, Maxine's life is about to make a turn-for the worse or for the better? [CHECK OUT THE TRAILER!]

BOOK TWO IS "The Anomaly of Gavin Wilde".]

Emma Austen, daughter of the infamous Alpha Lillian, is outcast for her peculiar disposition: her ability to shift and take on bizarre Alpha qualities even her mother hasn't seen before. In the world Emma lives in, female werewolves aren't a normal "thing", so when it comes to school, night runs, and all of the above, she has to act like one of the guys. Acting like one of the guys makes the next bit tough: she has to get married. Before she's 21. Or risk an arrange marriage. Oh joy. At the age of nineteen, Emma decides this is the year she's going to find "the one" (whatever that means). Through a series of unfortunate events, Emma is kidnapped and taken across state border to atone for her indecency of being a female werewolf--only, there's a change of plans when curious wayward traveler, Gavin Wilde, swings by in his iconic turquoise Volkswagen that hails from Stoughton, Wisconsin. As it turns out, circumnavigating the United States via BMW Volkswagen van is better spent with two people rather than one. [SEQUEL TO "THE WILD", BUT CAN BE READ SEPARATELY]

Their quirky rivalry spurs from spite for what is considered to be "right" in werewolf communities, and their friendship results from the secrets they have to keep from their work in subduing the rogue catastrophe- -because not many people can fathom lycanthropes in different species.
