Most stories heroes are known for their bravery, chivalry, and kind hearts. They are expected to go out of their way to help others and to always fight for the greater good. This is not one of those stories. Shaemus Snow is a temperamental, sly, master thief who does what he likes and takes what he pleases. He and his band of thieves pickpocket and steal from the whole Kingdom of Etruborg. However, things begin to change for Shaemus when a strange girl follows him home after his gang had successfully stolen a jewel-encrusted horse from a nobleman's house. The girl claims to have some sort of connection to him and starts speaking of hidden magical abilities. Shaemus is all ready to dismiss her when she shows him her scars and he suddenly realizes they match his. Between dragons, elves, and a malicious warlock, Shaemus and the girl must travel to distant lands in search of what they truly are and where they came from. Should the pair be successful, they may be able to save more than just themselves, for who really knows what is buried deep within the snow.

Maxine Moss arrived in Pacific City to start a brand new life complete with her first real job as a marketing assistant at Hedenby Holdings. Life was supposed to be simple until the unexpected happens. After a disastrous first meeting with her infuriatingly sexy boss, an unlikely friendship starts with the man she just can't quite figure out. The waters become turbulent and unpredictable as old flames and new sparks add fuel to an already slow-burning fire that Maxine fears might burn her if she lets herself get too close. As Maxine's world expands into unchartered territories for a small-town, big-dreams kind of girl, she finds herself caught in the spotlight and worse, in a love story with a man who was never looking for one. Will she run in the opposite direction or will she free-fall? *** Copyright © 2013 by Nina Tippett. All rights reserved.

Imbalanced in more ways than one, all he wanted to do was live his life without his biology getting him into trouble. Unfortunately for him, scent compatibility was likely to get him into a lot of it. Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
