COMPLETE BUT FINESSING Ari Nichols's life in Alaris is far different from how she grew up. Accountant by day & homebody by night, Ari is happy with her quiet life. She only ventures out for dinners with friends, work events, or the rare blind date which she goes on at her parents' insistence. She'd rather skip dating altogether & never gives a second thought to the men she ices out, but when Sebastian Meyer speaks to her the first time, she wants it to happen again. Meyer is a man at the top of his game, headed towards the pinnacle of the business world. He's arguably Alaris's most eligible bachelor. He garners the attention of women everywhere he goes, but only the most elite of them make it into his "black book." Dating is a tool used by Meyer - a means to an end. Meyer knows from the beginning that Ari has nothing to contribute to his goals, but he's drawn to her nonetheless. Ari, who once thought herself clever & guarded, will discover just how naive she truly is when caught in the world of the power hungry and ruthless Meyer. As an adult, she thought she finally had her life under control, but she'll be pushed to her limits by Meyer's intensity. Will she be able to get the balance she wants in their relationship or is total submission the only thing Meyer will accept? Meyer has been focused on one goal for most of his life, driven by the past he wants to leave behind. His cold & calculated behavior starts to become unpredictable after getting involved with Ari. Conquering her is the only way he can regain himself, but in the process he'll discover that there's more to Ari than meets the eye. Will his wild life send her running before he can find the answers? Can their painful pasts & true selves remain hidden or will the sudden & intense flame of their passion bring everything to light? Will they be strong enough to withstand the pressures of the outside world - ambition, power, pleasure, temptation? Or will everything burn to the ground?

While Sean and his wolves encounter major growing pains in their relationship, Sean is plagued by visions he can't quite control. What's worse? He still hasn't helped Trevor. Could a member of their own coven have the answers Sean and Trevor need? Or are his intentions far more sinister? ***** A talking cat for a bestie and two werewolf boyfriends sounds like the makings of a fairy tale. But for Sean Brooks, the last four months have been far from a dream. Sean's fast-approaching birthday is only compounding his concerns over what the future holds for Trevor, while Nate and Kaiden grapple with pack politics and the mounting tension between the two of them. To make matters worse, the wealthiest member of Sean's coven, Tobias Beaumont, seems to be fostering an unhealthy interest in both him and the Gibson pack. If Sean can't figure out who he can really trust, and reign in his own magic, the tangled threads of his 'happily ever after' could be torn apart completely.
