Trapped within the bars of Silver Creek Zoo and unable to escape to the calling woods, the mighty werewolf was closed off from her world. Forced to stay in her wolf form, the cameras preventing her from shifting back, she struggled day by day to live up to the wishes of the public. She had no option but to listen to her keepers or they would drug and kill her. When the local pack's school comes on a zoo excursion, their Luna realises there was a werewolf trapped. But this she-wolf isn't just a werewolf. She was worth a lot more. The news of a trapped wolf spread through the pack, and eventually through the entire werewolf community, but the wolves can't do help with the naked eyes of the humans watching. There are questions that need to be answered before anything happens. Who is she? What pack is she from? How long has she been trapped there? Who is her mate? And more importantly, how are they going to get her out? (c) Elizabeth H. Blake This is the edited trilogy.

*Book 1 of the Sin Series* Alpha Titania. The meaning behind her name, the great one; a true essence of her strength. A woman incapable of emotion other than wrath with an ice-cold heart and arctic eyes to match. As the first Alpha Female in Europe, Titania faces scrutiny from every angle. After creating and leading her pack, Duskfall, located in the harsh and secluded Scottish Highlands for over five years, it's clear to see why her wolves respect her despite her hot temper and icy disposition; a wolf blistered by love too many times for the moon to count. Her past is anything but pretty, making wolves tuck tail at her mere reputation, especially after slaughtering her past three bondmates in cold blood. So when told by the Elder Council to take a mate or be dismantled as Alpha, she is left with little choice. When packs in Europe are faced with a biological disaster, their teenagers dying before completing their first shift, Titania and her allied Scottish Alpha's must house the packs of Europe while trying to understand the cause. As Scottish wolves go untouched by this mysterious plague, tensions arise and Alpha's battle for power. There's no hiding from fate, not even from one of the most prominent Alphas in the European continent. When fire meets ice, all seven sins shall break loose.

Ainsley is a dragonblood princess, powerful but constantly restrained by her duties and her oppressive father, the king of Ellay. When a pirate crew makes a shaky truce with the king and asks for a guarantee of their safe travels around his country, he offers up Ainsley as an unwilling hostage and a show of good faith on his part. Ainsley suddenly finds herself powerless and trapped on a pirate ship, but the crew is nothing like what she expects, and neither is the lady captain, Gael, who defies every expectation and leaves Ainsley curious and unsure of where her loyalties lie. She tries her best to hate Gael and the pirates, but slowly, they're winning her over, and she must face the awful truth: to follow her heart will bring about catastrophic consequences, and she will need to be prepared to fight fire with fire.

[#WATTYS2018 LONGLIST] On Earth, a conspiracy theorist stumbles across the wreckage of a spacecraft. There are two corpses in strange uniforms. One is an alien - the other is not. In space, a young human agent watches in horror as the images are beamed around the world, putting the entire project to integrate humanity into the Commonwealth of Orion at risk. And across the darkness between stars, an alien armada gathers its forces, and aims them right at Earth. Deep in a cave on a remote island lies the key to everything; a small beacon containing the directions to the Hub, the crossroads of the Commonwealth. If the aliens find it and use it to access the Commonwealth's complex network of Starbridges linking its worlds together, the rest of the galaxy will be at their fingertips. Only one person knows where the beacon lies... ...for now.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
