Everyone says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But what if you live there? Eliza thought she had the kind of life everyone wants - a busy career, a husband she'd loved since college, and a tight circle who felt more like family than friends. They celebrated birthdays together, showed up for each other's milestones, and knew one another's secrets. Or at least she thought they did. This is a story of deeply twisted connections between five friends. The tangles reveal themselves bit by bit as Eliza, Ben, Miles, Vanessa and Colin learn the truth about each other, and themselves. In the end, does anything hold or does it all unravel?

A listing of all of my stories and a suggested reading order (....as much as it's possible given the way the stories interconnect.)

My jaw drops open, and all I can do is stare in revulsion at him. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. My brain tells me I have two choices right now, run, or say something to him. But what was I gonna say? No thanks? Polite pass? I literally have no words for the cruel joke the Moon Goddess has played on me. What could I have possibly done to deserve this? Out of all the males she could have chosen to be my mate, why Styxx? He, too, appears to be frozen in shock, with a look that's close to fear on his face. His mouth just hangs open, much like my own. I'll bet he was hoping for someone from another pack. Someone who didn't know who he was. Or what he was. Unfortunately, I do. I fight back the tears as I turn to walk away. "Raiyne," He calls out to me, suddenly finding his voice. But instead of looking back or answering him, I go with my first option. I run.

"What happens when his Darkness loses her Light?" I was too busy focusing on the enemies in front of me, that I forgot about the one's clawing at my back. My life was just beginning... And then he took her away from me... The reason for my entire being...My Light. Now with my light extinguished, I find it easier to do things that I couldn't before. Like hunting down and killing my traitorous brother and his lunatic of a girlfriend before they try to capture and use the evils of the world for their own horrific gain. One last mission...Like I've always planned. Only this time, I'll finally get what I've been looking for this whole time. Eternal Peace with my Mate. Something only Death and Darkness can bring me. You can run big brother...but you can't hide. Not from me. And not from the Darkness.

Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."

Juliet Adair moved to Pine Falls, Colorado for a reason. The small town is full of werewolves. Hopefully the kind that will keep out of her business as long as she keeps out of theirs. Unfortunately, one wolf seems to have formed a grudge against the new librarian, and wants nothing more than to see her pack up and move along. Roderick Jameson doesn't trust Juliet. She's an outsider, but more than that, she's hoarding secrets. As the leader of the Pine Falls werewolf pack, it is his job to keep his people safe. Any knowledge he doesn't have is dangerous. But the woman scoffs at his intimidation tactics, and she somehow convinces him to install a state-of-the-art security system in her house when his goal was to drive her away. Doesn't help that his inner wolf is lovesick for the fiery greeting card crafter. These two enemies find their animosity flaring hotter until the thin sheet of paper between loathing and longing goes up in flames. But if any kind of lasting connection can be formed, both woman and wolf will need to learn to trust despite the betrayals that lurk in their past. The same shadows that become solid, threatening their future. *Note: This is book 2 in the Wolves of Pine Falls series and it has spoilers for book 1, Claws & Crochet. But this story can still be read as a standalone!

"I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter." she grits her teeth, making Hunter smirk. "Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart," he says, fighting his wolf for dominance as he feels the sparks surge through his body caused by the light touch of her skin on his. The mating bond call was itching at his skin. "You'll be mine sooner or later, and when that happens, you'll be moaning my name out with those sweet juicy lips of yours," he says, running his lips over hers in a feather-like motion. He had to have her, he needed to have her, but before he could claim her, he first had to win her heart. Hunter Black is used to having any woman he wants at his disposal. Being the alpha of his pack has its perks after all. He can have any girl he wants at any time of day. At least... that's what she's heard. Abigail Montero was used to being the reject. She was rejected by her family, her pack, and her friends. After being sold by her own father for a box of whiskey she thinks all is lost until she is saved by the notorious rogue King. Bound to find him one day to thank him for saving her life, she sets off on an adventure to seek him, but ends up finding her long-lost crush, Hunter Black. Except his reputation is disheartening. She hates men like him, players, and womanizers who think they can get any girl he wants. Will she give in to the mating bond, or make his life a living hell? WOLVES OF THE DARK MOON SERIES BOOK 1- ALPHA RICK BOOK 2- ALPHA BLACK AND HIS LUNA

Book 3 in the Changing Fate series. Must be read in order! I thought the worse was done. I thought we were in the clear. But the storm was just getting started. Hopefully the heart of Ivaylo is as strong as they say. Because we better prepare ourselves for a storm straight from hell if it isn't.

True love. Mates. The very backbone of the werewolf species. But what happens when your Alpha mate rejects you? --------- Eden Cross is a Beta wolf in the Moorgrey Pack.

Rejected and shunned after a chaotic incident, she is sent off to Emberholde Academy, a place for out of control wolves and under the strict rule of Alpha Dante Ashvale of the Shadow Sun pack. He's ruthless and unforgiving, but turns out to be crucial to Eden's life and future, with a secret of his own. A man dedicated to his pack, with no care for himself. When these two souls collide in a raging blaze, will they rise from the ashes stronger, or stifle in never ending darkness? ______________________________ [Chapter updates will be weekly, unless posted otherwise.] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] Spotify Playlist for this novel --> https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6SBn7MPdncfpnrEdVIlIzS?si=e0etOkrpRuqitDF5HBnpzQ *** This work is completely created and written by me, and in no means can be copied, saved or re-posted to other sites, or used for personal use without my permission. *** Rankings -
