THIS IS A COMPLETED STORY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON A Heart of Stone - Sarah Vanston _________________________________________ Meet Riley Deluca. To the underground syndicate that raised her, she goes by a much more fitting name: Reaper. Shaped from childhood into a lethal weapon, Riley was built to be her father's perfect, obedient soldier. She was engineered to have a heart of stone and ice in her veins-incapable of feeling, incapable of remorse. But the flawless illusion shattered on one horrific night when her innocent baby brother died in her arms. So, she broke her chains. And she ran. Now a fugitive from her own ruthless family, the law, and the countless enemies she accumulated in her old life, Riley seeks refuge in a sleepy, forgotten college town. The plan is simple: blend in, lay low, and pretend to be normal. But hiding a monster is harder than it looks. When she literally crashes into the campus's undisputed pack of "bad boys" on her very first day, her quiet cover story begins to unravel. Ian and his crew are used to ruling the school, but they have no idea that the quiet new girl is the most dangerous thing in the room. As attraction flares and secrets bleed into the light, Riley's past begins to close in. Can she truly forge a life free from her father's shadow, or will the Reaper be dragged back into the dark?

Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)
