Avalynne Southwood doesn't speak. She won't. Everyone is at war with each other, peace seems impossible, and Avalynne's life has been torn to shreds by it. All she has left of her life is the necklace her father gave her--the black dove--and a knowledge that she can never give up. But her world is rocked when a young man arrives at the refugee camp--and she suddenly becomes a symbol of peace and unity to the masses...which gains her deadly enemies. Enemies that are so powerful, they could tear the world apart.

His Moon, His Madness
She ran from danger. But fate made her run straight into him. Ava Sterling's life was ordinary-coffee, city lights, and the freedom to belong to no one. Until one moonlit night, she crashes into a world where dominance rules, secrets breathe, and eyes that glow gold can make your heart forget how to beat. Lucian Blackwood. Alpha King. Ancient. Dangerous. Ruthless. He's waited centuries for his fated mate. And when he finds her, he'll do anything to keep her. But Ava isn't the fragile, submissive mate he imagined. She's fire in human form-sarcastic, bold, and untamed. Every time he gets close, she slips away. Every time she runs, his wolf grows wilder to claim her. Desire turns to obsession. Fear turns to longing. And when their worlds finally collide, the moon itself will tremble. Because loving an Alpha King isn't just forbidden- it's dangerous, intoxicating, and will burn them both.
