The shadows have always been a safe haven for twenty-four year old Roslyn Huxley. But when the shadows start to haunt her she becomes more than a little curious as to who, or what they really are. Especially when foggy dreams of a shadow man having his way with her become a regular occurrence. The only catch? The encounters are a guilty pleasure that she wouldn't mind more of. Until one morning she discovers proof of his existence, and her sweet dreams come to a halt.
Who is he? 
What does he want? 
And might he have anything to do with the mysterious deaths that have been plaguing small town Chelan, WA? While old fables and ghost stories are given a new meaning, a whole new world could change everything. As something sinister hatches behind the scenes, Roslyn is determined to find answers to the mysteries within herself as well as the ones all around her. 
And especially the one's that prey on her late in the night.

"You know nothing about me, absolutely nothing! Who are you to tell me what's best for me Joslyn?!" he yells. "So all the girls you sleep with, you think that's healthy? I'm looking out for you, I can see right past this bullshit facade!" "Then tell me" he begins to walk towards me until my back reaches the wall. "What do you see?" "I see.." He presses his forehead against mine while his hands stay balled up against the wall above me. "Say it Joslyn..please." "We shouldn't be in this position...you have to-" "Joslyn." he whispers. His voice is filled with something I can't quite place. "Someone might see us." I whisper. He lowers his head and places a gentle kiss on my lips but that soon becomes a hungrier, more demanding kiss that we've both needed. His arms wrap around my waist as he deepens the kiss.

Sold to the Vorthrak Pack by her own family, Tatianna has lived her entire life in a cage. A human with hidden abilities-healing, magic, and a dangerous alter ego she's desperate to keep secret--she's been used, abused, and controlled for years. But all she wants is freedom. And when Grayson, the soon-to-be Alpha of the Ernyx Pack, finally finds her, it seems like her chance has come. Grayson's family is legendary. The Ernyx Pack is a dynasty built on strength, power, and a brutal history. They are the reason witches have been hunted to extinction... or so they thought. Grayson is expected to lead, to uphold his family's legacy-but there's one thing he doesn't have: his mate. When he discovers that Tatianna is the one he's been searching for, he's faced with a devastating truth: she's human. Heartbroken and frustrated, he's determined to win her trust and heal the scars of her past. But Tatianna has been trapped for far too long. Can she trust the man who claims she's not bound to the pack? Or is he just another prison, no different from the others who've used her for her powers? As the days pass, she begins to unlock fragments of her true identity-powers she doesn't understand, a dark past she's only beginning to remember, and a bloodline that is both a gift and a curse. Tatianna is the last witch, the final descendant of a long-extinct breed, and her powers could change everything. But will the truth set her free, or destroy her? As Grayson's world collides with hers, the tension between duty, love, and the truth of their bloodlines threatens to tear them apart. Can Grayson protect her from the shadows of the past, or will his family's legacy be the death of them both?

"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step away and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back. One of his hands grips my jaw, so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away; even if I wanted to. My whole body thrums with desire, his other hand planting itself on my waist. His onyx brown eyes bore into me; it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light up with want, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense. "You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness. I'm not prepared for what happens next. MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you? For 21-year-old Holly Freeman, the only answer was to run. After barely escaping an unknown pack that ambushed her own, Holly stumbles into the territory of the Shadow Pack: the largest and deadliest pack in North America. Tales of the Shadows kept young pups scared at night, and Holly thought she'd sooner be a lonely Omega before joining them....But what is she to do when she mates with a Shadow member? And not just any member, but the ambitious, ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha, River Matthews? Holly's heard the stories, the evils he's committed for the Shadow Expansion. Their first meeting like that of oil and water, Holly's at a total loss as to HOW they could be fated. But she's never felt anything so true. Determined to navigate the bond on her terms, and challenging River's command, they begin to find a common ground. Holly and River must learn to become each other's best allies, or risk having a greater enemy threaten not only their love, but the way of life among wolves everywhere.

In an alternate reality where Buffy sacrificed herself for Dawn without coming back to life, the young Mia Templeton, a witch-in-training, is assigned custody of Dawn Summers. One night, while Mia shares the stars with Spike, sitting on the steps of her new home, she sees a threatening shadow lurking in the night-one that seems to be visible only to her. To protect her new family and friends, the one they call the Daughter of Light must accept her new responsibilities and embrace her destiny, which is much more supernatural and magical than she expected. But how can she defeat the demons hidden in the shadows when a relationship from the past breaks her wings, and a new love conflicts with everything Mia is fighting for? How can she bring light to a world where loving a man without a soul threatens to plunge her into darkness forever?
