A Wolf's Courage(Tales of Europa Book 1)
🥀Heat licks up my bones and into the surrounding skin, my groan of pleasure joining Damaris's low growl of desire. However, his lips stay as gentle as his grip on my waist, allowing me to choose how far this will go. My throat rumbles as I purr from his hand slowly trailing up my arm to the side of my neck.

THE WOLVES OF HOOD MOUNTAIN Book 1: Hunter - Part 1: Into the Woods
My name's Bianca Ashford. Young, pretty, big house in Cali, wealthy family, studying fashion, and the cherry on top, a boyfriend who's rich and hot. That's the glamorous side of the story. But it's just a front. Because in reality, the movie of my life is a lot less Instagram-worthy than the poster makes it seem. I can't get over my mom's death, my blended family is a total nightmare, and my dad's in the ICU. Wait, that's just the teaser! The trailer of my Christmas break gets a whole lot crazier with some added action. Ruined birthday and holidays, surprise snowstorm, car crash, assault, kidnapping, and being held hostage... Oh, wait-scratch that. I narrowly dodged that last one. Or did I? My so-called "rescuers" seem just as dangerous as my attacker. Strangely handsome and mysterious, they take me to a hideout in the mountains that looks straight out of a fairytale. But not the kind with happy endings, of course. No, more like the ones told to scare kids. Am I really out of the woods now, or is my story about to get way worse?Complete
Ayn's Healing

When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
