The Broken Alpha by chrxmee0000

Kaiden Anderson is the future alpha of the Dark Moon Pack... but he doesn't want to be alpha. Kaiden wasn't always like that. He was a happy kid and ready to explore the world. After his father died, his world died. He wasn't a happy energetic kid anymore. After two months after his father's death, his mother had a new mate and stepson. He was excited to have a sibling because he had been the only child. But things didn't go as expected as he thought it would. Both his new stepbrother and father abused him in different ways. After years of abuse, Kaiden is not like your typical alpha, he's different and the total opposite. Kaiden is quiet and will spend most of his time reading books and studying. Kaiden thinks he's incapable of being an alpha of his pack and doesn't want mates. Kaiden is too broken inside to have a mate and thinks he cannot make his mate happy. When he reaches the age to find his mate, Kaiden discovers he is mated to a popular murderer in all supernatural history and a powerful warlock. Lynx Waltz is an immortal werewolf & vampire hybrid. He is known for being a dangerous psychotic murderer who burned down his pack later causing him to become an alpha rouge. After centuries, Lynx hid deep inside a cave where no one could find him until he smelt something, something that made him crave it so badly and he wouldn't stop until he got what he wants. Riley Oakley is a 17 year old warlock who lost his family and coven due to an attack of rouges. He barely made it alive and somehow ended up at The Dark Moon pack where he will find his mate. But everything won't be rainbows and unicorns after his discovering his mate. He hates werewolves and now that his family was killed by them he hates them even more. He later finds out that he's mated to more than one werewolf. After getting abused in his mates pack Riley wanted nothing more but to kill the entire population of werewolves including... his mates. --- I know, a lot of reading.

Flight Risk by Voyageavecmoi

When visiting Canada for a wedding, a commitment-averse dive instructor must pretend to date her Australian seatmate to avoid conflict with her ex and judgmental mother. *** Audrey Clarke rarely felt like other women her age. Not as a teen who'd never gushed about gorgeous celebrities, nor at almost thirty, with no desire to marry, have kids, or settle down. She would much rather explore reefs in Southeast Asia and adventure around exciting places. Even when she meets travellers with similar dreams, none are the right romantic match. Until Caleb. When flying home to Canada for her friend's wedding, Audrey dreads confronting the pain she caused her ex and facing her judgemental mother. It drives her to connect with her seatmate, Australian environmental scientist, Caleb, who also craves a distraction. Despite his charm, he is enigmatic about the cause of his stress. They agree to fake a relationship to make their lives easier. The more time they spend together, the more real their act feels. Will Audrey be brave enough to share her true feelings before the trip is over? *** Featured on - Ambassador's recommendations "Aces!

A Villain for Christmas (The Holyoake Christmas Series, Book 2) by kkolmakov

Sybil 'Billie' Harewicke's life leaves much to be desired, starting with her ridiculously old-fashioned name. She's a rational, dull person - who had the misfortune of being born into a family of local witches. Her main interest in life is the Library Science - and they had just closed the library in her home county of Fleckney. She works in the only bookshop in the county - while everyone expects her to join the family business of fortune telling and potion brewing. Even the one ability that she allegedly inherited from the generations of self-proclaimed psychics, is the least useful out of the Seven Harewicke Gifts! It's holiday time in Fleckney, which means extra work for Billie, both with her family and at the bookshop. When she's offered to escape both and to work in the Bjornsson Art Fund for two weeks before Christmas, she couldn't be happier. She's always dreamt of getting her hands on the magnificent library of the Bjornsson Hall. Except, it turns out that the job has got nothing to do with bibliothecography - and is a nightmare! And a rowdy, unsophisticated crowd of filmmakers arrive at Fleckney to scout locations and research the scene. The only consolation is that none other than Archie Billingsley is among them. He's everything a celebrity should be: handsome, eloquent, prone to spontaneously quoting Shakespeare, and calling his fans 'darling.' He's just starred in a highly successful Austen adaptation, and there are rumours of an upcoming Chekhov stage play. Among other guests of the Hall are Billingsley's agent, an eccentric director, a dozen of crew members, and Eric Dair, an actor best known for playing every thug, mafioso, and terrorist in pretty much every latest blockbuster, at home and across the pond. Billie is hardly enthused at the prospect of interacting with the motley crew - but at least it'll allow her to avoid the local obsession with holiday romance and finding their true love on Christmas! Bah, humbug!
