The Communicator
She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

Karina |18+
CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS FIRST!! In which I fall in love with my sister's brother. "I should hate you." He whispers against my lips. "You do." I say and he nods his head "Then why does it feel like I'd burn the world for you." ** Karina Poleman never planned to marry Nicholas De La Noche-her sister's blood brother, her personal nightmare in a designer suit. Cold-blooded, calculating, and devastatingly cruel, Nicholas forced her hand to seal an alliance between cartels. Now, she wears his ring. Sleeps in his bed. And burns every time he looks at her like he owns her soul. She should hate him. She does hate him. But hate tastes a lot like want and lust when the lights go out. There's something in the way he watches her. Like he's waiting for her to run-so he can chase. Like he wants to ruin her just to see what's underneath the ruins. Like he's been bleeding for her long before she ever said I do. Torn between a past soaked in blood and a future built on lies, Karina is pulled into a deadly game of loyalty, lust, and legacy. When Nicholas is poisoned by someone from her past, a league of deadly assassins and illegal chemists-and the list of enemies starts with her name-she must choose: let him die, or face the truth she swore she'd bury. The past comes roaring back-coated in ash and names she swore never to speak. To save him, she'll have to go back to the shadows. To the place she became a ghost. To the truth that might destroy them both. A dark, erotic romance about knives, bloodlines, and the kind of love that feels like war.

The Only Logic I Follow
Gemini is the FBI's dark, highly-decorated lead field agent. Driven by rigid protocol and a need for certainty, he has built his career on being dark and broody-an imposing force of physical control. When a catastrophic national data breach occurs, he's ready to hunt. Fourth is the Bureau's brilliant, controversial hacker, known for his quick-witted mind, sassy mouth, and utter disdain for authority. He's disliked by his peers but is the only asset capable of cracking the code. They are forced together on the same task force. In the high-pressure, forced proximity of the bunker, their rivalry immediately ignites. Gemini despises Fourth's chaotic arrogance; Fourth mercilessly mocks Gemini's predictable "brute force." But as the investigation accelerates, their professional hostility melts into a volatile, undeniable attraction. Fourth's superior intellect forces the dark and broody agent to surrender his pride, and in return, Gemini's unwavering protection forces the sassy hacker to reveal the fear beneath his façade. When the case becomes lethal, Gemini must decide if he can abandon the logic that defined his life and follow the only logic that matters: the messy, brilliant, and undeniable heart of the man he was supposed to hate. An intense enemies-to-lovers romance where the greatest risk isn't in the field-it's in the supply closet.Complete
