Kane (2025) is a poignant and gripping tale set against the backdrop of a world in turmoil. In 1999, the quiet town of Havenbrook, Pennsylvania, is home to the loving Ace family-Alistair, Marissa, their eight-year-old son Kane, and their loyal dog, Rusty. Their peaceful life is abruptly shattered when the United States is invaded by Russian forces, plunging the nation into chaos and war. Alistair dies heroically in the line of duty, while Marissa and Rusty perish in a devastating explosion that leaves Kane as the sole survivor.

As the world criticises President Donald Summers for his relentless fight against the Russians, Kane fiercely defends the president's stance, creating tension with his new foster family. Feeling misunderstood and isolated, Kane runs away, seeking a way to join the fight and honour his parents' memory.

Life on the streets of London is harsh and unforgiving. Kane falls in with a group of older boys involved in drugs and crime, his health and spirit deteriorating as he navigates a world filled with violence and addiction. By the age of thirteen, Kane's obsession with the escalating global conflict fuels his anger and despair, leading him down a dark path from which he may never return.

Kane (2025) is a compelling story of a young boy's journey through unimaginable loss, survival on the streets, and the relentless search for justice and belonging in a world torn apart by war. This novel explores the depths of human resilience, the scars of conflict, and the enduring hope for redemption.

She never took anything for granted and never refused an opportunity. When her parents left, her pack labeled her as an omega and made sure she was constantly bullied day in and day out. Maddie always stays in the shadows, ignores anyone who tries to make fun of her, and never speaks unless spoken to. Her pack abuses her daily and with them being the second largest and second strongest pack in America, no one is willing to stand up for her. That all changes when she meets her mate - who just so happens to be none other than Ashton Kane. 21 year old werewolf, Ashton Kane is the most respected yet feared person in America. Being the Alpha of the strongest pack in America gives him the respect anyone would dream of while also being able to make another Alpha back down without a question. The only problem? He doesn't have his mate. He's given up on the hope of finding his mate, with it being 4 years longer than most people find they're mates he doesn't believe his is out there anymore.

Or will he walk away like everyone else? *WARNING* this book does contain mature content and strong language so if you're not comfortable with either of these I suggest not reading this book!
