It's 1993, and seven year old Miles Kane is having a tough time of it. His parents' recent divorce is making him feel mixed up and angry, causing him to misbehave. A school trip to see The Opal, an 18th century sailing ship that has come to Liverpool, should be a source of excitement, but alas Miles gets into trouble before he can even step aboard, and he is sent to cool down in a coach designated for troubled children. He encounters a funny-looking little boy being bullied by bigger boys and he feels compelled to speak to him. He discovers his new little friend is called Alex Turner and has come from a school in Sheffield. He's too scared to go on board the ship and has been left alone by his friends. Miles can't explain it in his young brain, but it feels like him and Alex have been friends forever. Alex's fear spurs Miles to be brave and they decide to go onto the boat together. Both little boys are blown away by the huge ship. Miles weirdly feels as though he has been on it before, and when they visit the captain's quarters, they get a huge surprise. Alex and Miles bond instantly, and when the time comes for them to be parted, Miles looks for any excuse to be allowed to go to Sheffield. Alex needs him, and life just wouldn't seem right if Miles wasn't there to look after him.

Control

*Book 1 of The Cursed Ones* Alex Waltz is the son of the most feared and powerful man alive, Lynx Waltz. Born a triple-blooded hybrid; witch, vampire, and alpha werewolf. Alex never stood a chance at blending in. Everyone in the supernatural world hates his father... which means they hate him too. Once surrounded by friends, he's now alone. He's calm, observant, and done trying to prove himself. Theo Branwen is anything but normal, even if that's all he wants to be. As the heir to his pack, he follows a rigid routine designed to keep him in control, because control is the only thing he has left. After his mother died, Theo's father changed into someone cruel and twisted, obsessed with power and control. Now, Theo lives under constant pressure, hiding bruises, and punished for every crack in his perfect alpha mask. And then there's Alex...the one person Theo should stay away from. Theo has hated Alex for as long as he can remember. For years, he joined in as his friends picked Alex apart, piece by piece, bullying him. Then came the summer before senior year. That night, at the party, Theo turned eighteen... and everything changed. He found out the truth: Alex is his mate. Now Theo can't run. Not at school. Not even in his dreams. But Theo doesn't break easily. He has rules. He has to stay in control. Even if it means hurting Alex, again and again. Alex has changed too. He's not the scared, quiet boy who used to flinch when someone looked at him too long. He's colder now. Quieter. Untouchable. And maybe that's what scares Theo the most, because Alex doesn't just walk away anymore. He stares back. He doesn't run. And no matter how far Theo drifts, no matter how much Theo pushes, Alex won't stop... not until he gets what he wants. And what he wants... is Theo. Because what happens when the thing you were taught to hate... is the only thing that can save you?
