Under the silver glow of the moon, the county’s thieves know one thing for certain: you don’t cross the farm where Old Sam stands guard. With a black coat that shimmers in starlight and a bark that rolls like thunder, he’s more than a dog—he’s a sentinel. Fierce enough to send intruders running, yet gentle enough to rest quietly at the bedside of his sick owner, Farmer Lilly, Old Sam embodies both strength and devotion.
When late-night trespassers come creeping under the cover of darkness, they expect an easy target. What they find instead is Old Sam—unyielding, unspoken, a shadow of protection that will not falter.
This is the tale of a guardian whose loyalty runs deeper than fear, whose silence speaks louder than words, and whose watchful presence turns one humble farm into sacred ground.

Bound By Moonlight
Before the forest found her, Rachel knew only fear. Trapped in a life marked by control and cruelty, she escaped into the wilderness with nothing but her will to survive. She thought she was running from a man - but the truth waiting beneath the trees was far older, and far more powerful. In the deep woods ruled by silence and shadow, she meets Jackson, a man burdened by his own ghosts and the wild blood that ties him to the land. He sees the strength she's forgotten, the fire beneath her scars. Yet the closer they draw to one another, the more the forest begins to stir - as if awakening to a secret it has long kept buried. As the boundaries between human and wolf blur, Rachel must face not only the darkness around her but the one that has always lived inside her. And Jackson must decide whether love can truly heal what violence once broke. Together they confront a past written in blood, a present forged in trust, and a future the forest itself will bear witness to. Years later, with the scars of war behind them and a child's laughter filling the air, peace finally settles over the land. But the moon still rises - bright, watchful, remembering. Because some bonds are eternal. And some hearts are forever bound by moonlight.Complete

He's My Mate

I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again.

But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special.
