Corin never belonged to the Silver Stone Pack. As a mongrel born of a human mother, she exists at the bottom of the hierarchy desired, tolerated, and despised all at once. Her only refuge was Glacier, the flawless Alpha whose smile promised hope and whose attention felt like destiny. Corin believed her body and her future would finally belong to someone.
On her eighteenth birthday, Glacier tears off the mask. Instead of a mating mark, Corin receives public humiliation and the truth: he murdered her father. The perfect Alpha is nothing more than a cold-blooded monster. Desire turns to shame. Love turns to blood.
Fleeing into the rain, Corin collapses into the arms of Mason. The Alpha of the Brown Stone Pack is dangerous, tattooed, forbidden. He offers no fairy tales-only protection, vengeance, and a gaze that makes Corin feel something she never has before: wanted. Not pitied. Seen.
As Glacier hunts her down, Mason teaches Corin how to command her body, her power and the hunger burning between them. In the shadows, through forbidden touches and rising tension, Corin realizes the truth:
Her true haven was never in the light.
It was always in the arms of a cruel Alpha.

The Spitfire & The Scoundrel (HC #4)
Matthew Humphrey is a disappointment. He's a lazy, unscrupulous, wastrel who spends too much time in his cups or with a pretty woman in his bed. At least, that's what the Ton believes. Unbeknownst to everyone - including his family - Matt has found a purpose; one that would put more than just his own life at risk if it were discovered! Between spying on the scum that dwell amongst the peerage and maintaining his disastrous reputation, the last thing he needs is a distraction. When the fierce and fiery Beatrice forces her way into his family - her own ambitions hinging on his youngest sister's education - their clash is as predictable as it is intense. The pair find themselves thrown together in a battle of wit and snark, and Bea is certain Matt is little more than a vapid lordling whose carelessness could ruin the life she has built for herself. But as chance and necessity force an unlikely partnership, she begins to doubt that all is as it seems with the youngest Lord Humphrey. As mischief and mayhem give way to vitriol and violence, the spitfire and the scoundrel must choose to trust each other - with their hopes, lives, and true selves - or risk losing everything. ** Book 4 of the Humphrey Chronicles **

A Villain for Christmas (The Holyoake Christmas Series | Book 2)
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!Complete
