Now, torn between fear of the unknown and the strength of a bond that calls her beyond reason, Cassie must decide whether to accept her role as the Last Luna, the only one capable of rekindling the wolves' future... or to run, even knowing that to deny the call could mean the end of all.

Their secret, passionate nights ended the day her mother caught them together and destroyed him, framing him for rape, forcing Flora to testify, and sending him to prison for twenty-five years. Years later, Flora is a failing university heiress drowning in panic attacks, anonymous stalker threats, and a forced engagement to a billionaire heir. Then Dr. Adrian Stafford walks into her math lecture hall: no longer the boy she loved, but a billionaire CEO, ruthless Don of the Wolves mafia, and her new private tutor.

Cassandra Wolfe; A lone wolf.

Literally.

Her one and only friend was... well, her inner self; more to the point, her inner wolf Evangeline, who loved to regale Cassie with Greek mythology stories, and fairytales about werewolf packs far, far away. Being that she lived in a big city where no other people ever mentioned transforming into a wolf, Cassie didn't believe Eva's stories. Further, being that she had never encountered another like her, she opted to alienate herself from the rest of the world, lest they find out the truth about her genetic aberration and find herself in a psych ward – or worse, a laboratory in Area 51.

Enter Braden Hunter, Alpha of the Bloodstone Pack, whom she meets by chance on an ominous, dark and stormy night. Their eyes meet… and after a moment of shock they knew what they were meant to know.

They were mated.

Braden knew he was looking at the one whom the Moon Goddess had hand-picked out for him; the one that was to elevate him in every possible way by merely existing in his life.

Cassie, on the other hand stood wide-eyed and flabbergasted, gasping the first words that popped into her mind.

“Oh, fuck.”

Book One: The Romance Author's Matchmaking

Micaela Dawson was no stranger to the subtleties of the human mating call - if anything, she was an expert; after all, she built a long and successful career on them. When she agreed to meet her commitment-phobe godson/nephew, Chris Ericson after finding out he went through another one of Seattle's young ladies, she had every intention of sharing her scalding opinion of his lothario behavior by reminding him he wasn't getting any younger. However, as she approached the glass storefront of A Steamy Love Affair Coffee Shop, she noticed the hunt of the wild happening right before her eyes.

There was a moment, just a mere moment of fascination in this new young lady's eyes as she glanced up to see her nephew from the opposite side of the table. Unfortunately, Micaela quickly noticed the hideous hungry, wolfish grin on her godson's face. Lord knows what attracted women to that look when it was clear as day that look said nothing more than, 'You! Me! Bed! Now! Grr!'

Once she noticed the moment was not going to progress, she walked into the shop, going straight to the young woman that captured the attention of her wannabe playboy nephew. Her name was Persephone, like unwilling bride of Hades. The fact that she didn't hesitate to share her table in a crowded shop was a good sign. Mentioning that Micaela had been her favorite author once upon a time was good for the ego but hearing that she was not looking for a relationship - well, Micaela had yet to decide if that was good or bad.

When Persephone's early departure clearly put a kink in her godson's nefarious intentions toward his new potential victim, his disappointment was palpable. Micaela quickly began to plot like she did in when she was in front of her computer creating new worlds filled with love.

On one hand, there was a beautiful young woman not interested in love... and on the other, a handsome young man who desired her but was not considering settling down any time soon.

Her days of writing romance novels may be over, but her days of playing matchmaker may have just begun, as it seems nature just leveled up her tools and her arena in a most dramatic fashion!

Persephone was adamant that she didn't want a child- not right now and maybe not ever, but Micaela had to insist, after all, she was the only woman that could tame Chris and she was twenty-nine years old, an age just ripe for procreating!

For a moment, Micaela thought all hope would be lost, until Chris caught baby fever. From then on, those two kept coming up with creative ways to change the other's mind and although Micaela was on Chris's side, she loved witnessing the chaos from sidelines.
