Elena was never meant to fall for Lucian...the Beta with a quiet stare and a haunted past. But when a forbidden touch sparks memories of a forgotten childhood bond, everything begins to unravel.
A hidden power awakens in her blood. Her sister is the one who betrayed her. And the Alpha she's meant to serve will do anything to control her… even kill the father of her unborn child.
Torn between fate and freedom, Elena must choose: obey tradition...or burn it all down.

From the moment she was born, she was an anomaly: a wolfless daughter of an Alpha, heir to a pack she could never truly lead. She was destined to rule with her best friend and fated mate at her side, but he shattered her world by rejecting her and siding with tradition. Her heartbreak and humiliation were absolute, leaving her a leader without a pack, an outcast in her own home.
Miles away, a rogue lycan named Reese struggles to survive. Banished by his tyrannical uncle, Kaelen, and betrayed by his lover who was a spy, Reese is a ghost of his former self, a wolf on the run consumed by rage and vengeance. He has lost his pack, his birthright, and his faith in a world that betrayed him.
Their paths cross on the edge of her territory, a chance meeting that awakens a mate bond they both believed was impossible. For her, the bond is a lifeline, a glimmer of hope that she can find a place where she belongs. For Reese, it is a source of confusion and terror, a painful echo of a past he desperately wants to forget about.
As their relationship tentatively grows, they realize they are bound by a common enemy: Kaelen. His thirst for power threatens to swallow not only her pack but all the territories around them. To fight him, she must embrace her unique strength and prove that a leader's power isn't about shifting, but about courage and resilience. As for Reese, he must learn to trust again and let his new mate heal the scars of his past. Their fight for justice becomes a fight for their second chance at love, and they must face down the forces that shattered their worlds to create a new destiny for themselves.

He pressed a finger against my lips.
"Hush."
His hair was still damp from his shower. Falling over his forehead like strands of gold.
He smelled amazing.
Clean skin, whiskey, and something that was uniquely him. Something musky with a hint of rain.
His lips trailed down my body, leaving kisses everywhere they touched. His tongue followed, dragging heat across my skin until he settled between my legs.
My breath caught.
He pressed soft kisses to my inner thighs.
For a moment he simply looked at me.
His gaze lingered over my body. His lips twitched at my shaved pussy.
His lips parted like he was about to say something.
Instead, he lowered his head.
The first touch of his tongue made my entire body jerk.
A helpless sound escaped me. His tongue thrust into me, hungry, needy.
My hips rolled against him automatically.
Like I had no control over my own body anymore.

Look for The Book of Owen and The Book of Jason

Alone and desperate for survival, she encounters Thalor, an enigmatic being who seems to be more than just an alien—he is something far more ancient, powerful, and dangerous.

In a galaxy at war, can a human and a supernatural being find a future together, or will their bond tear them apart?

In Bound Beyond the Stars, love transcends time, space, and species—but it may come at a deadly price.

I stare at him, watching his chest expand.

How is it that someone so strong, so powerful, so dangerous to find become so small when faced with an adversary? The adversary being me.

I see him, knees on the cold tiled floor, his eyes fixated on me in equal parts disbelief. I disconnect my vision from his small form, looking briefly at what I'm wearing.

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining, snow melting on my front lawn. My kids were sleeping, my husband gone, as usual, working, making money.

Everything was normal except when I woke up this morning, I received a message. This message contained a lot of things I've been waiting to hear but one part, in particular, stood out and made today different. This person on his knees in front of me was the big difference in my day. So when I woke up this morning and decided what I was going to wear I decided I would not wear black because black represented the sign of mourning. I wasn't going to wear white. After all, white represented a sign of new beginnings and not blue.

Blue, well blue was a sign of trust and green with a side of healing so when I woke up this morning I decided I would wear beige, it was an indifferent color something that matched any mood any desire any belief it doesn't necessarily represent anything but nor did it negate anything.

'You know what is so satisfying about killing you?"

'What?" He inquires with that tilt of his mouth and thin lips I have seen a time or two. Many women found this man handsome. sexy even. I was not different, but I knew more than many of them what made him, his colors, the layers that fell away leaving only the middle left and when you looked at it with naked eyes you'd see it was rotten.

I laugh.

'I became a player in this cat and rat game much later. I find it comical that I am the one who gets to catch you, considering there are many people who started in the beginning. What is even funnier is I am the one who would get to kill you."

'You didn't catch me Mrs. Catelli."He says my surname with a pinched face as though he can't bear the sound of it coming from his lips.

'Then what do you oppose I did?"

He smiles, but it is not a nice one. It is filled with the ugliness which has corrupted him over the years.

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

"You really intrigue me, Nara," He flashes another smile, but it disappears just as fast.

A confession that makes my cheeks burn.

"I intrigue a lot of people." I try to control my breathing. "Most are always bad."

He shakes his head slowly, not wanting to pry his eyes away from my rising chest. "You intrigue me in a different sense."

"And what sense is that?"

"In the sense that I ask myself... why is it—" His neck bobs as he swallows hard, the tip of his finger now grazing the side of my uncovered thigh."—That I always find myself so drawn to you?"
