After breaking things off with my abusive ex, I needed somewhere safe to rebuild my life, and you don’t get any safer than living with a group of protective bear shifters.

She risked her heart to save him once. Now she’ll risk everything to bring him home. Vanessa thought the hardest part was over when she saved Leo, the wounded wolf shifter who stole her heart. But just as their new life together began, danger tore them apart, leaving Vanessa determined to fight for the man—and the wolf—she loves. Leo never intended for Vanessa to become entangled in his dangerous world. Now, held captive by those who see him as nothing but a beast, memories of Vanessa’s gentle touch are his only refuge. He knows she’ll never stop searching, but he fears the price ...

Believe me, I've dated enough of them to know they never turn into Prince Charming. Wayne makes my heart race. And even though I almost screwed everything up between us, I think we have a chance at the fantasy romance I've always dreamed of. That is, if my creepy stalker ex doesn't ruin everything first.

Just because I recognize that Brianna is my fated mate doesn’t mean I have to accept it. If she rejects me, I’ll be free. Easy enough. But every second we’re apart feels like my soul is being shredded. Literally. When the bond goes away, I’ll never have another shot at a mate. I thought I didn’t want one. But Brianna is like no woman I’ve ever known. She’s strong, loving, and an amazing single mom.

Rejection bites...Cal and I were destined to be mates. Until he rejected me. Even though it’s been years, it still hurts like hell. But now Cal’s returned, and he says I’m the only who can help him. He’s convinced someone in my pack was responsible for his father’s death, and they’re endangering his mother. Unfortunately, my big brother isn’t pleased with our little reunion. He’s the pack’s new Alpha after our father died and he’s willing to throw me to the wolves to hold on to his throne. And he’s not the only one who is angry about Cal’s reappearance...

The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

My mate isn't just any woman. She's a witch, the very thing I despise. Kirsten isn't just any witch, though. She's the descendant of the one who cursed me never to know love —and she's oblivious to her true nature. Apart from that, she has a tenacious spirit and a sharp tongue that gets under my skin. Despite her fiery nature, my wolf craves her. And I know I need her by my side for the good of my pack. Yet, earning her trust won't be a simple feat, especially when she regards me with suspicion, viewing me as the proverbial big, bad wolf.

I thought escaping my abusive ex was the only thing standing in between my love for Cole and his son, Noah. But with Cole intent on forming a pack and being an alpha, it spells trouble for us in more ways than one. Anti-lycan groups and pro-wolf extremists are demonstrating together to protest interspecies relationships. I’m sick of being caught in the middle and am beginning to think seriously about becoming a shifter.

I swore to protect my fated mate, but now Liza is gone. She’s been kidnapped, and when I discover who is responsible, I’m determined to rescue Liza and make them pay. Except the identity of her captor raises more questions about the secrets in Liza’s past, which are darker and deadlier than any of us imagined. And even if the rescue is successful, that doesn’t mean Liza is safe. With our old nemesis Castro continuing to plot against us, we can no longer ignore the truth—he’ll stop at nothing to destroy my family’s empire and use Liza’s powers for evil.

I experience a pull so deep and so undeniable, that when I look up and meet the eyes of a waitress, our gazes lock. Recognition sparks between us. In an instant, I’m sure. This woman is mine. I can tell my parents sense the connection, too. But judging by their expressions, they know something I don’t. Like me, they’re aware she’s special. But the fear in their eyes tells me she’s the last person on Earth they want to be my mate...

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

Returning home to help my sick father and finding out that I’m fated to Blayne Walker must be the universe’s idea of a cruel joke. Especially because the stubborn panther shifter with the hard look in his blue eyes is the reason I left Lily Valley in the first place. Not only did I used to date Blayne’s twin brother, but he also blames me and my family for Sean’s death.

I need people in this town to take me seriously. I’m the only female handyman - er, handywoman - around, and my business depends on it. But the town’s men just won’t listen. Enter Rico. He’s a troublemaker, but he needs a job. Nobody else wants to work for me. It’s perfect. There’s no way I’m falling for the playboy.

I was young and naive when I fell hard for bad boy Grizz, a shifter who was hot enough to melt my good girl heart. Big mistake. Because when good girls are naughty, they end up pregnant. Now I’m back in Forest Heights to care for my aunt with my son Rainer — the son I’ve been raising on my own for nine years because gruff, tough Grizz didn’t believe our baby was possible.

Since discovering I’m not human and come from an ancient line of royal wolves, things have gone from bad to worse. I've had to do battle with the wolf hiding inside me, and I’m the only one who can stop the royals from ending shifter existence.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

War has been declared on the shifter race, and my fated mate and I aren’t the only ones in shock. The news broadcasts are filled with outrage. Shifter activists are already protesting.

But in all the chaos, we missed the signs.

I gathered up my nerve and asked Stefan out only to be rejected. It’s been months, but I can’t stop thinking about him. I’m doing my best to get over it, but fate keeps throwing us together. First, he protects me from a disastrous date gone wrong, then he fixes my car, and he looks at me with such heat that I’m afraid I’ll burn up from the inside.... But looks mean nothing without action, and Stefan still won’t make a move. Not until a strange man comes to town asking questions about my past. I’m no one special, but Stefan’s determined to protect me.

Pretending to be in love with a shifter is dangerous. My sister and I have never gotten along, but she’s adamant she wants me to attend her wedding. The worst part is she’s marrying Tony, who was my high school sweetheart. That’s where Sting comes in. He’s my date for the wedding. When he hears Bridget talking me down - like she always does - he stepped in and offered to be my “boyfriend”.

Anthony was my best friend and the first boy I ever kissed. The first boy I ever loved. I always thought we would be together. Then, he left town, and I never heard from him again. Now, there’s a new doctor at the hospital in the department where I work, and I can’t believe who it is. It’s Anthony.
