Proloog
Een derde kans op een partner is nog nooit gehoord, totdat Astrid Stephnie Jones twee van haar partners verliest en door iedereen wordt gemeden omdat ze geen wolf en geen partner heeft. Ze verliest de hoop op geluk en gelooft dat ze alle tegenslagen die op haar pad komen verdient, maar het lot heeft andere plannen voor haar.

Toen zijn vinger langs mijn keel naar mijn borst gleed, slikte ik.
Ik drukte mezelf nog verder tegen de muur.
"Je hebt geen idee hoe graag ik je bloed nu wil," mompelde hij schor in mijn oor, waardoor er kippenvel op mijn huid verscheen.
"Waarom probeer je het dan niet?" vroeg ik, terwijl ik me van hem afwendde.
"Ik wil je geen pijn doen. Ik weet niet waarom ik je bloed wil. Ik zou walgelijk moeten vinden om het bloed van mijn Partner te willen. Het is tegen mijn natuur om naar je bloed te verlangen," zei hij, maar het leek alsof hij zichzelf tegenhield om dichterbij te komen.
Ik verstrengelde zijn handen met de mijne, plaatste een hand op zijn ontblote borst en hield hem daar.
"Het voelt alsof ik geen hartslag heb," vervolgde hij, terwijl hij in mijn ogen keek, die door het staren naar mij rood waren geworden.
"Maar jij laat me dingen voelen die ik niet eens in woorden kan uitdrukken; jij laat me me levend voelen," voegde hij eraan toe, terwijl hij me bewonderend aankeek.
Ik voelde me plotseling tot hem aangetrokken.
"Probeer je me te overtuigen?" vroeg ik.
"Nee, mijn koningin, dat zou ik niet doen," antwoordde hij geïrriteerd. "Ik kan iedereen om me heen dwingen," zei hij, "maar mijn dwang zal niet op jou werken."
"Alsjeblieft," smeekte ik.
"Alsjeblieft wat?" vroeg hij, zijn handpalm rustend op mijn keel.
"Voed je van mij," zei ik.
"Weet je het zeker?" vroeg hij, terwijl hij me sceptisch aankeek.
"Ja," zei ik, knikkend.
Hij staarde me in de ogen en begon naar me toe te buigen.
Hij nam mijn geur in zich op terwijl hij zijn hoofd in de holte van mijn nek begroef.
Ik kantelde mijn hoofd om hem beter toegang te geven. Hij likte mijn gevoelige plek en streek zijn hoektanden over mijn nek.
Ik schrok toen ik zijn tanden mijn huid voelde doorboren.
Ik beefde terwijl ik een ondraaglijke pijn door mijn lichaam voelde stromen, alsof ik in brand stond.
Het voelde alsof ik naar een onbekende locatie was geteleporteerd. Het was alsof er stukjes kool op mijn lichaam regenden.
Plotseling voelde ik een ijskoude sensatie door mijn arm stromen, wat me echt kalmeerde.
Toen zag ik hem, hij hield me in zijn armen en glimlachte naar me.
"Je kunt het, Astrid. Er is niets wat je niet kunt bereiken," moedigde hij me aan, en ik had het gevoel dat ik terug naar de realiteit werd geteleporteerd, maar de pijn ging niet weg.
Ik zag mijn bruine haar geel worden en daarna wit, en tatoeages begonnen zich op mijn armen te ontwikkelen. Het waren vreemde ontwerpen die ik niet kon begrijpen, maar ze leken een verhaal te vertellen.
Ik zal het later uitzoeken, maar nu is niet het moment om me zorgen te maken over mijn partner, waarvan ik niet eens weet of hij nog leeft.
Ik stond op met mijn mankende gestalte.
"Nee, dit kan niet gebeuren. Onze Koning kan niet sterven," riepen de mensen om me heen uit.
Ik duwde iedereen opzij en haastte me naar mijn Partner, die levenloos op de grond lag.
Ik probeerde hem te schudden, maar hij stond niet op.
Ik schreeuwde en riep zijn naam, maar het was tevergeefs.
Ik werd woedend en liet een grom los die de omgeving deed schudden.
"Je kunt niet aan me sterven," riep ik, en iedereen bedekte hun oren omdat de felheid te veel voor hen was.
Ik was in ontkenning over hoeveel pijn ik had. In plaats daarvan was ik gefocust op mijn dode Partner.
Iedereen hapte naar adem van schrik en vluchtte van me weg toen ik mijn ogen opende.
Ik voelde een golf van energie in me. Terwijl ik om me heen keek, zag ik dat ik een ombré van licht uitstraalde die mijn Partner en mij omringde en ons van de rest van de wereld scheidde.
Het leek mijn energieën uit te putten, en ik had het gevoel dat mijn leven uit mijn ziel werd getrokken.
Al snel zakte ik naast hem op de grond.

To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.
For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.
Thrust into a world of high-stakes lies and feral attraction, they must navigate rival families and their own explosive chemistry.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.

Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?

Fresh out of high school and suffocating in her dead-end hometown, Margot longs for her escape. Her reckless best friend, Cara, thinks she's found the perfect way out for them both - The Prisoner Project - a controversial program offering a life-changing sum of money in exchange for time spent with maximum-security inmates.
Without hesitation, Cara rushes to sign them up.
Their reward? A one-way ticket into the depths of a prison ruled by gang leaders, mob bosses, and men the guards wouldn't even dare to cross...
At the centre of it all, meets Coban Santorelli - a man colder than ice, darker than midnight, and as deadly as the fire that fuels his inner rage.

Will Margot be the lucky one chosen to help reform him?
Will Coban be capable of bringing something to the table other than just sex?
What starts off as denial may very well grow in to obsession which could then fester in to becoming true love…

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.

Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”
As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.

The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
