Introduction
Enter Lucas—the cocky, sinfully hot hockey Alpha—who claims I’m his mate. But he doesn’t want love; he wants revenge, proposing a fake relationship to rile Ethan. Now I’m stuck sharing a suite with the guy who has secrets of his own. Christmas and New Year on a luxury ship was supposed to be magical…not a steamy, chaotic mess. What could go wrong?

Chapter 1
Aria
It's so fucking beautiful! I spin around in the middle of the suite Ethan booked for us. The luxurious carpet, velvet curtains, sparkling chandeliers—is something straight out of a magazine.
The annual New Year cruise ship tour hosted by my school, Crescent Wolves Academy, is everything I've ever dreamed of but never thought I'd experience.
Me, Aria Whitlock, standing here on a freaking cruise ship? No way. I'm an eighteen-year-old, lowly omega scraping by in a world that couldn't care less about me. But tonight? Tonight, I'm not a nobody.
Nope. Tonight, I'm Alpha Ethan's mate. My Ethan, the future Alpha of the Full Moon Pack, my personal knight in shining armor.
The Moon Goddess must've finally stopped ignoring me.
"Aria, move your ass! We're going to miss the welcome party at this point." Mia's voice yanks me out of my thoughts. She barges in, her wild auburn curls bouncing, looking like a fiery storm in her emerald-green dress. Right behind her is Lily, the complete opposite with her soft, blonde hair and shy smile, rocking a simple blue gown.
They're my best friends… the only ones in the entire damn pack who treat me like a fucking person instead of crap.
"Wow," Lily's blue eyes widen as she takes in the suite. "You and Alpha Ethan's room is so much prettier than ours."
"That's because Ethan wanted me to experience the absolute best," I squeal, practically bouncing on my toes.
Mia gags dramatically. "Ugh, you sound like you're in some cringy rom-com. Stop it before I puke."
"Shut up, Mia," I shoot back, grinning.
She flops onto the bed like she owns the damn place. "Look, I'm just saying, Alpha Ethan better step up tonight. You've been waiting forever for him to stop hiding your ass. If he pulls some crap, I'm kicking his Alpha-wannabe face."
"Mia!" Lily gasps, looking scandalized. "Be nice! This is a big night for Aria."
"I am being nice," Mia shrugs. "Just stating facts. Alpha Ethan's been dragging his feet for months. And I don't know how far I can trust him."
"Stop," I sigh, trying to keep my voice steady. "He promised me, okay? He said tonight, he's telling everyone. It's finally happening."
Mia raises an eyebrow, like she wants to argue, but Lily grabs her arm. "Leave it, Mia. Let Aria enjoy her night."
Mia rolls her eyes but holds her tongue. I turn back to the mirror, fluffing my long black hair and adjusting my floral dress. It's not anything fancy—just the nicest thing I own. Ethan knows I don't care about flashy clothes, and besides, he's already paid for me and my friends to come on this cruise. That's more than enough.
The party hall is like something straight out of a movie. Christmas lights sparkle from every angle. The air smells like cinnamon pine trees. And everyone's dressed to kill.
And I mean everyone. These are the elite kids from all the top werewolf academies. Future Alphas and Betas, their perfectly dressed selves, and their annoyingly perfect lives.
Me, Mia, and Lily? We don't belong here.
"Maybe we should've stayed in the suite," Lily murmurs, her wide eyes darting around the room.
"Nope," Mia says firmly. "We're here, so we're owning it. Stand tall, ladies. Don't let these stuck-up assholes make you feel small."
Lily nods hesitantly. And I try to do the same. But the whispers, stares, and judgmental glares… it's all fucking too much.
"I'm gonna find Ethan now," I throw quickly. "You guys grab some drinks. I'll catch up with you later."
"Good luck," Lily says, her soft smile making me feel a little braver.
"You got this, future Luna," Mia adds with a smirk, but I can tell she means it.
Future Luna. The words make my heart flip.
I wander through the party, scanning the crowd for Ethan. My wolf stirs nervously, the back of my mind itching like something's off. I try to shake it off. Ethan's here somewhere, probably waiting for me.
A few minutes later, I spot his hockey teammates relaxing in a corner and laughing about something... Relief floods me as I approach.
"Hey, guys. Have you seen Ethan?" I manage an awkward smile.
The laughter stops. The way they look at me... Like I'm some fucking crap under their shoes. It makes my skin crawl.
"Why don't you check over there?" One of them nods towards a dark corner of the hall.
The others snicker. All except one.
Alpha Lucas of the Shadow Pang pack.
He's leaning against the wall, arms crossed. His intense gray eyes fixed on me with an unreadable expression. Lucas Russo, captain of the hockey team. Notorious playboy, and Ethan's arch enemy. He doesn't laugh or smile… just looks at me like he knows something I don't.
My wolf, Gail, shifts uncomfortably under his gaze. But I ignore her. "Thanks," I force a smile, turning toward the corner.
I make my way through the crowd, my stomach suddenly twisting in knots.
And then I see him.
Ethan.
My Ethan… his hands are on Vanessa, the Academy's head cheerleader, most popular girl in school, and my personal nightmare. One hand gripping her ass… squeezing it, the other hand fondling her boobs as he kisses her like she's the air he needs to breathe.
My heart fucking shatters.

Goddess Of The Underworld.
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armor, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
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.
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.
Although Austin 'Booker' Carver is enamored by the innocent Dani, he tries to keep the police chief's daughter at arm's length. But when a threat is made from an unexpected source, he finds himself falling hard and fast for the only woman who can tame his wild heart.
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?
My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.
Oh, goddess!
Apphia's life is harsh, from being mistreated by her pack members to her mate rejecting her brutally. She is on her own. Battered on a harsh night, she meets her second chance mate, the powerful, dangerous Lycan Alpha, and boy, is she in for the ride of her life.

What? No—wait… oh Moon Goddess, no.

We turn the corner, and the scent hits me like a punch to the chest—cinnamon and something impossibly warm. My eyes scan the room until they land on him. Tall. Commanding. Beautiful.
And then, just as quickly… he sees me.
His expression twists.

Fangs, Fate & Other Bad Decisions
After finding out her boyfriend cheated, the last thing she expected was to stumble across a wounded man in an alley. And definitely not one with fangs.

Now, she’s stuck with an overprotective, brooding bloodsucker who keeps rescuing her, a growing list of enemies who want her dead, and an undeniable attraction that’s making it very hard to remember why falling for a vampire is a terrible idea.
Because if she’s not careful, she won’t just lose her heart—she’ll lose her humanity.
