Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome

Vivienne Wren

“You’re looking for good in a bad man. That’s a dangerous thing to do.”

Zara is trapped, tied, and desperate to escape. The men holding her are ruthless, but it’s their leader who unsettles her most. He’s sharp, cold, unreadable—and the only one she can’t look away from. Every stolen glance chips at her resolve, every dangerous word pulls her deeper into the storm. She knows it’s reckless to search for softness in someone built of shadows, but her heart won’t listen. The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?

Drawn into a glittering world where loyalty is fragile and trust is earned the hard way, Elizabeth feels the pull between her instincts and her heart.

Kelsie Tate

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

The air caught in her lungs as their eyes met, a spark flaring in the depths of his gaze.

“Mate.”

When Autumn Blackthorne’s parents die, leaving behind a mountain of debt, she is forced to become an indentured servant to the fearsome King Elijah. When she meets the king himself, her inner wolf screams that she has met her mate. But can the alpha king ever see her as more than a maid?

Farris, an alpha raised to see mutts as a weakness, is everything she is not—powerful, respected, untouchable. But fate has other plans. When they discover they are destined mates, their worlds collide. Can they defy centuries of prejudice, or will their bond break before it begins? And when an ancient enemy rises, will they stand together—or fall apart?

Lost Lycan's Mate

A. K. Glandt

I stared in awe at the beautiful creature before me.

A Lycan, here in my Pack. This couldn’t be happening.

The Lycans were driven extinct centuries ago. Yet here he was, and I couldn’t fight the magnetic pull dragging me toward him.

He took a step closer to my father, who was standing protectively in front of me. “You have something of mine, and I want it back.”

“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.

The Lycan looked straight at me.

“My mate.”

Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.
