His Nerd

by Sir Ellious

Ava Darling may be a nerd, but she can’t wait to leave high school. On a good day, her fellow students ignore her; usually, they tease her. It’s just one more year though. Then she can move on to university and a fresh start. Unfortunately, a cruel prank puts Ava dead in the sights of school bad boy Hunter Black, who comes to her with a bizarre proposal. The two couldn’t be more different, but if they team up, they might find that secretly—very secretly—they have more in common than they think!

The Wolfsbane Rogues Book 1: Alpha Marius

by Michelle Torlot

Marius built his power through grit and ruthless choices. Loyalty is his law, and he always protects his own—or so he tells himself. But the one person he failed still haunts him: Tasha, the girl who went to prison at thirteen to protect him. Now, after five years behind silver bars, Tasha is free… but not forgiven. She’s wolfless, furious, and standing in front of the Alpha who once left her behind. The pack smells blood, the council smells weakness, and Marius can’t decide if he wants to make amends—or claim the fire that’s always burned between them. Power. Passion. Payback. It’s all about to erupt.
