Learning to Love... Book 1: Shade

Learning to Love... Book 1: Shade

by M. L. Knight

Shade Mallory has spent her life cast aside, cursed, and treated as nothing more than a servant in her own pack. Hope feels like a cruel joke—until Alpha Caelan Kendrick opens his Choosing Ceremony to outsiders. Pressured to find a mate, he’s resigned to duty over destiny. But when Shade steps into his world, fate refuses to be ignored. Sparks fly, secrets stir, and a bond neither expected begins to form. Yet, with shadows of the past looming and enemies watching, one question remains—will their connection be their salvation or their downfall?

Capture Me

Capture Me

by Daphne Watson

“Spread your legs.” His icy tone left no room for debate.

I let out an involuntary groan as his rough fingers slid inside me, sending goosebumps down my spine. I was already soaking wet for him.

“N-no…,” I begged, coming to my senses.

He leaned in until I could smell the mint on his breath.

“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”

The last thing Katherine expects when she moves to London is to cross paths with billionaire mafioso Xavier Lexington. Powerful, dark, and deadly, he wants Katherine all for himself. But when he steals her away to ravage her body, Katherine is left with one question: Can she escape the ruthless mafia billionaire before he captures her forever?
