My Son's Best Friends

My Son's Best Friends

Mr Writer

Jane is forty-six years old and a divorced mum of two. Alex, her nineteen-year-old son, is home from university for the weekend, and he and his four best friends arrive home to find his mother sunbathing in the garden.

Jane has always had a great relationship with the four friends, and as they turned into young men they had started to tease and flirt with her, each one trying to embarrass her with some innuendo, or risque comment. That weekend seemed like it would be no different - but she was wrong, it would be so different, and things would never be the same again.

Black Moon Pack Book 1: Falling for Storm

Isabel S. Knight

She was pure perfection, and I couldn’t help but utter the words that I had been wanting to say since the day we met. “I love you, Amara. I love you with every fiber of my being. I will serve, protect, and stand by you even through hell. I will both live and die for you.”

Amara’s thrilled for a fresh start at Duke—full scholarship, new city, clean slate. But her plans take a wild turn when she meets Storm, the dangerously magnetic alpha who claims she’s his fated mate. Suddenly, she’s plunged into a world of secrets, power, and supernatural laws she never knew existed. She should run. Instead, she’s pulled deeper. The bond is ancient, the pull undeniable, and Storm? He’d burn the world to protect her. As passion ignites and truths unravel, Amara must decide if she’s ready to step into a destiny she never asked for.

The Wolfsbane Rogues Book 1: Alpha Marius

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.
