Kane Mate Series Book 1: Alpha Ethan

Kane Mate Series Book 1: Alpha Ethan

Holly Prange

A man in all black strikes down and kills one of the innocent, packless men in front of him. I make a flying leap to attack, when I’m hit with an overwhelming scent of vanilla and citrus.

"Mate!" My wolf yells in my head.

What is happening? The unknown man who had been my target spins to face me. We are mere centimeters apart and pain explodes through my stomach. I look down to find a black hilt sticking out of me and crimson spreading out around it. The man drops his hand from the dagger and I look up to meet his eyes. And then everything goes black.

Falling for a Cowboy

Falling for a Cowboy

Jeni Rae D

Five years ago, my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night, breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I’d never fall in love again. I would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my horse ranch. That was until Josie moved to my town, changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process. But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at, and I became jealous whenever Jack, the town’s wannabe cowboy, tried to strike up a relationship with her. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I’d never give—my ticker.

Alpha Kaden

Alpha Kaden

Midika Crane

He suddenly lurches forward, grabs my arm, and pushes me up against the wall, one hand holding my wrists above my head. The other pushes my hips against the wall.

“Don’t play me, Mara! Not when I’m seriously considering either slitting your throat or ripping your clothes off,” he hisses.

His lips are so close to mine that I feel his breath dance on my skin.

He lets go of me and pushes me into my room.

“Punishment starts tomorrow,” he growls.

Mara is not like others in her pack. She isn’t afraid of the cursed hooded alpha who lurks in the shadows. One night, however, as she sleeps soundlessly in her bed, Alpha Kaden himself kidnaps her. He drags her into a world of secrets and evil, far away from everything she’s ever known. Will Alpha Kaden turn Mara into a monster just like him? Or will she help him find the light once more?

Years later, Rory returns to town with a ring on her finger and secrets in her heart. Forrest swore he’d buried his feelings, but seeing her again proves nothing has changed.

His plan is simple and terrifying: keep them close until he crosses the border. The danger escalates when Nataly learns he is not just a criminal on the run, but the crime boss of a ruthless organization. Cold, lethal, and covered in death-themed tattoos, he should be everything she fears. Yet under his control, she feels safer than ever before.

Chaotic Soul

Tristan Harris is the exact opposite: captain of the football team, and the hottest guy in school by far.

Sure, they might despise each other, but it’s a thin line between love and hate.

Unfortunately for Finlay, and her attempt to keep Caden at arm's length, there's nothing Caden loves more than a challenge. The problem with this challenge is she comes with a secret that has the power to destroy everything.

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?
