by Natalia Ava

Betrayal is an ugly thing and can lead to a person becoming more heartless if they were not so before.

What could possibly go wrong when she imprisons a handsome rival and gives him 48 to live? How much will Alessio Romano change her feelings? Will she find the truth about the one thing that she fears the most?

by L. S. Patel

Before Aarya Bedi was named the Lycan’s Queen, another woman pined for her king’s heart. Savanah Willows would have given anything for the godlike king, Adonis Dimitri Grey, to notice her, but he never so much as glanced in direction. All of that changed, however, when Savanah found her fated mate in the last place she’d ever expect… the king’s dungeons. Bradley, the dangerous yet-sexy lycan outcast, waited decades to find his mate and steal the throne. But Savanah was in love with the man he was intent on destroying. Now Savanah must make an impossible choice: remain steadfast in her unrequited love for the king, or forsake the Pack and embrace her destiny in the arms of wolf-kind’s greatest villain.

Having been made the laughing stock of her hometown by her cheating ex-fiancé, Investigator Markie Pearson has sworn off overly-confident, good-looking men. When Bryce Hawk strolls into town, Markie quickly realizes he's the classic example of a man she needs to keep at a distance. Ex-Marine Bryce Hawk moves to small-town Wisconsin after his military career-ending injury. All he wants to do is hide in his mundane job as the city's code enforcer while he sorts out his life. What Bryce doesn't account for is Markie, that emerald eyed beauty, walking through his office door on day one. Too bad it's too, late. Women are not in his plans, nor will they ever be...especially Markie, the one who gets his dormant juices flowing while irritating him at the same time. When the municipal code violators that Bryce is investigating are murdered, Bryce becomes Markie's number one suspect. Or, is he another target? Is she? Will this damaged cop and wounded vet overcome their inner demons in order to work together to escape the claws of death and perhaps find love in the process?
