Love Bites

L. S. Patel

There isn’t a person alive who doesn’t love Scarlet. She’s young, beautiful, and has the soul of an angel… So it’s shocking as hell when her destined mate turns out to be the heartless and merciless Alpha King. Feared by all—and for good reason—he has returned after seven years to claim what’s his. Will Scarlet be able to break down his walls, or will she end up begging for mercy?

F**k It You're Mine

F**k It You're Mine

Sarie Writes

Amara never plans on getting tangled up with Jace, the kind of guy everyone warns you about with a knowing look and a shake of the head. He is intense, unpredictable, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. At first, she pushes back, holding tight to her independence and refusing to be another story people whisper about. But Jace does not play by rules, especially when it comes to her. The pull between them is fierce, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers, every touch feels charged, and every step away becomes harder than the last. As tension builds and control slips, Amara must figure out where she stands in a connection that feels as thrilling as it is overwhelming.

But her pure-wolf (and pure-snooty) half sister Tessa also has eyes for the dreamboat, and she’s used to getting her way!

Now, food is scarce and the Workers are starving, which is how twelve-year-old Worker Ellie winds up hungry and stranded in werewolf territory. Are werewolves really the fearsome beasts she’s been warned about, or have the Elites been hiding the truth?
