Safeguarded

Piper Sullivan

Fiona is supposed to be safe in his hands—hidden away, watched over, and kept far from the danger stalking her. He is the man trusted to protect her, loyal to the friend who asked for his help. But Fiona isn’t the girl he remembers. She is grown, bold, and determined to close the distance he tries so hard to keep. One look, one touch, and every rule he built begins to wobble. He wants to resist, yet her warmth keeps tugging him closer. As enemies close in and secrets rise between them, he struggles with a truth he never expected: the greatest risk may be the way she makes him feel, and the way he hopes she feels in return.

When she accidentally trespasses into the pack lands of King’s Clearing, she is offered a comfortable but sheltered new life; one that comes with a considerable catch. The pack’s alpha king, the handsome but short-tempered Harrison Blackwolf, needs an heir after dismissing his previous mates and asks Kiera to become his new mate. As the couple try to put aside their differences, they soon find that sharing a home — and a bed — is the least of their worries.

Dzenisa Jas

The alphas seated before me bent their heads grudgingly.

They didn't like submitting to a woman. But I was Alpha Queen of All Wolfborn.

Only one man refused to bow, and my furious gaze found him instantly.

He was young. His body looked like it was cut from marble.

His bright eyes stared into my soul, and I felt like lightning had struck.

I knew at once what this meant. Who he was to me.

'Oh, fuck,' I thought. 'This isn't good.'

Centuries before the events of 'Taken By The Alpha,' Artemis Thorne has finally united the Wolfborn in a bloody war. Only the Borderlands Pack still challenges her crown. But what happens when she discovers that her mate is none other than the Borderlands' next alpha?

“Do you always break into women’s bedrooms… or am I special?” 😏 Jasmine screams. Mason smirks. Then he makes an omelet like that fixes everything (it does not. It helps, annoyingly). Before romance bulldozes her schedule, Jasmine is trying to live like a grown woman with boundaries and a locked bedroom door. Too bad Mason has a key, zero shame, and the kind of “I’ll handle it” energy that makes you want to throw a pillow and then keep him. She should hate him—she does hate him—until he’s wiping sauce off her mouth in public like it’s normal, and paying for his mom’s surprise trip like money can silence chemistry. You know that man who acts like he owns the room? Now imagine he’s also your best friend’s son and he keeps touching your back like he forgot his hand is attached. Jasmine laughs it off. Mason plays sweet. Then she steps toward her car and his mom turns her head, loud enough for everyone: “So… when are you going to tell Jasmine you like her?”
