It’s him… It has been three years since I last laid eyes on him. The night he shattered my heart into a million pieces. Suddenly, here he is, standing in my bedroom, waiting for me.

Darius. Slowly, he walks up to me. He grabs my face in his hand, pulling me in. His body presses against mine.

“I smell another man on you, Persephone,” he growls.

If a Lycan resists his mate it will destroy him. When Penny finds herself at a party, hosted by the werewolf royal family, the last thing she expects is Darius Ivanovic Rykov. Gorgeous, mysterious, and ever brooding, he can’t take his eyes off of her. Will they give in to their fated bond? Or will they surrender to the darkness?

Reaper's Claim

Reaper's Claim

by Simone Elise

I saw cold fury in his eyes and knew I’d gone too far.

His firm chest pressed into me, his angry heat radiating against my skin. His hands gripped the sides of my face, and then he whispered in my ear.

“If any other man touches you, I’ll kill him. I own you.”

And then his lips slammed into mine.

From the moment Abby first lays eyes on Kade Wilson, he’s as repellent to her as oil to vinegar. Nicknamed The Reaper for his brutish nature, he’s a deadly biker from a rival club. But no matter how much she tries to shake him, every attempt to sever ties ends with her tangled in his sheets, drenched in his sweat. Can Abby quit her addiction to The Reaper before he lays claim to her? Does she even want to?
