H. Knight

After the death of Estella Grove’s mother, her evil father, Philip, casts Estella out of the Green Grove Pack. She has always believed she was born to walk alone, so when she meets the handsome and powerful Alpha Angelo, she is shocked when her wolf whispers, “Mate.” But she soon learns she can’t run from what the Goddess Moon has destined, and the fact that Angelo can read her thoughts makes their bond undeniable. The two must stop the power-hungry Philip’s far-reaching plans for destruction and fulfill a greater mission if only they can rein their fiery tempers (and passions) long enough.

As betrayals unravel and hidden motives come to light, Faye finds herself caught between the man sworn to protect her and the man who tried to kill her. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, the real danger isn’t the battle—it’s trusting the wrong heart.

Then she meets Max, and suddenly nothing feels quite so simple. There is an easy spark, a pull she did not plan for, and a tension that keeps her coming back for more.

An ancient temple. Seven explorers. And eight dragons to rule them all.

When Erika and her team of archaeologists break the seal on the temple they’ve been hunting, they unwittingly take the first step in a series of rituals designed to revive the long-sleeping denizens inside. Now, with every breath they take, they inhale air steeped in dragon magic—and perfumed with otherworldly, irresistible desire.

Erika wants nothing more than to prove she’s still in control. But when she sets her sights on the figure she is meant to awaken—a red dragon bound in the form of a beautiful man frozen in jade—her resolve is truly put to the test.

And that’s when the ambitious, pent-up expedition leader begins to think: Maybe losing control wouldn’t be so bad, after all…
