How to Find a Mate

How to Find a Mate

Kelsie Tate

Zoey Grey is bright, kind, and beautiful. So why has she been rejected by not one, not two, but THREE mates? To nurse her emotional wounds, Zoey leaves her pack to start a new life for herself, away from wolves. But when Zoey unknowingly crosses into another pack’s territory, she discovers a pack unlike any she’s ever known before: all of the members have lost a mate or been rejected by one. And their alpha is none other than Lincoln, a fellow teacher at her school. Once Lincoln discovers Zoey’s past, he convinces her to join the pack. But as Zoey and Lincoln grow closer, they each begin to envision a life where they aren’t mateless after all. There’s only one problem. The Alpha is not allowed to have a mate.

The third ritual awaits. But are twin lovers double the pleasure, or double the trouble?

After losing his twin brother, Dimitri has felt adrift in the world. Joining this expedition to find an elusive dragon temple seemed a far-fetched fantasy, but a much-needed distraction nonetheless. Little did he know that the real fantasy was waiting for him inside. Now, doused in dragon magic, his passions have been stoked, and the naughty details of the ritual he keeps hearing about lure him into a chamber where he’s faced with an impossible choice.

Two golden idols stand ready for his attention, each embodying half of Dimitri’s most intimate desires. Together, they form a whole—one he has been searching for even more desperately than he has this ancient locale.

The terms of the ritual dictate he can only choose one. Breaking the rules might lead to his downfall … or to an ascension into pleasure beyond his wildest dreams.

But when her father forces her to attend the ball, she meets Vladimir Karatza, King of All Vampires, and their attraction is undeniable. He instantly claims her as his mate, but Amelia is resistant, her secrets and pain causing her monster inside to appear and drive a wedge between anyone who tries to get close. But Vladimir is determined to do anything so he can conquer her hardened heart, that is until her secrets lead him deeper into danger and reveal a past he knew nothing of, one that lays bear the power behind Amilia’s captivating sapphire eyes that, like her, he can’t resist.
