Creatures of the Dark Series

Katarina K.

Colette got more than she bargained for when she walked into the woods searching for a wolf to take a picture of for her nephew. She merely wanted to be able to say she put in a valid effort. She never meant to find an injured man in an empty cabin in the middle of the woods. But then she gets to know this mystery man. She may have found her wolf after all.

Age Rating: 18+

Rayne

Rayne

J. R. Vonn

Rayne Slater is a bounty hunter for hire, and she’s used to trouble. But when three shifters barge into her office demanding her cooperation, she’s thrown back into a world she’d vowed never to return to.

Rayne is soon embedded in a pride of lion shifters—including handsome, alluring Reese Donovan. Ghosts from the past awaken to plague Rayne’s dreams, and a secret about herself is in peril of being revealed. One event after another leaves her life spiraling out of control.

Everything is on the line, and she knows she might not make it out alive.

Storm clouds are brewing, but Rayne isn’t going down without a fight.

Breath of Innocence

Breath of Innocence

Ophelia Bell

Camille never believed she could capture the attention of the object of her desire, the gorgeous, irreverent geologist, Eben. Now she is over the moon with happiness at being adored not only by him, but the Dragon Guardian, Roka, who she awakened during the Ritual with her virgin blood.

But when a black dragon, a Shadow named Rafe, shows up unannounced and in dire need of help, their perfect trio is forced to split. Without the Guardian’s balancing influence, Camille and Eben find themselves at odds over their new mission: rejoining Erika to help locate the lost fragment of the Verdanith, the magical artifact that will enhance dragon fertility and allow Camille to conceive Roka’s child.

There are secrets being kept even among their close-knit group, and the only dragon Camille trusts to be honest with her is thousands of miles away on a separate secret mission. Even Eben’s uncharacteristic silence worries Camille, but she can’t seem to get through to him.

Will she and Eben be able to overcome their differences and find their way back to the love they first shared? Will their idyllic trio be reunited after Roka completes his mission?

Savanah: A Lycan's Queen Story

Savanah: A Lycan's Queen Story

L. S. Patel

Before Aarya Bedi was named the Lycan’s Queen, another woman pined for her king’s heart. Savanah Willows would have given anything for the godlike king, Adonis Dimitri Grey, to notice her, but he never so much as glanced in direction. All of that changed, however, when Savanah found her fated mate in the last place she’d ever expect… the king’s dungeons. Bradley, the dangerous yet-sexy lycan outcast, waited decades to find his mate and steal the throne. But Savanah was in love with the man he was intent on destroying. Now Savanah must make an impossible choice: remain steadfast in her unrequited love for the king, or forsake the Pack and embrace her destiny in the arms of wolf-kind’s greatest villain.

Niccolite Slater (with S. S. Sahoo)

Xavier Knight is rich, obnoxious, and a troublemaker. To straighten out his image, his father has proposed that I, an innocent twenty-three-year-old virgin, become his bride. Unfortunately for Xavier, his father didn’t exactly do his research. You see, I haven’t been a virgin for a very, very long time. Not to mention, while I might look twenty-three, I haven’t been that age in, oh, 200 years? Xavier might think he owns me, but he has no idea that I bite. I bow to no one, the heir to Knight Enterprises included. They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you. They’ve got all that terribly wrong. Xavier, I’m coming for you. Your games are over. And when all is said and done, you will definitely be the one hurting. Because it ain’t gonna be me.
