Alpha Malik

Alpha Malik

Midika Crane

I take the paper my best friend Alexa shoves in my face. A picture of the Alpha of Love is printed there in color. He looks dashingly handsome, despite the things everyone knows he does. He’s desperate to find his mate, so he’s having a competition to see who will become the next Luna.

“If I do it, will you finally shut up?” I ask.

Alexa claps happily. “A million times, yes!”

Little did Aria know what she signed up for. In the Hunger Games of love, can she come out the victor?

Shadow

Shadow

Ophelia Bell

When darkness falls, will Hallie fall too?

The whole reason Hallie even joined this expedition into the temple hidden deep inside the Sumatran jungle was to escape her demons. Yet the moment she arrives, the temple seems hell-bent on revealing every uncomfortable truth she’s fought so hard to keep hidden—and determined to plunge her into darkness once more.

But this darkness is of another kind. One whose phantom caress leaves Hallie panting for release in the middle of the night, only to awaken chasing shadows.

It’s not enough for just Hallie to awaken, though. She soon learns that she’s meant to awaken others—dragons, no less—by giving herself to the half-man, half-beast whose intense gaze and erotic ministrations truly redefine tall, dark, and handsome.

The darkness she faces now could chase away her own and finally give her a reason to stop running, but only if Hallie can learn to embrace the shadows.

"You want to be my Luna and bear my pups? We'll see if you have what it takes." I growled low facing a very naked and determined Alison.

Under the Blood Moon’s primal call, they’re both pushed to confront their deepest instincts and desires.
