Learning to Love... Book 1: Shade

Learning to Love... Book 1: Shade

by M. L. Knight

Shade Mallory has spent her life cast aside, cursed, and treated as nothing more than a servant in her own pack. Hope feels like a cruel joke—until Alpha Caelan Kendrick opens his Choosing Ceremony to outsiders. Pressured to find a mate, he’s resigned to duty over destiny. But when Shade steps into his world, fate refuses to be ignored. Sparks fly, secrets stir, and a bond neither expected begins to form. Yet, with shadows of the past looming and enemies watching, one question remains—will their connection be their salvation or their downfall?

Kidnapped by My Mate

Kidnapped by My Mate

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, baby,” he whispered.

He brought my earlobe into his mouth and bit down softly. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that. So I kept my eyes shut.

“Hmm... I know you're awake, Belle.” He kissed my neck. “We're playing pretend, are we? Okay, let's play.”

I wasn't in the mood for games. Well, I didn't want to be in the mood, but I also couldn't deny the heat starting to build between my thighs… I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so he could put his body between them.

Belle wakes up in Paris next to a gorgeous stranger in a room she doesn’t recognize. As she examines the man next to her, with the face of a Greek god, she realizes that she doesn’t remember how she got there. Was it an innocent one night stand? Or is the truth far darker?

Hated By My Mate

Hated By My Mate

by Nathalie Hooker

Alpha Wolfgang. He had the body of a god but the soul of the devil.

I should know. I was working at his birthday party the night I sensed my mate.

I was serving guests when suddenly my skin tingled. My heart pounded, and somehow I knew…

My destined mate was here. I turned to search for him. But when our eyes met, my heart stopped.

It was him. Alpha. Fucking. Wolfgang. And he looked furious.

He grabbed my face roughly, hatred in his icy eyes.

“Please, I know you want to reject me,” I trembled. ”Don’t worry. I’ll leave the pack.”

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”

Mason

Mason

by Zainab Sambo

I looked up at him, those stormy grey eyes devoid of emotion. My heart pounded in my chest, my throat dry with fear. He was offering me everything I needed so desperately. But what would it cost me?

“I won’t ask again.”

I closed my eyes and signed away my soul to the most dangerous man in England.

“Anything.”
