The Hybrid Trials Book 1

by Jen Cooper

Mackenzie agreed to the trial out of desperation. The $50K was worth the risk—even if the drug could kill her.

The scientists said the pheromone created raw, uncontrollable lust. She’d be sealed in with a stranger for 12 weeks.

She thought she was ready.

Until HE walked in.

The Alpha who left her broken years ago. Who rejected her from the pack for being a hybrid. He was as dangerous as she remembered.

But his eyes had a brand new blaze of heat. “Looks like fate’s got a twisted sense of humor.”

The Arrangement

The Arrangement

by S. S. Sahoo

He might just be learning something new—like what it feels like when one girl flips your whole game.

But when ruthless King Cazimir takes her across the border, her secret becomes a dangerous weapon. His cursed lands are dying, and only she can break the spell… if he doesn’t break her first. He sees her as a pawn, yet fate has marked her as something far more intimate: his fated mate. Desire coils between them, fierce and treacherous, pulling her toward a man who could either save her or ruin her completely. The closer she gets to him, the more the line between captor and protector blurs—and resisting him may be the hardest battle of all.

by Nooz Aster

After years of enslavement under alien rule, I’ve forgotten what kindness feels like. That is, until I meet Karshok—a towering, horned alien who is nothing like my past captors. Fierce yet protective, distant yet impossibly gentle, he is a contradiction I can’t resist. I should fear him, and part of me still wants to resist, but in his presence, I find the warmth and care I thought I lost forever. Despite everything, Karshok might be the salvation I never thought I’d find. But what will that salvation cost me?

Infinity

Infinity

by Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?
