Prepared to be satisfied...at last. Sometimes a plumber is just a plumber.

I had it all—a thriving career, the big city lights… until I received a call just three weeks before Christmas. My Nana. She's sick. And I have to return home to take care of her. I swore I would never go back to Silverpine—not after they broke my heart. Shepard, Robin, Frost… They were my Alphas— my scent matches. We were meant to be together, but they pushed me away because they were afraid that I would break their hearts, just like their mother had. But now they tell me they've changed—that letting me go was the biggest mistake of their lives.

My whole life, I have been starved. Starved of love and starved of affection. My caretaker, Francis, refuses to touch me, and he makes me feel as worthless as dirt. The only love and affection I've ever found are inside the pages of the books he gives me. At least those books make me feel less alone—less starved. They give me hope that I'll find love of my very own one day.

He found me again. And this time, he will never let me go… Francis gave me two choices. Return to his side, and he will leave the pack alone. Stay with them, and he will do everything in his power to make them suffer. The choice was easy in the end… At least no one else will have to get hurt...

That the FBI have been following her since Mississippi. That she has brutally murdered two women. College girls, who look just like her. Two more are missing, and one survived. Reeta recalls nothing. She cannot answer their questions; all the things they want her to explain are no more familiar to her than the prison she is taken to.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Me. I am very much afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, like any human with a healthy sense of self-preservation would be.

I damned myself to save Angelo. One desperate deal with a demon lord, and now I'm dragged into the depths of Hell itself. But my vampire king's last words burn in my soul: Stay alive, and I will find you.

My only defense is the volatile magic in my blood—a power caught between Heaven and Hell that could either save me or consume me.

Lottie is a wizard when it comes to data retention and storage. When it comes to her personal life? Not so much. She is clumsy and often gets stuck in her own head.

Especially when the truth about them leads to discovering a deep, long-hidden secret about myself. They aren't who they appear to be...but neither am I.

The one constant lesson in my life is to fight. Fight for survival, fight for my family, fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. What happens when family stops fighting for you? What do you do when they just give you away, handing you over to the devil himself? I guess this is where all that training takes hold. This is where the test begins. I was born and bred to win. There is no other option in my mind. Sometimes, though, you have to know when to stand and fight and when to lie low and bide your time. Lying low wasn’t easy, but in doing so, I found something else, something new.
