Freyja knew Ragnarök was coming. She needed to ensure those left behind would be protected. “Hear me now. The gods continue to argue amongst themselves even as Ragnarök approaches. I bestow upon you three the gift of transfiguration. From beast to man, you and your descendants will be able to shape shift at will. Live among the people as human, calling upon your shifted form to lend you strength when it is needed. Watch over my people and see they do not perish from this earth.”

Meet the men and women of the Syndicate Masters: La Cosa Nostra. Their motto is family honor above all. They vow to protect their clans, and live by an oath of honor and loyalty. The men are gorgeous, dangerous beasts seeking their fated mates. The women they love are bold and brilliant. Their love blazes bright and hot.

The Syndicate Masters were assigned as Guardians by a priestess many centuries ago. She gathered the last of her magick, mixed it with the prairie winds, and blew into her hand, releasing the guardians. To the north, the spotted leopard was dispatched; to the south, the noble striped tiger; and in between the two, the great maned lion.

In the next few weeks, I’m opening a luxury casino featuring a roulette wheel that once belonged to the Marquis de Sade. Bonding dreams with my fated mate has been an unexpected delight and has revealed the truth of who she is. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! She is neither panther nor human; she’s a sexy fox-shifter with a nasty temper and a rebellious streak a mile wide. Turning her is forbidden and she’s determined to fight me. But what do I care? I love a challenge, and if it’s illegal, so much the better.

The bust had gone down like clockwork. Moving through the deserted warehouse she found a set of stairs that led down. She heard a haunting sound coming from the depths of the building. Taking a deep breath, she descended a set of stairs and rounded a stack of metal cages. There, chained to the floor with heavy iron links, was a dragon. A real-life, scaled, and winged dragon.

When the Rift cracked open, allowing the creatures of the Pacific Rim folklore—the Cherufe—to escape their fiery prison, three dragon queens rose again to seek out new women with whom to bond. But their power alone may not be enough to save the world from destruction. Enter three women who will soon become part of this ancient conflict. With the fate of the world in their hands and the lives of every living being depending on them, they and their fated mates must make the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect each dragon queen and stand against the forces of evil.

So why does she feel drawn to Asher, the know-it-all US Forest Ranger telling her she can’t make her climb?

Once more, a malevolent presence threatens wolfen society. They say my love story with my fated mate, Darby, ended with my death, but they were wrong. They say my eldest son, Jean-Edouard, is nothing at all like me. They are wrong about that as well. They say a lot of things, but I will prove them wrong.
