She ran to escape control. They want to give her freedom wrapped in love. Lydia never wanted the life her family planned for her—an arranged bond with a prestigious Alpha pack, where she'd be nothing more than a housewife, an obedient Omega stripped of choice. So she ran. Far from the suffocating traditions and cruel Alphas who sought to cage her, Lydia built a quiet life in a sleepy little town. Armed with scent blockers, suppressants, and sheer determination, she's managed to avoid pack dynamics for years—keeping her head down and her heart guarded.

Vivian has never needed anyone to protect her—especially not an Alpha. As an Omega raised by strong-willed Alpha parents, she runs her late grandfather's flower shop with confidence, standing her ground in a city that expects her to submit. Love isn't on her agenda, and with a string of gruesome murders targeting Omegas, romance is the last thing on her mind. That is, until a disastrous first encounter with an Alpha detective leaves her pinned to the ground in a funeral home.

I’m broken. A fractured omega with no value. A shell of my former self, but I found the strength to escape. Now, I’ve started over. New life. New identity. Then they appear. Four white knights who promise to protect me and love me despite my scars. A sweet beta and three fierce alphas. They make me feel safe. Cared for. When the past comes calling, will they still be by my side?

It was supposed to be my first summer on my own, but then I meet Seth, Axel, Jasper, and Cody. There's something about them that drew me closer, and they seemed hell-bent on protecting me. I didn't think I needed protecting until people started showing up dead in the woods.

I’ve found myself in a town full of shifters. Shifters I never wanted to be around ever again. My blood sings being surrounded by my own kind. But they aren’t my kind. I’m a half breed who can’t shift. Useless.

For years I’ve been told I’m not your typical omega. That I’m less because of the way I behave and think. It wasn’t until I met them that I knew I was worthy of love. Noah. James. Lucas. They rush in and capture my heart with their easy temperaments, and smooth words. Add in a cowboy twang and a few well placed Darlin’s and I find the walls around my heart knocked down. Will they still love me, even when they find all my hidden scars? They have their own secrets. Ones that might collide with mine and send us on a dark path.

Changelings are well known in lore. Fae take the human child and leave their own behind. But nobody has told the story of what happens to the human child taken. My name is Amelie le Fae and I am a human changeling. High King Oberon declared long ago that changelings had to marry and stay within the realm. I’m a bit of a different case. I was born a witch and being brought to the underground realm only increased the potency of my magic. Unfortunately, Oberon had a clause ready for changelings like me. Upon our 300th birthday, we must be bound to no less than three mates.

I've lived in the shadows. Now I have the chance to escape from them and start over. My cousin and best friend sent me to Alaska to get away from my family. A fresh start. I should have known my past wouldn't let me go that easily. As I fight to overcome it, deadly secrets are revealed. I may not survive. Can I manage to be happy? Three infuriating men seem to think I can, even though I've rejected them. Will the shadows finally consume me?

They're offering me a chance to play a game. A game that will allow me to live out my deepest, darkest fantasies. It's like an escape room, I'm told. Except the stakes are much higher. Fail to escape, and I'll be punished. Escape, and there will be predators waiting for me. I can run, but when they catch me, I'll be at their mercy.

I was always told growing up in my family, surrounded by magic, that I was a dud. I had no power except the ability to talk to ghosts. It never bothered me because I enjoyed my job as a bartender at my uncle's bar that caters to the supernatural community. I spend my nights working and getting to flirt with my crush. Then one night, my life turned upside down. Someone was murdered right around the corner and suddenly a hot wizard detective with a perfect bubble butt from MEPA, The Magical Entity Protection Agency, swooped in and asked for my help with the victims' ghosts.

Alissa and Reith are determined to make the dangerous journey back to the capital with vital information. All they have to do is cross an unstable swamp inhabited by giant eels and carnivorous plants, get past the enemy slave camp on the coast, and somehow make it across the ocean to Pangaea without getting captured. The sinister threat already implanted deep in Reith’s history could make the task impossible, but if they can learn each other’s skills and work together, they might have a chance.

The aftermath of a deadly battle in the desert sparks a power struggle at the heart of Irithen’s military leadership. It will take everything Alissa and Reith can do to avert a disaster that would lead to their ultimate defeat.

Maria Reyes has fought all her life, to graduate high school on time, to go to college, to get the degree she's always wanted. Yet she still wants more; she wants to go back to school and become a nurse in order to help even more people and, to that end, she’ll show up at her ma and pa pharmacy job and get by day to day.
