It's been nearly three years since Thoreau reunited with his older brother, Emerson. Now, as his 18th birthday approaches, he worries about what will happen if he finds his Goddess-given mate, especially since he’s already in love with his two bestie boyfriends! But the Moon Goddess has a wonderful plan for our precious boy, even if a wolf is the only one who remembers it!

Now officially mates with his beloved bestie boyfriends, Thoreau del Vecchio has achieved his heart’s desire. He still has some issues to work through, but he couldn’t be happier ... until hunters invade and take him hostage. Chaos erupts as Five Fangs scrambles to rescue those who were captured, and Reau’s papa calls on some unlikely allies to get him back.

Thoreau Jones is the darling of the Five Fangs wolf pack. Everyone loves him, especially his new family - including a wolf companion who knows exactly how it feels to lose your other half.

The three boys learn to adjust with what life throws at them, from adding a new family member to starting school, but nothing can prepare them for what happens one night on a full moon run!

I didn’t think I’d ever see you again. Reed’s days are full of unexpected surprises - pretty par for the course as the principal of the only Catholic school in a small town, but there’s one surprise he wasn’t prepared for, and that was Dominic O’Halloran. God help me, I want you. Dominic has spent decades thinking about the life he could have lived.

Thoreau Jones, 15, has had a terrible life since his older brother left Gray Shadows. His parents constantly remind him that it's his fault Emerson took off, just like it's his fault for being "retarded." If only his brain wasn't so broken, Mommy Daddy wouldn't have to "fix" him every day or keep him locked in a cage in the attic. When his parents finally give up on him, they ship him off to Five Fangs with the warning that Emerson will either keep him or kill him. Thoreau knows his brother won't want him and can only hope that his death will be quick.

After years of working my tail off in the music industry, I’ve finally made it: headlining my own tour across Europe. Sure, it’d be great to sing my own songs instead of the stuff my label gives me, but success requires compromise. It also requires a stellar tour team, which is why I know I have to have Mia Sawyer as one of my backup vocalists when I hear her sing. With thousands of women screaming my name on stage every night, it shouldn’t bother me that she doesn’t seem to think much of me. I don’t have time for real relationships anyway.

One thing my childhood taught me was never show my emotions. Don’t make memories. Don’t count on other people. Don’t hope for the best. All that changed when I was adopted by Ryan and Whitney Kepler. Begrudgingly, I let them into my life, along with my new sister and a best friend I would lay down my life for. But giving up my heart and accepting love in return from Kelsea Harrison? It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do. And the truth is? I’m not sure if I’m that strong.

Oliver Rose has been in my life since I was seven. As my brother’s best friend, he was at my house more often than not. And I loved having him around. In fact, I even had a secret crush on him. Even though he was four years older than me, that didn’t stop me from daydreaming. Until I turned seventeen and he broke my heart. I swore I would never interact with him again. And I didn’t. But now, it’s five years later and I’m graduating college and I’m all out of options.

One enormous detail stands between me and my dream of being drafted to the NFL: a valid visa. With my student visa expiring and a past, unfortunate run-in with the law disqualifying me from the one I need, I’ve run out of options. Until I snatch a stranger on the street from being hit by a truck.

Tripp Sharpe and I have been best friends since middle school. And when he moved away to go to medical school and become a doctor? We’ve kept up by texting, phone calls, and every funny reel we come across. I have one simple rule for myself: protect our friendship at all costs—even from myself. But when Tripp moves back to town, I can't ignore the attraction I feel. If it were anyone else, I’d just avoid him. But it's hard to avoid a guy who thinks we're still the same ol' besties we've always been.

Liam Davenport is the most infuriating man I’ve ever known – and he’s my boss. Worse, he’s undeniably sexy. At least until I’m subject to one of his trademark sighs of disapproval.

One entire week with his arrogant smile and my unexpected naughty thoughts.

I never thought that in the blink of an eye my life could change, but it did. Cresting a hill, driving to my favorite fishing spot, I was hit head-on by a teenager with no regard for anyone’s life but his own. The recovery process has been hard, painful, and damn near beating me down. The bright spot? Blaze. Surviving the wreck has given me a second chance to make a life with her. Not knowing if I’ll ever be able to rejoin the Moonshine Task Force again has brought my world into focus. It’s made me realize what’s important.

My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit. The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again - let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness. I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my protection.

Aiden Samuels is the most mysterious and sexy man I’ve ever met - and he’s my new boss. He’s given me a second chance and now it’s up to me not to blow it. No matter how much I may want to trust him with my secrets, I can’t afford to let him in. He can’t discover the truth. No matter what the cost. Chloe Mattson is the most disarming and intriguing woman I’ve ever met - and she’s my new assistant.

Lois Washington is at the end of her rope. Struggling as a single mother in an apartment the size of a closet is not the New York City adventure she dreamed of in her starry-eyed youth.

No matter how much I wish I could tell him.

Caleb Morrison is the most uptight man I’ve ever met—and he’s my new boss. One moment he’s cold, the next he’s unexpectedly sweet. It’s enough to give me whiplash. Despite my attraction to him, I’m convinced we’re too different to be more than friends. But then he flips the script, and I’m left with a decision.

Reid Maxwell is the man I’ve spent the last year crushing on - and he’s my new boss. I should be over the moon about his recent breakup, but he’s gone from miserable to cold.

I’ve spent the last few years watching my dreams of a writing career and true love fade away, settling for a dead-end job and denying my feelings for my best friend—until I find a list of dating advice for single women to “find a husband” in the 1950s. I decide to experiment: Try out the 1950s advice on my 21st-century dating pool and write about the results. If love is timeless, some of the dating advice still holds value. Maybe my experiment will launch my writing career. Maybe I’ll get over my best friend and meet someone new.
