We're known for our savagery. We run New York City. We control every inch of it, and anyone that gets in our way is executed. I protect the people from con artists and thugs like the cartel. But I'm not a good guy. I loathe thinking of myself as a vigilante. And did I mention that my little sister tried to put me behind bars? When a young woman's car breaks down in the rain, I'm feeling overly generous. I recognize her, she's a nurse from Steele Concierge Medical, at least that's what she wants me to believe.

Sage was perfectly content in her little bubble, working and living as a Beta at a large company. Keeping in her own lane and not making any waves. Until the universe decided to give her an abrupt status change. When a far from ideal development occurs and throws everything in her life into utter chaos, Sage is forced into an unforgiving world of Alphas, brutality, and pack politics. She is nothing like the Omega they imagined, and they are far from the Alphas she pictured.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

Daxton Ford tried to warn me. He never made promises. He swore a girl like me would only get hurt by a guy like him. Did I listen? He portrays dangerous, dark, and brooding. Or so he thinks. Daxton is trouble; anyone can see that. He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and keeps his circle of friends small.

But I'm the girl who believes in the good. I'm the girl that even when every fiber in my body is telling me to not go there. I head straight for it, even if I know I'll fall.

Super Bowl Champion. All Pro running back. Leading rusher in the NFL. All titles I've strived for my entire career and now that I've achieved them, the pressure to maintain that status has come with a price. Anxiety is a beast. And it doesn't care that I'm supposed to look tough on the outside, it still rages within me. But hiding behind lie after lie, it's only a matter of time before everything around me starts to crumble and come to light.

I stopped believing in the good a long time ago. My childhood was stripped from me one dark night and I was forever changed. Everywhere I looked I saw evil. Everyone I met, I looked at them as the enemy. It took a long time for me to open up and when I did I found my family. The only people I could count on. I never imagined I'd have a family. Because having a family gave me something to lose and I never wanted to feel that pain again. I never wanted to feel weak.

When Headmistress Alleva arrives on campus, my life at Headquarters is thrown upside down. After sightings of werewolves close to Guild boundaries have everyone up in arms, recruits are thrust into apprenticeships with prominent teams to help move along graduation rates and get them into the field as soon as possible.

This is Detective Evan Geer's story! Welcome to Whiskey River, Montana!

Rules. Some people say they are meant to be broken, but not these ones. These are designed to protect me, to make sure I never feel the pain I did almost ten years ago. The dull but present pain I still feel every time my past taunts me. From the loyalties that have remained broken, I built my walls high and tall, creating these rules to make sure all hearts, most of all mine, will stay guarded. That was the plan at least, until she came along.

I was happy. I had finally won—the past was behind me, my enemies dead, and my mate at my side as we jointly ruled our pack. Or so I thought. Being Alpha isn't easy, and bad blood lingers between our elders. Fights and distrust hover like unwanted pests, our pack a tinderbox set to explode with only a single spark. To make matters worse, loose ends with the vampires threaten our safety, and that last thing I want is more dead cubs. I'd kill every vampire in the west if that's what it would take, but it seems there's something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals.

This is not my week. Or month. Or year. My now-ex-boyfriend cheating on me with my best friend? I'd get over it eventually. Finding out my sister has Lycan wolf DNA and I have hours to get her out of the city before she's locked away in a government research facility? I definitely didn't see that one coming. To save my sister's life, we take off in the middle of the night following cryptic instructions from our late father to what was supposed to be the toxic wastelands. Imagine my surprise when we stumble into a fairy tale civilization of wolf shifters where magic is real.

Having a pack isn't even on the radar for Dr. Piper Blake. Her focus is strictly on her surgical residency. There's no time for dating when the standards you set for yourself are sky high. Unfortunately for Piper, the captain of the New Haven Foxes has a different idea. Alexi Bandnin is ready to make this his best season yet, by winning the Cup, and building his dream pack in the process.

The balance between good and evil is impossible to maintain when neither exist anymore . . . We've been fed lies all of our lives, so now it's up to me and the rest of my team to uncover the truth. But while my heart is pulling me in one direction, my mind and my duty to the world are tugging me in the opposite.

It's not easy building a pack when your father forbids you from dating any of his New Haven Foxes hockey players. But Sloane Applegate is an Omega on a mission and her current target is none other than a surly Alpha defenseman who is supposed to be off-limits. It starts off simple, dating in secret, and making sure that her father doesn't find out she's being courted by one of his players. But things get a little more complicated when the team's mascot and new goalie also catch the Omega's eye, on and off the ice.

After meeting the sinfully handsome Navy SEAL, my life has changed... forever. After my brother's death, I felt like I needed to take control of my life, and it was a new era of drastic changes. That's when I met Operator Grim Reaper. My shell has been obliterated by him in all the best ways. Even though Danny makes me feel safe, I still catch myself looking over my shoulder.

Captured and alone in a place that looks like it was pulled straight out of a medieval movie, I'm desperate to get back to The Guild and my family. But not before getting what I came here for: Wade. Hell might not be all fire and brimstone like I had imagined it to be, but sometimes reality is worse. Way worse. The members of Six and I have been separated with no concrete way of getting back to each other. But even if I could find a way back to them, I'm not entirely sure that I want to. While hell demons are certainly awful, the monster raging inside of me is proving to be just as haunting.

Two months at Graves Academy, and my life is a mess. The people I thought I could trust are monsters, and those I thought were monsters, well... I was right. Even when I do my best to distance myself from these dangerous men, the push and pull of the stars keeps us tied together. There's no reason an incubus, a vampire, or Zodiac Shifters should have any interest in a human. Only, on the full moon of Pisces and the full moon of Aries, I might have to confront the fact that my incubus professor, my vampire classmate, and my mysterious coworker aren't the ones who have been lying to me.

With the Monarchs fractured, I need to use my best moves to bring the whole biker gang back home. My best moves being reverse cowgirl, the upside down corkscrew, and the underestimated cupid's arrow. Unfortunately, my appeal doesn't stretch as far as the stray who has latched onto one of my men. A charming, cunning killer to be exact. This house isn't big enough for the two of us. I'm a bitch who knows her way around a bone, so this slutty snake had better watch her back. Did I also mention she's trying to kill me? Unless Angus and I get to her first.

When Kaiden Hart, the captain of the Charleston Coyotes hockey team, comes to my aid in an emergency, it's the first time I've seen him since I was a young girl. And boy, have the years been kind to him. When he invites me out to dinner, accepting seems like the polite thing to do. At least that's what I tell myself. How else can I justify wanting to be near my older sister's ex-boyfriend? It couldn't have anything to do with his piercing blue eyes and kissable lips. Who cares if he's got chiseled abs and a rear end I could bounce a quarter off of?

Twelve years ago, I married the man of my dreams. Or so I thought. Now a single mom of twin boys, I'm doing my best to rebuild after everything fell apart. I juggle work and therapy and try not to burden those around me. My life is too complicated for love, right? Colton Hayes and Sammy Harlow don't seem to think so.
