It's not every day you board a private jet for an all-expenses-paid trip to Scotland with your two gorgeous bosses. And it's not every day you spot your fiancé kissing another woman across the terminal. The man I was ready to marry had been cheating on me for a year. Dumped and humiliated, the best I can do is get on the plane and lick my wounds. Fortunately, my bosses are more than willing to help… and in more ways than I ever imagined.

After breaking free from the gilded cage of my abusive marriage, I have nothing to my name but a letter from a long-lost relative. Come home, Willow. Your family is waiting for you. I sacrificed everything to flee for the tiny town of Briar Valley and its promise of a better life for my young daughter. Hope often takes the unlikeliest of forms, but I didn't expect to find it nestled among the rugged, snow-capped mountains. Nor did I intend to surrender my heart to three tortured mountain men hiding from their own grief in the thick forest of pine trees.

Fate made a huge mistake when she mated me to Cadoc Collins. He’s the heir apparent. I’m a scavenger. My people are so low in this pack, we don’t even rank. I should have known better, but for one night, I let myself forget the facts of life in Moon Lake. Cadoc Collins might be powerless to resist me, but he’s not going to claim me, either.

Deep blue eyes with silver shards… watching me… always watching… Valentin Constanov doesn't take no for an answer. So, when I tell him to stop following me, it might as well be a direct challenge. It's his job to watch over the empire, after all. And I share a connection with his boss's wife—not that I want anything to do with the Russian mafia or their dark and twisted lifestyle. I've got my own problems to worry about. But the hot-tempered, ill-mannered, tattooed-covered Romeo isn't used to being rejected.

Humans made a deal with the Stryxian males: Help us defend Earth, and when the war is over, we’ll send you women to help rebuild your dying species. Now, the war appears to be over and Trinity Bentzer’s number has been called in the lottery. Only, instead of winning a boatload of money, she’s getting some badass winged alien she’s never met. Trin’s not thrilled to be shipped off and matched up, until she meets Raig. Maybe she hit the jackpot, after all.

I'd do anything to ruin the man who destroyed my family—even date him. Blood red lips. Dark, endless eyes. I'll never forget those eyes… or forgive them. For the past ten years, Ilya Rykov has haunted my dreams and fueled my passion to take down Chicago's biggest Bratva. The 6'7 foot, tattoo-covered mafia boss is at the head of the operation, after all. All-powerful. Brutal. Untouchable. Before that, though, he was just my older brother's best friend. This schoolgirl's forbidden crush. Now, my brother is dead. So is my father. And I hold Ilya responsible.

I've spent my entire life running. No more. The past is finally catching up to me, and my secrets won't stay buried as trouble looms on the horizon. I must face the monster who spent a decade torturing me. For myself. My daughter. The countless other victims that he silenced with his brutality. This town gave me everything. I have to protect it, or I'll lose the ones I love forever.

He's the most dangerous man in Chicago—and I'm his newest obsession. Dark emerald eyes. Black tattoos. A killer's smile… god, that smile… When I'm dragged to a secretive nightclub, the last thing I expect is to find myself in the owner's back office. But after he rescues me from a drunken creep, that's exactly where I end up.

Waking up to no car, no money, and no fiancé wasn't my ideal end to a Vegas vacation, but fate had plans for me as my world came crashing down. Now, I have two choices: accept the hand I've been dealt… or do something I never thought I was capable of because I've been offered a wild, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity only the most desperate would consider. One heat. Three days. And a live audience.

The party never starts for Candice Manning, a complete social introvert who suffers from anxiety and depression. Rarely leaving her house and passing as a beta whenever she has to be in public, she lives with her aging cat and stunted iguana. Unfortunately, omegas are legally required to live with their family or in an omega community; but she's been making it on her own since her guardian died three years ago.

Who knew her number would be drawn in the first round? Nothing goes right after that - the transport ship is attacked, she is captured by the enemy Morr-ta aliens and thrown in prison. When a gorgeous Stryxian warrior rescues her, she thinks she's won freedom and her fated mate, but he has some big, bad secret, and apparently, it's a deal breaker for him.

A midlife career switch just ignited a new chapter—With a single dad wolf as hot as the flames he fights. After my divorce, working in the same ER as my arrogant ex was off the table, so I decided to try visiting nursing instead. When I accidentally set off the smoke alarm at a patient’s home and the fire department showed up, my first day was proving to be a hot mess—But not as hot as the firefighter at the door. My inner wolf didn’t want Hayden to leave, not knowing I’d soon meet him again—in his own home.

So, Kelly loves Teddy and Sam, but Garret's super sweet, if a little clingy. Sam loves Teddy and Kelly, and would really like Steve if he'd stop being such a jealous brat. Teddy loves everybody, but some more than others. Steve loves Teddy, thinks Sam is hot, loves his brother Garret in a different way…and is super jealous of Kelly. Garret just wants Kelly. Everybody else can fall off the face of the earth.

Kelly is a sweet and clumsy beta girl. Her life plans include graduating from college with her B.S. in kinesiology and moving out of her parents' house. Someplace where her brother won't use up all the hot water every morning. Instead, she finds herself scent-matched to an alpha, Sam, and omega, Teddy, at her boss's mating ceremony. One whirlwind of family outrage later, she's all packed up and moving in with her new mates. At least that was the new plan until two alphas from Teddy's past rolled into town looking for him.

Valessa is in danger. Her town has been captured by Aventinian raiders, the women taken, and now she's on a ship destined for nowhere good. But when a terrifying, four-armed sea-ogre pirate boards the ships and demands compensation, Valessa's luck changes.

The daughter of two legendary air witches, I'm supposed to be the best of my generation. In theory, I should be able to bend the wind to my will. In practice, I'm more likely to accidentally trigger a hurricane. To prove myself, I have to capture the North Wind—the most volatile force on earth. As far as quests go, I expect it to suck. What I don't expect is to meet my fated mate in the form of a smooth-talking Scottish Highlander. Callum McLeish is half-dragon and half-incubus. He's also drop-dead gorgeous and determined to follow me to the frozen wastes.

From New York Times best-selling author Milly Taiden comes The Marked and Mated Collection - includes The Wolf's Royal Baby, The Wolf's Bandit, Goldie and the Bears, and Baby Got Bear.

This is what I have been training for. Finding my mate after months of practicing the art of wooing the human who is scientifically best suited for me. I am too old to feel this nervous about meeting her in person for the first time, but that won't stop me. Now when she wakes up, I just have to convince her we are meant to be. Will she still accept me after taking her away from Earth?

The building I'm renovating to turn into a B&B in the cozy coastal town of Mystic Harbor, where humans and monsters live in harmony, is either haunted or someone's trying to sabotage me. After someone rips up my flower beds for the third time, and the local law enforcement can't find any clues, I head to Monsters, PI, where I hire a much-too-gorgeous dragon shifter to determine if I'm a victim of crime or paranormal activity. After someone creeps through my building late at night, Reylor moves in with me to further his investigation.

Cormac is my mate, my love, and my king. He's also the last pureblooded dragon in the world—and I've spent the past few centuries watching him slowly descend into madness. The weight of time drove him to the edge. Then, a curse killed our race's females, and the loss tipped him over it. His mind is broken, but his power remains unrivaled. It's a deadly combination that could burn civilization to the ground.
