Specials Romance

I've given advice to half the town through my weekly advice column, but I can't seem to take any of those great gems and apply them to my own life. Namely: Just get over him, already! I've spent two years pining after an arrogant playboy of an alpha, watching him flirt with every unattached omega in town. All the while, my wolf has been howling at me to do something, to make this right.

From book one: A fated mate is a rare gem...one I never thought I’d find. With 15 males born to a single female, women are my people’s most precious resource, one we’re in dire need of replenishing.

When Mateo saw my last relationship implode, he was there to help. He saved me. Hopefully, self-defense lessons will keep me from getting hit again. I can’t ask for more of my friend.

For the first time in my life, I want something real.

I had no trouble saying no to Channing when he left for college two years ago. I’m two-and-a-half decades older than him, and he was just a kid. But he’s all man now, and it’s hard to stay away.

I’ve been hurt before, but Shayne makes me want to try again. I haven’t been lucky in romance, and for the past 12 years, my daughter Charlotte has been my number one priority. But my senses go crazy every time I’m around Shayne, and my inner wolf is convinced he’s my fated mate. He fits right into my family, but he doesn’t know a thing about shifters, and I don’t want to scare him away before I find a way to convince him to stay in town.

I’ve always known about dragons, but it’s only recently that they’ve wanted anything to do with me. Now I’m a hot commodity - and there’s only one person I trust to keep me safe. Ace will protect my body...but if he gets too close, I’m afraid he’ll steal my heart. No dragon ever treated me so kindly, and no man ever lit me up inside like he does. He says I’m his mate, but could a playboy dragon like him really want a simple farmer like me? Ace is determined to prove what we have is real, and to keep me from harm. But I’m still not sure why I’m in such demand.

To survive on a hellish prison planet, I’m doing favors for the most dangerous gang around. My fellow prisoners hate me for the special treatment I’m given, and I’m balanced on a knife’s edge since the Sives could turn against me at any moment...or demand more than I can give. And when a new convict joins the gang, I know I’m in trouble. How can my body yearn for one of them when I’ve seen the terrors they’re capable of?

One minute I was on a plane with my brother, and the next I – along with every passenger – was waking up on a prison planet overseen by vicious aliens and heartless robotic guards. I need to find my brother and get us out of here, but when I encounter Tetro, I find myself wanting something else. I can’t trust the man in charge of overseeing all the terrible things happening to me, but there’s more to the alien than his brusque exterior.

I don't know why nobody ever wanted me. For real, I mean. My parents died when I was eight, and I spent the next 10 years hopping between foster homes. Let's just say, they barely did me any favors. I have got nothing. No job, no place to live and I have no one to be with. Except...well...I do have DNA test results from a genealogy website. With close family matches. It’s probably a stupid idea. A total long shot, really... I’m going to go and find them.

Devan Puckett is a rising star in the culinary scene. A well known chef with his own cooking show, he lives and breathes meats and vegetables, grains and fruits...and his years-long rivalry with Ori Wilson. Ori Wilson is a confident omega.
