I have a confession to make. I'm not used to being the center of anyone's attention. I know that I've been sheltered. I was adopted by humans, and by the time I was introduced to the Blackwater Pack, I was awkward and shy around other wolves - something that never really went away. I keep trying to claw myself out of my comfort zone, but until now, I've never had a compelling reason.

My mother’s death shattered my family and I was left to raise my brothers. Now I run an empire and nothing will stand in my way as I expand Stag Law. And then Alice Peterson came along. The new corporate chef is supposed to give my company an edge, but Alice Peterson is anything but corporate. Wild and spicy as her food, Alice sweeps into Stag Law and drives me to distraction. I don’t like distraction. I summon all my drive and determination to resist my attraction to her, but what if I allow myself one tiny taste?

Ryker’s been away from home for six long years, undergoing the rigorous training required of the next pack alpha. Now he’s back, ready to take his place as the leader of Blackwater’s wolves and to claim the man he’s always wanted to be his mate. Austin can’t remember a time when he wasn’t attracted to Ryker, but when Ryker left town, so did Austin’s dreams that they would, one day, be together.

Everyone has that special someone - their first love. The memory of that person who brings butterflies to your stomach and a smile to your lips. My first love was Owen Moore. He was my best friend's older brother - a broad, strapping alpha who never failed to make me feel safe. I spent most of my childhood at the Moore's house, their open warmth a welcome relief from the cold reception my own parents gave me. Owen never looked twice at me then. Now, I'm back in Blackwater, teaching at the local school. Owen's in Blackwater, too, protecting and serving as part of the police force.

I deal in beautiful things. I'm paid to create unique masterpieces and I enjoy my work. I'm the best there is because I'm patient, kind, and quick. I wear the mask of humanity when I need to, and I play the part of just another stranger walking past you on the street, but there's something I want that I can't quite seem to get my hands on. For all of the blood I shed - for all of the flesh I've stripped, there's only one touch that I long to feel.

Binge three stand-alone books in the collection—Fragile Illusion, A Stag Family Christmas, and Beautiful Game.

Hawk Moyer has it all: fame, fortune…the only thing missing from the pro athlete’s life is family.

The only problem? He met a woman who’s not that into him…and he can’t get her out of his head.

At 17, what could anyone possibly know about love or the meaning of life? Maybe the only thing that really is important at all is realizing what matters in the moment, but that is easier said than done when your body is barraging your brain with hormones. Of course adding pot, alcohol, frozen pizza, and spite for an ex-girlfriend to the disturbing mixture of inherent young male chemicals doesn't help at all. If it is too early for a midlife crisis, maybe it's the perfect time for a nervous breakdown.

He thinks I’m a brat, too spoiled and too young. Obviously, I disagree - and despite what Kane says, his eyes on my body are telling a different story. If we do this, we have to be discreet. Secret.

They strike a dangerous deal: Emma plays the part and Thatcher gives her the scoop she needs to keep her job. The illusion seems shatter-proof until Thatcher shows Emma the cracks in his inked-up armor, and she reveals a secret about her health. Can she stick to the rules or does he have a new plan in mind?

Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Jeff Sutherland lost his abilities to walk and speak within two years and, confined to a wheelchair, was forced to retire from his life's work as a physician at 43. Not long after, he was locked in his own inanimate body, unable to eat, drink, or breathe without assistance. His meals were delivered through a feeding tube, and a ventilator controlled his lungs through an opening in his throat. The only parts of his body he was able to move voluntarily were his eyes.

Doug Rogers has it all planned out. He just needs to teach summer school and one tiny class at the nearby university and his master's in education will be paid for. But he wasn't planning on Amy Peterson. The almost-nurse in his comp class seems mad at the world, and particularly mad at Doug. She's one class away from her nursing degree after five long years of hard work, and she doesn't have the time or the patience for her optimistic instructor, no matter how attractive he is behind those glasses. The more he tries to talk to her, the more he seems to shove his foot in his mouth.

I know that I can be gruff and blunt, and I've never really been the romantic type. Still, I thought we were happy together. It turns out my ex didn’t see things the same way. He cleared out my bank account and skipped town with another man, leaving me to pick up the pieces of our broken dreams alone. Let’s get one thing clear: I'm not ready for another relationship. But that doesn't mean I'm not up for a little distraction with an attractive coworker.

Unfortunately, when she needs extra money to pay off an urgent debt, the only position that pays her enough is dancing on stage with barely anything on. Wallie has been a bodyguard at the club since it opened four years ago, and over the last year he’s developed quite a crush on Ms. Reba. He might have thought he had a chance with her, except the club has a strict rule: No dating between guards and dancers.

But Juniper is my dream woman. Smart, athletic, fierce…I’d spend eternity in the sin bin for her. We just can’t get caught.

All Tristan’s ever wanted was to make a difference - and becoming a lawyer was the tool to make that happen.

It’s not just affecting him professionally. His ethics say that he should stay far away from the victim’s family...but his heart says he should bring Upton close and never let him go.
