As an experienced psychotherapist, I have seen many relationships strengthened with a hands-on approach to slow down the emotional rollercoaster kids and caregivers can get stuck on. From courses in ethics to family systems theory, I teach future clinicians how to put theory into practice in a meaningful way. I have seen that it is possible to use tools like mindfulness in the therapeutic process and that we model healthy behavior for our kids when we do.

As a Tremblay brother, I’m loyal to my wolf clan. Which means that I have a set of rules to follow. Rules that wouldn’t let me quench my desire for Michelle. For one, she’s human. Absolutely forbidden. Secondly, I’m her boss. And third, making a move on her would mean betraying my pack. This is nothing but torture. Having to look the other way when she’s all I obsess over. I want to make her mine. Claim every inch of her delicious curves. But when my obsession gets the better of me...I have to pay for what I’ve done.

I lost one mate, I couldn’t stand to lose another. I just wish I could figure out how to resist him. Get this complete boxset including: Dark and Forbidden Luca's Secret Baby (As a girl from the wrong side of the tracks and the wrong lion pride, I’m used to scraping by.), Miguel's Secret Cub (I was just a teenager when I ran away from the pride.), Curse Breaker Friends to Lovers ( Two years ago my mate was killed by an enemy alpha.), and Sara's Dark Secret (When I killed my abusive mate to protect myself and my daughter...).

Two years ago my mate was killed by an enemy alpha and since that day, my daughter hasn’t spoken or even moved. Life hasn’t just been hard, it’s been awful. Coming to St. Dominic, all I’m hoping for is a fresh start with a new pride. I expected to have to struggle. What I didn’t expect was so much kindness and generosity from the shifters of St. Dominic. I didn’t expect Charlie either. Charlie isn’t just a cute and sexy alpha hockey player, he’s funny, and sweet. After two years of misery and grief, he’s a breath of fresh air.

When I killed my abusive mate to protect myself and my daughter, no one in my pride believed it was self-defense. To punish me, they cursed me with a halo - a light that surrounds me all the time and which can only be seen by other shifters - warning them that I’m guilty of a terrible crime. When I came to St. Dominic, I thought I might be able to start a new life under the radar. All I want to do is make a living and take care of my baby daughter Jane. But nobody sees past the halo. Everyone in St. Dominic treats me like I’m scum. Except Dylan.

After an attack by the Klimnu, Eden's knocking on death's door. Pyra rushes her to the Denynso healer, and it turns out he has to do more than heal her. He has to bring her back to life. It's the first in Denynso history, and no one knows what to expect or how things will go for Eden. A side effect of the healer's gift is a link bonding them together forever. Pyra is struggling to deal with his mate's attachment to Ciyrs and doesn't know what to do. The more he fights it the more the wall between him and Eden grows....

The last Klimnu attack had a much deeper impact on Ero than he thought it would. Ever since he found Leia after she killed her captor, he has been filled with aggression, anger, and a sense of violence that he just can't shake. It has caused him to get into several fights with the other warriors, who are always able to get the upper hand because Ero is so much smaller than they are. Eventually, he turns to running. He runs farther, faster, and harder than he has ever run, trying to escape the strange emotions and uncomfortable physical effects.

After days of his nameless mate being in some sort of coma, Gyyx can't take it anymore. Eliana gave him the key to make her better, but he didn't feel right, and after all the testing Ciyrs has put her through, he knows it's time to test the theory, but he still feels weird about it. He takes her home and hopes his touch will bring her back to life. He can't go on without knowing who she is, or what she suffered in the hands of the Klimnu. But when she wakes up, will Gyyx be able to convince her he isn't taking advantage of her or like the ones who kept her prisoner?

Ciyrs continues to lose his mind until he finds Eliana. However, she's come with another woman who is unconscious. No one can figure out what happened and he can't get her to wake up. Neither can Eden. Eliana feels so many things. She's happy she was saved, but she can't stop thinking about the woman she saved. Something about the woman calls to her, but in the meantime she has to deal with the fact that her mate is connected to Eden, and that means so is she. There are too many emotions to take. It's time for the Denynso to fight back.

Leia is used to spending her life hiding the pain and torment she faces, but now that she has found her mate, Gyyx has proven to her that she can feel safe and loved. It has been a few weeks since she escaped the clutches of the Klimnu and the warriors burned the prison to the ground. Now she feels it is time that they know what really happened to her during the 57 days they imprisoned her. Leia shares the story of how what she thought was going to be the opportunity to study and learn turned into a terrifying fight for her life.
