Every child deserves to be loved. Every child deserves parents who love them. Yet, for as long as I can remember, I've harbored an insatiable craving for that one simple thing. Love. I was desperate for it. Through years of mistreatment and degradation, I longed for the affection I saw others receive. And I was willing to do anything to prove myself to the people I wanted it from—including going to war. Yet it was never enough. Nothing ever was.

Look, there are plenty of things I just learned about the gorgeous, seven-foot-tall perfect specimen of male living next door to me. Karnak can scent everything about me, including those times I thought I was alone in my hot tub and I decided to experiment with different water jet settings. He's really good at finding lost kitties (not a euphemism). In the four years I've lived next door to him, the orc has known—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that I'm his fated Mate. And apparently it's killing him to stay away.

I know I'm lucky to have a mate at all. Most would rejoice. Most would run to them. Not me. I want to stay with my family. I was trapped in the veil for the majority of my life, fighting to survive. And I'm supposed to leave them for a man I don't know? I'm tired of Fate making the decisions for me. Yet . . . The ache in my chest becomes too much. The thirst in my throat becomes unbearable. The need to mate is a call I can no longer ignore. Even if I've never touched or kissed another. How will I satisfy him?

I never knew how to stick up for myself. I never had to. That's what Nate Manning, my best friend, was for.

But that was before I bumped into the confident and strong Indigo Sky.

I had strict rules while watching my sister's cat in her luxurious NYC condo. Give Munchies all of his medication, no matter how vicious he gets. Use coasters on all surfaces. And definitely do not talk to my sister's grumpy boss. I've never been good at following rules. Once I have the chance to tell off Mr. Strickland for working my sister to the bone... You better believe I take it. Mr. Dragon-In-A-Suit has no idea what hits him. I come in like a Tomahawk missile and leave him shaken. In more ways than one. But here's the thing. He leaves me shaken, too.

A werebear is just a cute name for what Brandon Ranger really is—a berserker. Beneath his skin lies a warrior driven by pure, brutal emotion. A warrior who never quits, no matter how much pain he's in. Which was fine when he was at war. But at home, nothing's so easy. Especially not when prickly sheriff's deputy Samantha Green just wants to be friends. Because a berserker's emotions never sit quiet—and when Brandon's need comes roaring to the surface, there's only one way to save her: Run.

They called me a freak. They called me a loser. They tormented me and made my life a living nightmare when all I had ever wanted was to be left alone.

I left the only home I'd ever known to lock myself behind the cemetery gates and care for the only people who have ever given me the peace I craved—the dead.

Finding out the guy I hooked up with is on my team isn't the way I saw my first week of coaching going.

I take a coaching job a thousand miles away as a fresh start, only to ruin it before I start. Three months ago, I met him in a bar. Sexy and funny and built like a God—no names, just the best night of my life.

Falling asleep on a bench in the marina's parking lot on Amelia Island was not in my plans for last night.

But one thing leads to another, and we end up in the back of his truck for a steamy night.

My life had been built on a foundation of tragedies, but nothing could have prepared me for the worst one of all. The one that should have sent me over the edge. But I had made a vow to my wife to live…whether she was here or not. For ten years, I got by on a steady routine, and I would've been content to live the rest of my days just like that. But then, my father—the source of my childhood trauma—needed me as his caregiver. And I jumped at the chance to finally receive the love I'd craved in my youth.

Monsters ate my parents, leaving me orphaned and homeless. I found a new pack and life was peaceful . . . until three powerful Alphas invade. They appear to be normal wolf shifters, but they harbor a secret, a gruesome monster form with a taste for blood. They claim I'm their fated mate and that I belong to them. They're big, bad, with appendages so massive they could make a cobra blush. But me and three monsters? Never going to happen. Too bad for me, hot, buff alphas don't handle rejection well . . .

My whole life, I've been the perfect daughter: perfect hair, perfect body, perfect grades, perfect career. Of course my mother would choose the perfect fiancé for me! Thank God I wised up in time and dumped the jerk, but maybe I shouldn't have jumped into bed with the first hottie who winked at me. But how was I supposed to resist? Yeah, he's an orc, and he's muscled and tatted and definitely the take-charge kind of guy. Little did I realize, when I snuck out of his bed, that he'd left me with a present.

I am the man she fears the most. The devil waiting behind the mountain range. I will teach her how to be my perfect woman, and she will thank me for it. I am the master of the game. She doesn't even realize we are playing one. She signed a contract inked in tears and sealed with blood. Now she is mine, and there is nothing she can do about that because hidden in the small print—she gifted me her soul.
