Taking Control (The Controllers, #1)
L.V. Lane
There is a war, and people with skills are deployed when and where it suits the cause. Even Omegas.
Where necessary, they are allocated protection.
A controller.
And they are told to submit fully to the controller. That it is recommended.
But the war brings many changes. Omegas must be protected at all costs and what was once a recommendation might soon become a mandate.
Eloise is an Omega, and with her first deployment imminent she has already decided that she won’t submit to full control—not while the law still protects her.
But they haven’t allocated her to an ordinary controller, they’ve let the best of them fight for the right. And nothing is going to stop the one who comes out on top from claiming his prize.
Gentling the Beast (Coveted Prey #15)
L.V. Lane
When the Blighten raided my village, my mother gave me her last words of advice.
“Find the biggest, most fearsome man and throw yourself at his mercy. There is no shame before the Goddess in doing whatever you must to survive.”
Which was easier said than done.
I lived in denial for a time, daydreaming of a handsome prince who would rescue me and take me to his grand castle. Here, we would live happily ever after, making royal babies.
Reality is cold and bitter.
No such prince comes.
And later, when my vulnerability as a bondservant manifests terrifying consequences, an unexpected savior swoops in.
Not a prince, but a hideous white orc and the ugliest beast I have ever met—a mute outcast with shifter blood but who cannot shift.
Only I sense he has a good heart, and I remember my mother’s advice.
Can I overcome my aversion?
Maybe he thinks I am ugly too?
Will I even survive mating such a fierce male?
But if I don’t try, who will be there to save me the next time human predators come around?
And so I decide, one way or another, that the white orcish monster is going to be mine.
Publisher's note: Orc and human pairing in a fantasy setting with some violence and gore.
Beauty and the Bears (Coveted Prey, #17)
L.V. Lane
It has been my papa and me since I was little, and he swore he wanted it that way. Then he met someone while visiting his cousin, and the next thing I knew, he was getting married.
As it turns out, I like my new stepmother. Her three strapping sons, not so much. They are bossy and overbearing and hate me just as much as I hate them.
Only they are always sneaking off, and I get the feeling my stepbrothers are hiding something from me…. Which is why I defy their orders and find myself in danger.
They save me, I discover their secret, and now a very different kind of trouble is coming for me.
Beauty and the Bears is a short and spicy why choose, with a bratty heroine who finds herself in trouble and three hot bear shifters determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
The Coveted Beta (Coveted Prey #16)
L.V. Lane
Alex
He’s been my best friend since we were children, and I’ve admired him all that time.
I’ve always known we were different, even before he matured and revealed his animalistic side.
I’m a married man with a sweet, beguiling wife who never fails to rouse my ardor while holding my infinite love.
Only now, when I see the two most important people in my life together, I realize something has changed.
In him, her, or me? I wish I could say. I wish I could pull back from the brink; that we could escape this deep, forbidden well into which the three of us sink.
I shouldn’t want to see him hold her.
Nor to kiss her lips.
And I definitely shouldn’t want to watch my best friend do a whole lot more with my beautiful beta wife.
Publisher’s note: Short in length but full of spice... A forbidden liaison that becomes something more.
Content Advice: This is a married beta couple in a taboo liaison with the husband's alpha best friend—a short story with lots of smut and the usual omegaverse vibes. MFM with HEA.
Bound for Their Pleasure (Coveted Prey #14)
L.V. Lane
War leaves my family destitute. My enviable life comes to an end.
I shouldn’t covet the stern shifter who turns up offering to work for free. Even if he lights a fire under my curiosity when he casually mentions I’m in need of a firm, corrective hand.
I definitely shouldn’t dream about the handsome barbarian who swore we would wed and then dropped me in the river.
Although the stuffy lord I’m expected to marry does not stir my heart, I understand that he is the practical choice. But fate and a masked stranger have different plans for me.
Content Advice: 💀 of a parent. Kidnap. Bondage. MM. Violence and gore. Hot barbarians and shifters. Beast form mating. Mild dominance and submission play. Fantasy omegaverse trope.
Melody Unbound (Coveted Prey #13)
L.V. Lane
As a high-ranking omega, I’m expected to command warriors in a quest.
Not just any warriors but my overprotective, overbearing adopted brothers.
Only nothing goes to plan. In trying to hide my feelings, I deceived and manipulated them.
Now my four warriors are going to punish me. Worse, they want me to accept this fate, for it to be my choice.
I can stay, but if I do, not only must I suffer the consequences of my deceit… I must also submit.
“Anything,” I agree willingly, my eyes resting on each of them. “Anything you desire.”
Content advice: Dirty-talking alphas. Mild discipline, dominance, and submission play. Sweet and consensual. Danger, violence, and gore.

Captured by the Wolven (Coveted Prey #10.5)
L.V. Lane
I was only six when I first met the monster in my wood. Wolven were a beastly kind of dire wolf that walked on two legs. Larger and more ferocious than a wolf shifter, if even some tales about them were true, my fate was desperate.
Only my monster was none of those things.
He let me nestle upon his lap where he listened to my stories.
Until one day, he disappeared, and I never saw him again.
Many years passed, and war consumed our lands.
Fleeing for my life after an attack on my village, my sweet monster rescued me... at least I thought he did.
Then he told me the truth.
"Foolish human," he says in a deep, rumbly voice. "I wasn't rescuing you. I was capturing you for myself."
Publisher's Note: Captured by the Wolven is a standalone short story set in the Coveted Prey universe. Formerly published as part of the Into the Woods anthology, it features size difference and a naughty-talking monster determined to claim his fated mate!
The Centaur in My Valley (Coveted Prey, #9)
L.V. Lane
My mother always said I shouldn’t have married him and when I discover my lazy scoundrel of a husband plotting with his lover to rob me blind, then kill me, I find out why.
So I run.
And that’s when they find me.
Leering raiders, my ‘husband’ abandons me to their tender mercies when the true master of the forest comes upon us.
Tall, muscular beyond belief, and possessing a deadly grace, he scatters the criminals who threaten to do everything my husband had planned.
I fall to my knees, babbling my gratitude... only to discover the cost of his aid.
I must become his for a moon month. My body shivers, but is that in fear or anticipation? Because I’ve heard stories about the women who succumb to the beasts of the forest, and I’m determined that I won’t be the one to join them.
The Centaur in My Valley is a sweet and spicy story set in the Coveted prey universe.
The Centaur in My Dreams (Coveted Prey, #10)

Thrown into a portal, I'm picked up by a fallen centaur patrol.
Here I become embroiled in a cruel and wicked world where centaurs battle the monsters that spew from the broken portal and women are kept in stables and shared by all.
Grimm, the leader of the fallen centaurs, is breathtaking from his human warrior body to the stallion beneath. He is also barbaric, ruthless, and monstrous in deed.
I hide my omega nature, living among them as a drudge.
Yet I cannot forever hide my response nor my growing fascination with the darkest centaur of them all.

Our heroes embrace their role in claiming and protecting their mate seriously and adore their sweet charge.

I am small and weak; I am an Omega. I am a prize that men war over.
For a year I have hidden in the distant corner of the Empire.

An Omega prey that our dreaded enemy, the Blighten, search for.
