I rejected my fated mate and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now. Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As the heir to America’s most powerful pack, my life up to now has been spent in a gilded cage. But not for the reason you might think. I was locked away, not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment to them all. A wolf who couldn’t shift. This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here. The arrogant wolf shifter who ruined my life after I turned him down seven years ago. Now, I’m a pariah, followed by the rumors my rejected mate has spread, hated by my classmates, isolated again. From everyone but them. A vampire prince. A forbidden priest. A powerful demigod. A bully wolf. I’m playing a dangerous game, and the rules say I can’t be with them. Then again, rules are made to be broken. And when every moment spent with them brings me closer to finding my wolf, how can I stay away? Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains an obsessive stalker, a foul-mouthed, inked and pierced werewolf, a naughty professor with a fondness for watching, a god of mischief, and plenty of heat. If you don’t like your books spicy, your men broody, built, and more bad than good, this is not the series for you. But if you do...read on, and welcome to The Mate Games.

The conclusion of Queen Maeve's story... My entire life has been a lie. I thought I was a normal girl, a typical college student. Until Finn and Jensen, two of the most handsome men I've ever met change my entire world. Literally. On my twenty-first birthday, a single kiss from Finn transports the three of us to the Shadow Court. A realm of the fae. Because I'm not human. Not even a little. Turns out, I'm a faerie. The Shadow Court's long-lost queen, to be exact, and I have to take my crown. It should be easy, but there are rules and customs I need to follow, powers I have to unlock, and a prince I'm supposed to marry. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of creatures who don't want me to succeed and will stop at nothing to see me dead. With my guards, Finn and Jensen at my side, I'm ready for anything. Except for my growing attraction to the men I surround myself with. They say they're tempted by me, but I want them just as much, and I don't think I can resist.

Roslyn Blackthorne is dead. Technically. I faked my death to get out of a loveless marriage but that was only half the battle. To ensure my vampire duke can never find me, I have to run far and fast enough he can’t catch me. Because if he does, it’s over. Not just my life—for real this time—but my entire family’s. So how does the princess of the Blackthorne vampires disappear in a world where every supernatural creature knows who she is? Summon a demon, of course. Pan agrees to keep me hidden, help me start a new life…for a cost. And it’s not my soul he’s after. Oh no, he wants my blood…and my body. But so do they. The shifter twins. The cursed hacker. And, of course, my estranged husband. Starting over should be easy after my bargain with the demon. New name. New job. New reality in a tiny town where no one would think to search. Welcome to Aurora Springs, Alaska, a sleepy place where everyone is hiding something and nothing ever happens. At least it was…until I arrived and people started dropping like flies. It looks like I brought my past, and a whole host of other problems, with me. But that’s not a big deal, right? It’s not the end of the world or anything.

If you’re not a fan of grumpy dukes with a penchant for pain, purple demons with fancy body parts, nosy hackers with boundary issues, angsty wolf shifters who like to share, sword crossing, and plenty of group activities, this one’s not for you.

Temptation, thy name is Sunday Fallon, and I am done resisting. Once upon a time I’d been a priest, but she’d made a sinner of me and now I welcomed damnation. She’d always been my destiny. The woman whose life was tied to mine. I just hadn’t planned on falling in love and being forced to choose between my vows and my soul. No matter how deep my connection to her ran, I had a greater purpose I was meant to serve. And now that she was carrying the Harbinger of the Apocalypse–the result of our passion–I had to get her away from the rest of them. Her god of mischief. Her devoted wolf. Her dark prince. She belongs to me…Her twisted captor. If she’ll let me, I’ll keep her. Hide her from everyone and everything that means to destroy her. Stop what’s coming and make her mine forever. Because Sunday Fallon is more than temptation. She’s my new religion. I’ve made my choice. This time I will not falter. I will worship at her altar and forsake all others. No matter the consequence. The seals are broken. Armageddon is coming. And I’m ready for War. Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart.

He saved me from a vengeful wolf but became a monster to do it. And now I’ve lost him. My Viking. My Alek. Locked away in Novasgard, he’s beyond reach. I have no way to find him. No way to tell him about my secret. About the two words that changed everything. To make matters worse, Noah and Caleb want nothing to do with me now that they know. Two little words, and I’m on the verge of losing them. My confessor. My berserker. My prince. My Alpha…the only one remaining by my side. A couple months ago, my biggest worry was finding my wolf. Now we’re dealing with demons, and fending off attacks from the fae. For every enemy we defeat, more lurk in the shadows. The one thing they all have in common? They’re after me. We’re not safe anywhere, and there’s something dark and powerful inside me. Something only Alek can help me control. I have to get him back, to fix what’s broken between all of us. Because if I’ve learned anything since coming to Ravenscroft, it’s that I’m not going to survive this without my mates. All four of them. Warning: This series is not for the faint of heart.

I made my choice, and it wasn’t him. But Kingston Farrell won’t take no for an answer, and I’m not sure I want him to. Noah gave me his mark, made me his, and vanished all in the same night. Kingston used that moment to claim me and bind me to him irrevocably. What he couldn’t know was by sealing our bond, he set something in motion none of us can stop. He unlocked my wolf, freed her from her cage, and she wants nothing more than to make up for lost time by starting off with a bang…literally. His mark throws me straight into my first heat. My wolf mate can give me his knot, but I’m insatiable. I need more. I need them all. My Norse demigod. My royal vampire. My fated wolf. My tortured priest. But we can’t afford the distraction. A war is brewing, and there’s no denying I’m at the center of it all. Not when girls who look just like me keep dying. I thought I’d gotten rid of the target on my back, but when I find myself in a demon’s clutches I know it’s not over. Something evil is coming. It’s stalking my dreams. Making me second guess everything. And with each new attack one question looms… What if that evil is me? Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart.

I might be a cowboy, but I’m no gentleman. Ten years ago I crossed the line with my younger brother’s best friend. I knew she was in love with me, and I couldn’t resist her. River Adams gave me her innocence on her eighteenth birthday. I broke her in return and made her hate me. I thought walking away from her would be easy, but I never expected to come face to face with everything I gave up. Thanks to a stipulation in my dad’s will, she’s back and we have to live together. Me. Her. My brother Walker, who has carried a torch for her since they were kids. And, how could I forget, Bishop? The ranch hand who can’t keep his eyes off her. The years between us may not matter anymore, but the secrets and lies always will. My family has blood on its hands, no one more so than me. If she finds out the truth about Twisted Cross Ranch she’ll never forgive me. I was born to be the villain, but when she looks at me, I wish I could be her hero. For fans of Yellowstone, USA Today Bestselling Authors K. Loraine & Meg Anne bring you a new dark cowboy mafia why-choose series. Red-hot, gritty, suspenseful, and loaded with angst, Twisted Cross Ranch is the escape you didn’t know you needed. Hang on tight, darlin’, these ain’t your mama’s cowboys.

It’s the end of the world as you know it… At least it will be, if my dear despicable mum gets her way. I, however, happen to be quite fond of some of the toys I’ve discovered on this plane. Ma petite monstre, for starters. But the plague is spreading, taking no prisoners, and I’m trapped and at the mercy of a deal I made with Rosie. If Pestilence succeeds, I’ll lose everything I’ve rightfully stolen. What a waste that would be. Then I’d be left in the cold and my mate would end up with them. Her vampire duke. Her over-protective wolf. Her cocky shifter. Her human hybrid. That just won’t do. Not without her delectable demon topping the list. That’s right. Topping. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to redeem myself in her eyes, not after everything I’ve done. I am the villain of this story, after all. What? I did warn you. It’s not my fault you didn’t believe me. But I’ll let you in on a little secret about villains: They’re a whole lot of fun, and if you’re not willing to lie, possess, or steal for the things you want, well can you even say you deserve them? Unfortunately, if mummy wins, none of that matters and we all lose. So, I suppose I’ll have to do what I can to stop the Apocalypse if I want to enjoy the prize I worked so hard to claim. You don’t have to thank me. I’m not doing it for you. WARNING: The Mate Games: Pestilence is a spicy why choose series that is sure to set your…heart…on fire.

One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts. I’m not the only one with a need to claim her though and I don’t know which of us she’ll choose. The dragon The pirate The lost soul or me… the beast. Dahlia was my reason for holding on to the last shreds of my humanity, but with every passing day I lose more of myself. And I’m starting to think that’s for the best. With threats closing in from all sides and a serial killer on the loose, maybe fate brought us together because she doesn’t need a hero. Maybe what my beauty really needs is a villain. Warning: The Mate Games: Death is a spicy paranormal series with a cast of antiheroes utterly devoted to their heroine (even if they haven’t realized it yet). It contains a cursed Novasgardian berserker with primal energy, a dastardly pirate captain who deals in pixie dust, a possessive fae dragon shifter who is fond of hand necklaces, and a mysterious Southern gentleman who’d show her what he liked if only he could remember.

I made a deal with a demon so I could be free.  Boy did that blow up in my face. Everything is falling apart just as I thought it was coming together. The Mercer twins say I’m their mate. I believe them, even if I can’t let them claim me. No matter how badly my soul yearns to be theirs. Pan laid out his terms and I ignored them once already. Now Ben is in jail for a murder he didn’t commit, Asher’s curse is spreading, and Remi and I are no closer to finding a way to free either of them. If that wasn’t tricky enough, the Duke of Tears has found me. And Gavin has made it clear he has no intention of leaving without his wife. But I refuse to leave them. My flirtatious wolf. My haunted hacker. My broken alpha. And I already know my mischievous demon will never let me go. The mark he seared into my flesh is proof of that. If I’ve learned anything from my Blackthorne ancestors, it's how to protect my mate. So while Pan thinks he’s got me over a barrel, I’m the one using him to my advantage. After all, there’s more than one way to deal with a demon. WARNING: The Mate Games: Pestilence is a spicy why choose series that is sure to set your…heart…on fire.

Gavin I am the Duke of Tears, known for my skill with a whip and my penchant for pain. I never wanted a wife. I wanted a submissive. But it would seem, what I want and what is required of me are two different things. Vampire politics are a lot like those of Regency England, and now that Roslyn Blackthorne has thrown herself at my feet to save her family, I understand duty better than I ever thought I would. Although, she does look so pretty on her knees for me. Perhaps it does not need to be either or. This marriage could be convenient in more ways than one. Rosie I shouldn’t like to see my new husband’s predilections on display, but when I uncover his dark secrets, all I can focus on is how badly I want to be on the other end of his whip’s lash. Gavin was supposed to be nothing more than a way to end our families’ centuries-long feud. Instead, he’s opened my eyes to a world I never knew existed. One I long for. I’d thought becoming a Donoghue would require sacrifice, but if my body craves what only he can give me, is it really? His family is twisted, but the connection we share might make it all worthwhile. The real question is, do I stay and become his duchess, or do I save myself from them, and run? Promised to the Night is the prequel to a spicy new why choose series from USA Today Bestselling authors K. Loraine and Meg Anne set in their bestselling Mate Games Universe. Are you ready to play?
