Genesis. Genesis Valentine knows exactly what she wants out of life. As a decorated journalist, she is determined to tell stories that matter, and to make a difference in the world. Unfortunately, as an unbonded omega, she’s considered a liability in the field. If she wants to take her career to the next level, she has to show her editor that she can get her scent under control. And that means taking on a pack, at least temporarily. At almost thirty, Genesis should’ve been bonded years ago, but she refuses to be a slave to societal expectations or even biological needs. She has no interest in being owned by a bunch of alphaholes who would try to control her life and interfere with her plans. So, when she’s matched with a temporary pack of widowed alphas who have no intention of mating again, Genesis knows she’s found the perfect solution to all her problems. However, when she meets the handsome pack of silver foxes, Genesis quickly realizes she might’ve gotten more than she bargained for. Orlando. Orlando Rossi has built a perfect life. His business is wildly successful, and his packmates’ artistic and farming ventures are equally impressive. They have a beautiful home and more money than they can spend. Perfect. Except for the gaping hole where their omega used to be. In the decade since her death, Orlando has done everything he can to get Pack Rossi back on their feet. They’ve come so far, but he knows something is still missing. When they take on a smart, feisty temporary omega who smells like heaven, Orlando knows immediately that everything is about to change. Unfortunately, both Genesis and Orlando’s packmates are stubborn, strong-willed, and set in their ways. Is it too late to find love again, or will Genesis be the fresh start they didn’t know they needed?

Serenity. Serenity Rose Johnson has only one hope, and that’s to find a pack that will treat her kindly, and maybe allow her to follow her dreams of being a fashion designer. She hasn't had it easy, but somehow, she's never given up that hope—not even after her dads sold her to omega traffickers to settle their debts. Her foolish hope helps her to escape her abusers, but she finds herself alone on the side of a deserted road in the middle of winter, in the dead of night. Headlights are the last thing she sees before unconsciousness and certain death. But when Serenity wakes up, she isn't dead, although she might just be in the mansion of the famous Pack Rhodes, four of the country's most eligible bachelors. Business mogul Sebastián Rivera St. James, rock star Malcolm Rivers, pro linebacker Tane Kekoa, and their pack leader, heartthrob actor Remy Rhodes just happen to be searching for a pack omega. As the handsome alphas nurse her back to health, Serenity can’t help but hope that she might be what they’re looking for. Remy. Remy Rhodes has a plan and Serenity Rose Johnson isn't in it. His family—and the rest of the world—have high expectations for him and, as pack leader, it’s up to him to make sure that Pack Rhodes maintain their impeccable reputation. They have wealth, power, and fame. There’s only one thing missing, and they’ll finally have it all. After years of hard work and preparation, they’re ready to complete their pack—they just have to find their perfect omega. Of course, Remy has carefully compiled a list of suitable women who would bring his pack even more prestige. He’s more than prepared to choose between five rich, beautiful omegas who belong in Pack Rhodes’s world. So, when his friends stumble into the packhouse after a night of partying carrying an unconscious, unbonded omega, Remy is far from happy about it. He’s even less happy when he catches the potency of her scent and sees the way she affects his packmates…and Remy himself if he’s being honest. Before long, he has to admit that his pack is falling for the sassy little omega from the wrong side of the tracks. Now, it’ll take all his careful control to keep their plans on track and keep their unexpected guest from upending their entire lives.

Destiny. Destiny Duvalle has it money, fame, millions of adoring fans, and loving parents who have managed her music career since she broke into the business at age sixteen. But at twenty-four, Destiny is tired of the hustle and bustle of celebrity life, of constantly being “on”, of being international popstar Destiny Duvalle. It’s why she’s turned down proposals from so many packs—that and her sneaking suspicion that her omega instincts are broken. If she’s being honest, Destiny is afraid that without her fame and fortune, her parents (and everyone else) will see the real her and find her woefully inadequate. After a long and successful tour, she’s looking forward to heading home for the holidays and having some time to think. Unfortunately, her mother books her one more gig—a quick private performance for the Avondalian royal family…including the crown prince and his pack. Destiny knows Pack Stepanov’s roguish reputation and has no intention of falling for their charms. But suddenly her omega instincts seem very much intact and they did not get the memo. Xander. Prince Alexander Stepanov is a screw up. He knows it, his pack knows it, his family knows it, and his people know it. Public opinion is that he’s not fit to lead and Xander secretly agrees. He’s never wanted the throne and its responsibilities. As much as he loves the people of Avondale, he hates all the politics of ruling. But as time passes and his inevitable ascendancy looms, Xander knows he’s running out of time to shape up and prove his worth. When his drunken escapades lead to a meet-not-so-cute with gorgeous popstar Destiny Duvalle, Xander is annoyed to discover she’s the one woman who seems totally immune to his charms. With her perfect looks, glamorous career, and vapid music, Destiny is exactly the type of superficial phony Xander tries to avoid. But when her stay is extended by a huge snowstorm, Xander realizes there is more to her than meets the eye. Will this prove to be a Christmas miracle, or just another regret?

Two fated mates embark on a journey of love, hope, and self-discovery in this spicy dark romantasy perfect for fans of The Witcher and The Wheel of Time. In the kingdom of Kōsaten, the poor live by the mantra of “pair or perish.” Outsider Macella should already be scraping to feed a family of her own, doing her part to keep the societal structure intact. Done with adhering to archaic expectations, Macella sets out on her own. Armed only with words and a thirst for change, she faces a perilous world, one where the veil between the mortal realm and that of gods and demons grows thinner every day.In her pursuit of the stories she knows can incite a renaissance, Macella takes what work she can. But everything changes when, on her first night of brothel work, an Aegis—one of the kingdom’s sworn protectors—requests her company. Aegises are known to be emotionless brutes, no better than the monsters they kill. But despite her fear, Macella is entranced by Aithan of Auburndale.When Aithan begrudgingly allows her to travel with him, Macella convinces herself that their companionship is one of convenience, and that there is no deeper, more dangerous desire involved. But being around the Aegis is changing her. The voices in her head are no longer characters from her stories, but something far more real and infinitely more sinister. And she’s not the only thing changing—monsters are entering the realm more freely, attacking more strategically. Something terrible is coming.Yet Macella cannot walk away. Not when the world needs her—and Aithan does, too. Not when she finds herself wanting her story…to include him.
