"His fingers are warm against the back of my neck as he pulls me into him with a gentility that scares me. He leans in until our noses touch, and he lets out a shaky breath. My eyes shutter and I take in his breath. My stomach dips in anticipation. My thoughts are long gone. Thoughts on why it is dangerous to get this close to him. Thoughts on why I should push him off me. Thoughts on why our lips shouldn't be this close, and why my fingers shouldn't be rising to his chest." *** Gin Sullivan rejects her fated mate, Sinclair Winchester, a powerful Alpha with a dangerous reputation.

Rune lunges forward and cups either side of my cheeks, forcing me to look in his eyes and deeper into his dark pupils that are widening. "You will forget what happened tonight. After I leave, you will go to bed and wake up with no memory of what transpired between us." Things do not go as planned when Astrid finds herself in the wrong school, the only werewolf in a school of Lycans who are bigger, badder and stronger than she is. It only makes things worse when she is placed under the charge of her childhood enemy, Rune Wilder, who seems more than content to cause her pain. Somewhere along the line, Astrid finds out that the reason why Rune hates her so is because he is secretly in love with her, and he is only pretending because he thinks he will hurt her if they ever get together. He bears a secret that could damn him. Within him resides the soul of the dark King, King Hekate, and he has no control over him.

"His big hands curve around my hip and he yanks me into him roughly. My pulse flutters and my skin tingles where his touch filters through the silk, painting my skin with a warmth that becomes too hot in the next second and color that I know has spread through my body, a flushed scarlet. His free hand snakes up my back, and the air hisses between my teeth when his fingers clamp down on the back of my neck possessively. He forces my head back and drags his teeth along the pulsing vein of my throat, slowly." *** Jessamine Everhart is nothing more than an overlooked Omega—poor, unshifted, and utterly invisible. Yet behind her humble façade burns a fierce, unyielding love for Alpha King Kier, the most powerful and unattainable male in Neredia. When Kier opens a grand selection to choose his Luna from among elite Alpha females, Jessamine does the unthinkable: she risks everything to place herself among them.
