Nolan Bishop has felt like an outsider in the Savage Kings MC, ever since he gave up the nomad lifestyle to try and put down some roots. He’s a convicted felon, searching for his place in the world without screwing up his probation. The last thing Nolan needs is a giant oaf from a rival biker gang showing up at the MC’s clubhouse, threatening to kill Nolan if he doesn’t give his estranged wife, Rita, a divorce.

Conrad Erikson thought that doing the police chief a favor would be an easy assignment, one that could ultimately benefit the Savage Kings MC in the future. All he has to do is pick up the chief’s daughter from college and bring her home. What could possibly go wrong? When it comes to the chief’s daughter, Hannah, the answer is anything and everything. And if Conrad isn’t careful, she’ll wreck his life and bring down the entire MC.

We're 13 girls, captive to a man we rarely see. Obedience will become all we know - it is the only emotion we're permitted to feel. When we're bad, we're punished. When we're good, we're rewarded. Our scars run deep, yet we survive because we have to - because he teaches us to. All of us are special, we feel it with everything we are. He has us for a reason, but it's a reason we don't know. We haven't seen his face, but we know that something deeply broken lies beneath the darkness. With every touch, with every punishment, we know it.

My mom once said, "Love isn't concrete. It's an emotion, and emotions are abstract. They change. You don't make decisions based on something abstract because if you do, you’re setting yourself up for failure." I didn't understand her words at the time. I was young and in love, and if you had asked me to define what I was feeling, it would’ve consisted of words such as affection, warmth, happiness, butterflies, happily ever after. Now, after experiencing heartbreak firsthand, my definition of love is a bit different. It consists of words like messy, heartbreak, waste of time, unrealistic, fake.

It was one night. No names. No problem. I gave myself over to the kind of desire I didn’t think I could feel again. When I woke up she was gone. Now she’s back. In my office. My turf.

With werewolves on the brink of extinction, packs from everywhere came together in an attempt to overcome their differences. The creation of the She-Wolf Games did just that, bringing peace among the territories as packs worked toward the same goal: To save their species. Usually, I’d be touched by such a monumental occasion, but I had no idea werewolves existed. Or that female werewolves were a commodity and the ultimate prize.

Verek Rhodes is a playboy royalty in South Carolina. As a member of the Savage Kings MC and the manager of a nightclub, women were easy come, easy go in his life, until he met Tessa.

I was kidnapped and sold to a monster. My abductor told me he would let me go...after he got what he wanted. So I offered him my virginity in exchange for my freedom, but he broke that promise. And now he's decided to keep me. When my past suddenly collides with my present, it's an all-out war. How could I have ever guessed that my captor would turn into my protector? I don't know if we can survive this, but now it's my turn to save him.

I feel as if I know nothing. Hell, half of the wolves of Lulupoterra know nothing. Our naivety will leave us weak, broken, and at the mercy of powerful witches. Our species will be collared or killed off until only those compliant to the five covens that have been protecting the wolf packs for over a century remain. I can’t fathom the thought. I will not let everything my dad sacrificed for me to rise up and fight to go to waste. Now, with our enemies in plain sight, my pack mates and I will show them we won’t be broken.

Saving the werewolf species from extinction isn’t as easy as the packs of Magaelorum thought. The She-Wolf Games might have united packs in all the territories, but the she-wolf alpha leaders are crazy to think I’ll join their ranks to help continue four — wait, five — powerful bloodlines. If only that was the most of my worries.

Ricca Radcliff was a wolf who desired more in life. She was tired of the desk job and the steady day-to-day work. She was meant for more, so she applied and was accepted to join the elite enforcers of her pack. After intense training, she was finally awarded her first job. A protection detail. One whiff of the tantalizing human, and her wolf immediately wanted to claim her.

He’s ready to do whatever it takes to win the war the former police chief started thanks to his twin, Conrad’s involvement with the chief’s daughter.

Their presence interrupts my plans to use my family's wealth to make a positive impact on the world, and everyone around me is so intimidated.

Screw that. I have one thing they don't. I have my pack mates, and we're made of magic.

I didn’t plan to sleep with the president of the Iron Serpents MC. It was supposed to be a distraction. A mistake I’d never repeat. Until two pink lines flipped my entire world upside down. I thought I’d raise the baby alone. Until they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Move into the clubhouse. Let them protect me. In exchange, I’d give them something they all want—a legacy.
