“I told you,” he whispered against her mouth as his leg wedged between her legs. “The only thing you’re going to feel is me fucking you to the mattress until you’re screaming out my name. I’ll make you want it so bad that you’ll be begging me for it all the time.” Raina swallowed hard at his words and what they did to her. She was so wet and ready for him that it was embarrassing. “Now get your ass into my office. We need to discuss you taking some time off so your body can prep for the procedure unless you just want to bypass it and just let me breed you until you’re pregnant with my child. Either option requires you to take time off. Choice is yours.” *** Raina Winters, Alpha Kian Tara’s chosen female Beta, has been carrying a secret for years from her Alpha believing she would never ever be accepted by her Alpha as a desirable mate and suitable Luna. For years, she has watched her fated mate love another while she suffered in silence dangerously close to death until her Alpha and his childhood sweetheart break up, because he wants to find his fated mate. Even after their break up, she still keeps her secret. Too afraid to believe he’d ever see her beyond his Beta, she keeps silent. When the Elder Council puts pressure on Alpha Kian to produce a heir and to ultimately select his Luna, her Alpha and her twin sister offer a medical solution, to find a surrogate. The most eligible choice is Raina!

Cursed, mated, and in for the fight of their lives… Warlock Nate Hawthorne just wants a cup of coffee. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Because instead of precious caffeine, all he gets is cursed by a pack of werewolves who want to use him for his magic. Now the only way to fix the damage is a mate bond to a grumpy and oh-so-sexy alpha in the rival pack, who happens to hate him. This is so not how he wanted to start his day. Ian Armitage never intended to take Nate as his mate. The Hawthorne family can’t be trusted. Ian knows that better than anyone. The fact that he’s lusted after the way-too-gorgeous man for years? Totally irrelevant. Ian’s just doing what is necessary to protect his pack. This whole mating arrangement has nothing to do with love and never will. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Nate and Ian will have to work together if they have any hope of staving off the pack’s enemies and averting disaster. That’s assuming they can stop arguing (and keep their hands off each other) long enough to save the day… The Alpha’s Warlock is an explicit M/M paranormal romance featuring a snarky warlock, a brooding alpha werewolf, knotting, enchanted socks (long story), and a guaranteed happily ever after. This series does not contain mpreg.

Kane Porter was as boring as his name implied. Of all the financial coordinators under me, he was the one least likely to be interesting on an intoxicated evening. Kane was quiet, well-mannered and nobody was friends with him. I was his boss and I got along well with everyone until I came across a problem. The account I'd been skimming from had a good hunk of change missing now. Not good. How could I have it investigated without flagging myself for the ten thousand dollars I'd 'borrowed'? There was only one thing I could do. Porter was a nice guy. He'd help me out. No one could be safer to ask...

Di benua Akhantara, berdiri Sekte Wana Jagad, sekte terlemah yang hanya dipandang sebagai tempat sampah dunia persilatan. Di sanalah hidup seorang pemuda yatim piatu bernama Aksara Linggar, seorang pelayan rendahan yang tak memiliki nasib selain dicaci, dipukuli, dan dijadikan budak oleh para murid resmi. Ketika ia difitnah mencuri harta sekte, Aksara dikhianati oleh seseorang yang ia percaya, lalu dibuang ke jurang terkutuk. Namun kematian justru menolaknya. Di dasar jurang, ia menemukan Darah Naga Purba, sebuah warisan dewata yang tersegel selama ribuan tahun. Darah itu menyatu dengan tubuhnya, mengubah setiap luka menjadi kekuatan, dan setiap musuh yang ia bunuh menjadi sumber penempaan tubuhnya. Bangkit kembali sebagai makhluk yang kekuatannya tumbuh dari penderitaan, Aksara bersumpah: “Aku akan naik kembali ke dunia persilatan. Bukan untuk memohon pengakuan, tetapi agar setiap sekte yang pernah menindasku bersujud di bawah kakiku.” Saat dunia diguncang ramalan tentang “Pewarisan Darah Langit”, nama Aksara Linggar mulai mengguncang benua. Dari pelayan tak berharga, ia naik melampaui murid inti, pahlawan sekte, hingga menjadi ancaman bagi para tetua dan penguasa yang selama ini berkuasa atas dunia.
