Dalton Black never thought he'd find his true mate. His dark past convinced him that he could never be worthy of one, but the Great Luna did not agree. She saw fit to give him a gypsy healer, the purest of heart among their kind. And now that he's finally found her, she slips through his grasp and into the hands of Volcan, a corrupt high fae driven mad by his own need for power. Now Dalton, with help from his own powerful friends, must find Jewel and rescue her before Volcan can use her blood to create witches and once again throw off the balance of good and evil.
As their journey begins, Perizada will once again lead a group of wolves on a hunt to bring down evil, but little do they know that Volcan is just a drop of blood in the sea of supernatural beings about to darken their path.
Plagued by visions of murder, death and destruction, she has resigned herself to the nightmare her life has become. When an enemy from her past comes to her rescue, she must let go of old wounds and heal the breach so she may survive the evil poisoning her mind.
Rhys Stevens is guilty.
Murder. Betrayal. Treason. Take your pick; he’s guilty of them all. On the path of redemption, he must beg for forgiveness from the one person he fought to save - the woman he has always loved.
Thrown together in the trenches of war, they must work as a team to stop a monstrous puppet master from pulling their strings.
Annie Anderson is originally from Dallas, Texas but has lived in England, Las Vegas (because Las Vegas and the state of Nevada are two very different places), New Mexico, Illinois, Florida and Georgia. As soon as the military stops moving her family around, she’ll settle on a state, but for now she enjoys being a nomad with her husband, two kids, and an old man of a dog.

I’m a veteran. I served 4 years Active Duty and 2 years Reserve in the United States Air Force.
My favorite color is cerulean. (Yes, I know it’s pompous, and I don’t care.)
I hate lettuce.
I am actually pissy after a good workout. Like rip my shoes off and pout on the carpet, pissy. I work out at least 3-6 days a week, and throw a 2-year-old fit every single time. I hate being hot, so much.
I love math. I seriously considered becoming a high school math teacher when I was in college.
I order pizza with no cheese on it. I don't like melted cheese. I like solid cheese and liquified cheese but the in-between stringy yuck on pizza? No. But I love pizza, so I order it cheese-less. (My daughters eat it this way as well.)
I read obnoxiously fast. When I’m not writing or running after children, I can read about 4 books a day.
I’ve been married for almost 10 years to my awesome husband. He's put up with my picky, blunt, RBF-having self for a decade. The man deserves a medal.
I like to sew. And craft. And paint. And organize. And clean. I think I missed the day when they passed out left-brain, right-brain cards in school.

Junior year is really shaping up to be something. After three years of trying, I finally made the cheer squad. And on the last day of summer practice the demigod of Glen Heights High, Joel Effing Miller, finally notices me—right after he runs me over and lands my leg in a cast. Yeah, junior year is really shaping up to be something.
I swear I didn’t see her. But I’m making it up to her every way I can. I’m driving her to school, helping her to all of her classes. I’ve never met anyone so down to earth—a girl who actually likes the things I like. Melissa Malinowski is a breath of fresh air. I can’t stop thinking about her. I swear I didn’t see her, but I should have. Melissa is too beautiful to miss.
My name is Kelly Masterson, and nobody messes with me. I’m Joel Miller’s girlfriend. So Joel ran Mouse-akowski over with his truck. So what? He should’ve finished her off. And now he wants to break up? As if. Nobody breaks up with me. Joel is mine, and he’s going to stay that way. And after having a nice little chat with his mother, it’s become clear why he’s bending over backward to please that human speed bump. I’ll make sure Mouse-akowski understands this, too. That will be the end of Joel and his nerdy little plaything. My name is Kelly Masterson, and nobody messes with me.

Addison Moore is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author who writes contemporary and paranormal romance. Her work has been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine. Previously she worked as a therapist on a locked psychiatric unit for nearly a decade. She resides on the West Coast with her husband, four wonderful children, and two dogs where she eats too much chocolate and stays up way too late. When she's not writing, she's reading.
After Anton Vetrov brutally murders a
young girl as a warning to Tristan Riley, the broken DEA agent believes the
best thing for Lillian Maddox to do would be to stay far, far away from him.
But Lillian knows a thing or two about fear, and she's not willing to let the
man she loves push her away that easily. If he won't fight for them, she
will... even if that means risking her life to prove she's strong enough to
live in his world.
Her plan ends in disaster when she's
dragged out of Teplo at gunpoint,
forcing Tristan onto a collision course with the Vetrov family and Pedro
Francisco. With nothing left to lose except the only woman who has ever
mattered to him, he will do whatever it takes to stop Vetrov and Francisco from
ever hurting her again.
But he doesn't know they've been waiting
for him to make his move. When he does, all hell breaks loose, and his life is
on the line. It's up to Lillian and the DEA to save him, and she's terrified
they won't make it in time.
Thrust headlong into a violent, bloody
confrontation with the Vetrov family, Lillian comes face to the face with the
heartbreaking realization that maybe she doesn't belong in Tristan's world,
after all. When the smoke clears, will he be able to convince his ballerina
that she's the best thing for him, or will he lose her and the chance at a real
future once and for all?
"Sometimes life just fucking
sucks," she said, giggling again. "I think your mouth is rubbing off
on me."
"Mmm," he growled
playfully and flipped her over until she was lying beneath him. He grinned down
at her, the shadows that'd crept into his eyes during their conversation gone,
replaced with happiness, softness. "I noticed that. You called me
baby."
"I did," she murmured,
staring up at him.
His grin widened. "You called
me baby once before, you know."
"Did I?"
"Mmhmm." He nuzzled his
face against her throat. "When I fucked you against the front door. I
think I like hearing you call me baby almost as much as I like hearing you
scream my name, beautiful. You sound so good screaming my name." He nipped
her throat.
"Tristan," she whimpered,
writhing beneath him as his wicked words sent heat through her all over again.
"You sound good whimpering it,
too," he murmured. "Fuck, Lillian, everything you do drives me
crazy." He pressed a soft kiss to her temple before dropping back down
beside her and dragged her into his arms once more. "Every time I'm near
you, I'm turned on."
"It's the same for me,"
she whispered.
"Is it?"
"Yes, all the time. When you
look at me or touch me… I don't know, it's like an addiction, I think. I crave
more and more of you every time." Her brow furrowed as she traced the line
of his abs with one finger. "Is it really like that for you, too?"
"All the time,
sweetheart," he murmured, kissing the top of her head. "I can't get
enough of you." He reached out and grabbed her hand, dragging it down his
body and placing it over his crotch. He was hard again, his cock like steel in
her palm. "You keep me like this, Lillian."
She smiled and curled her hand
around his length, stroking softly. "I like knowing that."
"Fuck." He arched his
hips into her hand before wrapping his own hand around hers and gliding it up
and down his erection. Far too soon, he stilled her hand and pulled away,
causing her to groan in protest. He chuckled and twined their fingers together
again, placing them on his chest, over his heart. "Rest, beautiful. I've
been all over you tonight."
"I like having you all over
me," she grumbled. She loved
having him all over her.
"I like being all over
you," he answered with another soft chuckle at her petulant tone.
"But you need a break or you'll be too sore to move, and there's no
fucking way I'm going to be able to keep from sinking myself into you at least
once tomorrow."
Well, she couldn't very well argue
with that, now could she?
"Fine, but only for the rest
of the night," she warned him, not willing to go any longer than that
before feeling him again. The things he did to her… he could do them every day
of forever and she'd die happy. She wanted
him to do them to her every day of forever.
God. Forever. Was it too soon to
want that?
Tristan and Lillian's Netflix Watch List
Tristan and Lillian don't spend a lot of
time in front of the television, but when they do have time, they love to
snuggle up and watch their favorite shows and movies... or not watch them as
the case may be! Here's what's on their lists and why.
Tristan
·Narcos
– This is a new series, but it's surprisingly good. It captures the messed up
reality of drug trafficking, while humanizing the people behind the scenes.
·Arrow
– A man with a past? A man on a mission? That's not familiar at all!
·From
Dusk Til Dawn: The Series – Because it's a cartel of vampires. Which is
basically every cartel ever. Tristan can relate.
·Three
Kings – Risking everything to screw a bad guy and save a life? Tristan is down
with that.
·Without
a Paddle – Even the most ridiculous of missions can have value.
·Beowulf
– Lillian is slowly showing Tristan the value of literature and the classics.
·Gangland
– Gangs piss Tristan off. It never hurts to spend a little time getting to know
them better, especially in his line of work.
·Inside
Cocaine Wars – Another docu-series about the job. Getting to know some of the
other agents with the same mission is always helpful.
Lillian
·Phantom
of the Opera – What isn't to love about Phantom of the Opera? The story is
haunting, beautiful, and timeless.
·Center
Stage – If anyone can relate to being told they aren't good enough, Lillian
can. Jody is so much like her.
·Cyberbully
– Another one that hits close to home for Lillian. Bullies are everywhere, and
they are brutal.
·Dollhouse
– Echo is a total badass. And she's not what anyone expects.
·The
Originals – Two words: Joseph Morgan. Does she really need another reason?
·Being
Human (U.K.) – The original U.K. version is the way to go with this one. It's
got a little bit of everything, and is so good.
·Ballet
422 – She may no longer be in the world, but she misses performing. This
documentary lets her relive those moments she loved.
·Half
the Sky – Lillian has traveled the world and seen oppression firsthand. This
documentary tells the story well, and gives her hope for the future.
