But once the beast approaches, I glimpse the lonely human beneath the wild hair and mountainous body. Yes, he’s very much a man…a man who will stop at nothing to claim me as his mate.

You know what sucks? In today's world, there are hardworking people like me drowning under medical debt—F* cancer—and then there are guys with way too much money. Guys who treat cash like a weapon, who shouldn't get to be both rich and unfairly hot. Guys like Abydos. When I finally land the...

I'm a focused and goal-oriented librarian-in-training, so there's no way I'm falling for my himbo roommate, who gives off major golden retriever vibes, right? Right. But dang. Since the moment I started renting Luxor's spare bedroom, I've been plagued with these inconvenient urges...so being mature, responsible adults, we've decided to deal with them. One time.

Ari has been running from her dark past her whole adult life. She finally managed to flee the United Kingdom and has made a new life for herself in the United States where she works as a nurse. Except life isn't that simple. She's a werewolf, and not just any werewolf—a Shadowborn. Able to become shadow, it's an ability some would kill to possess.
