But she's not interested in being anything more than colleagues - this definitely isn't the right time for a summer affair.

Six people are dead - including the pilots.

We’d heard rumors about the Vandar raiders — everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path. Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships — and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens boarded our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do. I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord.

Gus wasn't just my president. He was the father I never had. He was steadfast and strong. I looked up to him and trusted him without question. I'd never seen the man show a single sign of uncertainty until the day August James showed up at the Satan's Fury clubhouse. None of us knew why the beautiful brunette had come knocking at our door, but it was clear that her arrival had caught Gus by surprise.

In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge. Nothing else mattered, not even my own life, until her: Skyler Bell. It all started the first time I heard that voice, giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once - consuming, maddening, forever, mine. Except I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared, lies that needed to be confessed, truths that needed to be told, demons that needed to be buried. Once I realized that the depth, the longing, and the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored my own, it was too late.

I love my life. As owner and chef at one of the hottest restaurants, I know how to keep things sizzling in and out of the kitchen. What more could I ask for? But I’ll tell you what I didn’t ask for...a klutzy, curly-haired woman slamming into me with a unicorn cake. Yes, you read that right - a damn cake decorated to look like the mythical creature bathed in every color of the rainbow. What could be worse, right? I’ll tell you. My brother hired her to be my pastry chef. You’d think that would be my biggest problem, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Rejection. That's what I get for trying to save a girl who obviously doesn't want saving. Paying off her father's debt so she can stop taking off her clothes for other people? That was a no brainer. Obviously, I hoped she'd fall victim to my irresistible charm. My selflessness. But no. I've offended her independent spirit, and instead of falling for me, she's doing everything she can to avoid me. I should forget all about Ellie Masters, but I'm a sucker for her sassy smile and that fiery, luscious mouth.

For the past century, I have served, defending my crops in solitude, baring my scythe as an omen. But when the crops aren't seeded, I find myself standing over a field of dirt and weeds. It is her fault. The female who has inherited the farm. She might be the new queen of these lands, but in her wake, she brings only ruin. So, I will scare her away. I will claim these fields, and she will learn to fear me! Until one evening, she is attacked by the crows. She cowers behind me for protection, begging them to spare her life.

Zelena Ortega thought she knew the price of fame. Long hours and a lack of free time didn't matter when the payoff made her feel so alive. Performing music that comes from her heart to enthusiastic crowds of ecstatic fans—there's no other feeling like it in the world. But when the spotlights drop and the buzz fades, she's left empty and alone. There's only one bright spot in that darkness, and it would be a huge risk to make a move on the Beta bodyguard who takes such good care of her while her contract forbids her from claiming mates, true or chosen.

Leanne Leto spent most of her life running from the truth. Now that her biggest secret is out in the open, she vows to get over her bone-deep fear of Alphas to make a fresh start in Cressidan City. Admitting what she truly wants out of her life, she starts the career she's always craved. The only trouble is she's forced to work closely with Alphas who know every detail about her past. Falling for the men she works with isn't part of her plan, but she's not sure she has the strength to resist their allure. Can this pack help heal her heart, or is she doomed to forever be ruined by Alphas?

It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes. Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught.

As a bodyguard, I have one rule: don't get attached. Yet Daisy's got me hooked. When I'm asked to protect her, I can't resist. She's warmth and kindness wrapped up in a curvy package, and I'm willing to cross any line to keep her safe. Almost. No matter how torn I am between duty and desire, there’s only one chance I can’t take. For her, I’ll risk anything—except for my heart.
