This book is one of two and does not contain an exact HEA as the reader may expect, yet. 

How does a person decide if their own life is worth sacrificing to save another? 

Shame holds onto a past that haunts him. Damaged by the parents that should have taught him unconditional love; they imprisoned him with violence and disregard. Even now, Shame struggles to find both the independence and love he deserves. 

Knowing the blood that runs through him is stained merely by reputation, Hem seeks acceptance while he searches for ways to redeem himself in the eyes of those that have judged him his entire life. 

Together the two have committed themselves to one purpose; protecting those they love the most. 

Mace Cash is Hem’s younger sister. Although they share the same mother, Mace’s father despises Hem and his position in the family. 

Sadey Lyons has loved Hem all of her life. Swearing to save herself for him, she’s determined to wait for him for as long as it takes; wanting only for him to see her as the woman she has become and not the little girl he’s always cherished. 

When Hem and Shame meet Doc, the President of Lights of Peril Motorcycle Club, their lives take a dramatic turn. Finally escaping from a past that has controlled them, they find themselves living free. 

But neither of them have known peace for long... 

This is their story of love, loyalty, and heartbreak.

Isabelle is in no position to refuse his offer to help her find a husband and reluctantly agrees, but what neither counts on is her future husband just might be the one she’s still secretly married to.

Excuse me? The last time I had checked I was still my own person. "Why's that, huh? Just because you and I had something going on, that doesn't mean--"

"Because you're fucking mine!" he yelled at the top of his lungs with his chest heaving and his eyes flashing at me like hard, crystal daggers. 

All breath left me. My heart was suddenly running a marathon as his words sunk in. What made me shiver was the look he had. It was a look that told me that he believed his words; that I was seriously his. 

"Whatever gave you that idea?" I managed to whisper, shocked. 

"You've always been mine," he murmured, looking torn. "You just wouldn't allow it." He sought my eyes while I glanced away, feeling too much.

Mission: Scent a Mate


Jordan Alvarez knew that a promise to her best friend involved staking out the local wolf pack's scenting ceremony and recording the graphic details, but she was the writer and the only one with the balls to finish the task. No one would know that four human women had sneaked proof of their rituals, or at least, that was the plan until Aric Wolfe showed up.

Mission: Stake a Claim

Aric Wolfe knew his baby sister was up to something, and expected her best friend, Jordan, to be in on the chaos. He finally had an opportunity to lay claim to a mate that had been under his nose for years. Jordan's scent called to both the man and the animal, and he was done fighting the call of the beast. It was time to mark his mate.

Mission: Survive an Alpha


When a good intention creates a problem for the Wolfe family, Jordan finds herself being stalked by a woman intent on claiming Aric as her own. Battle lines will be drawn, love will be put to the test, and Aric will have to fight Jordan's strong personality to keep her alive. Two alpha hearts seeking control will either find the balance or risk losing their love forever.
