Miller is also gone. The whole pack is destroyed. Nobody survived.” I held the phone away from my ear trying to make sense of what was being told to me. “You’re lying. I will rip your head off, you sick fool. How dare you tell such disgusting lies.” I exclaimed as tears brimmed my eyes and started to fall down my cheeks. Isla, a hybrid wolf witch, grapples with her powers while keeping her true nature hidden due to her mate's family's aversion to witches. However, a heartbreaking message from her former pack shatters her world, compelling her to confront her true identity and the immense obstacles that lie ahead. Will Isla find the strength to accept her hybrid nature and discover redemption? Can she transform her perspective on her powers from a curse to a blessing, ultimately finding acceptance and belonging? As she embarks on a challenging journey, Isla's quest for self-acceptance unfolds, revealing the profound impact of embracing her unique abilities. In a poignant exploration of identity and resilience, Isla's struggles illuminate the path to her redemption. Her transformation unfolds as she confronts her inner conflicts, societal prejudices, and the healing power of self-acceptance. Will Isla ultimately reconcile her hybrid nature, recognize the inherent value of her powers, and forge a path where she finally feels accepted? The answers lie in her unwavering determination and the trials she must overcome along the way.

With her mother's death during childbirth, she became a pariah among her own family and pack. Subjected to abuse from her father and sister, her life was a constant torment. On her eighteenth birthday, Danika discovered her sister with her own mate and was consumed by rage. In a moment of desperation, she attempted to take her sister's life, which resulted in her arrest and imprisonment. Condemned to death, her execution required the approval of the Alpha King. Alonso Lockhart, having lost his mate to rogue wolves, had resigned himself to a life of solitude and grief.

It was up to them to overcome these obstacles and find solace in each other's arms, forging their own path towards a happily ever after.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daddy, please! Please don’t do this!” I begged with my hands. “It’s done, Tegan. The contract is signed. You will leave tonight to be the Alpha King’s contracted mate. You will bear him an heir within three months, or you will regret it!” He roared out, his face showing me just how angry he truly was. I silently wept at the cards fate played me. I will be nothing more than a baby-making machine for the cruelest Alpha known, Ezra Hendricks. Tegan Declan is a shy she-wolf who was born deaf. She is starting a new life as a disabled wolf in a new pack. She is the new contracted mate to the Alpha King, Ezra Hendricks. “Being deaf was a quality I would hate my son to have. As a wolf, you need all your senses to be able to lead, protect, and stay alive. Lacking hearing would not benefit anyone; it could lead to mass destruction and the loss of many lives. It would not be a good quality for a king. This brought me back to my question. What makes her think she is fit to be my Queen? I want to know what she thinks her strengths are. Would they outweigh her weaknesses?”

I, Daemon Fenrirson, future Alpha of Black Moon, reject you Abigail Stone-Goldmoon as my mate and Luna." When Abigail hears the crushing words of her mate, her heart shatters into a million pieces. The pain of being deemed unworthy is almost unbearable. Born as a hybrid, part wolf, part witch, Abigail is bullied and mistreated because of that. As she's rejected on her 18th birthday, she experiences the first taste of what her life is going to throw at her. Abigail knows her fate is going to be difficult, but the Goddesses have it in store for her. Fate hands Abigail a second chance mate and pack, she will be powerful, maybe even more so than anyone knew and she will have to be ready to fight for the freedom of the entire realm and all their people. But with danger lurking around every corner, will Abigail be able to rise to the challenge and fulfill her fate as a powerful Luna?

Book excerpt: My three intended mates left me rejected, half-marked, and broken. Every wolf shifter dreams about her first night with her mates, but mine left me an outcast with the revelation that I'm really a hybrid. A hybrid between a wolf and what is the question. Only my late mother knows the answer, but these days, I have other things to worry about. Namely, being caught in a war between my gorgeous jerk of a boss and the hunter who's somehow become my friend with benefits. Until the consequences of my incomplete mating mark leave me in physical anguish each full moon, that is--and the only thing keeping the monster in my veins at bay is the dark gift of a vampire lord who thinks I'm something else entirely. Something that makes me more dangerous than anyone could have imagined--especially me. Like I don't have enough infuriating (but admittedly tantalizing) alpha males on my plate, now the three wolves who threw me away are back, trying to stake their claim now that I'm their only hope of overthrowing my unhinged father as regional alpha. If the men in my life don't make up their minds soon, I'm booking a one-way ticket to an all-female island. Their Rejected Mate is a full-length Rejected Mates Wolf Shifter Romance, and the first in the Luna Rejected series. This series features four alpha male anti-hero love interests, an unbreakable heroine who keeps them in check, and in true Reverse Harem fashion, the MC doesn't have to choose between her guys. Includes MFM and eventual MMF content.

They uncovered a mystery in their past, how their present life was manipulated and the need to fight for their future. This led to work together and pursuit their real fate -through love and hate- to test if they're are truly each other's soulmate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three post-apocalyptic motorcycle club novels by New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Tyler! Defiance Rebelling against her legacy as the MC's princess, Tru Tennyson escaped the ruthless, male-dominated culture of the Defiance motorcycle club. Three years later, her newfound freedom is ripped away, thanks to a massive hybrid storm that killed millions. Now, in the post-Chaos world of semi-darkness and near-total anarchy where gangs rule, Defiance—and the only man Tru has ever loved—may be all that can keep her safe. Redemption Matthias Robichaud is looking for an alliance. The Defiance motorcycle club is a stronghold in the dangerous world that's become the new norm and he's driven to prove he's tough enough to be a full member. But when he sees beautiful, spirited Jessa Everson abducted by a rival MC, rescuing her jeopardizes all he's worked for. And if Matthias and Jessa have any chance of surviving, they'll need to put their full strength behind the MC…and hope that the MC will do the same for them. Salvation Luna Davies knows exactly what the men who run motorcycle clubs are capable of—the ruthless violence, the grabs for power, the brutal treatment of women. Bishop, the one bright spot in her dark world, is being held against his will by a rival gang after sacrificing himself for the sake of the club—without saying goodbye first. Luna needs to bring Bishop home to Defiance, both for the good of the MC and for herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! "A powerful debut that proves the threads that interweave our lives can withstand time and any tide, and bind our hearts forever."—Susanna Kearsley, New York Times bestselling author of Belleweather and The Vanished Days A historical novel inspired by true events, Kelli Estes's brilliant and atmospheric debut is a poignant tale of two women determined to do the right thing, highlighting the power of our own stories. The smallest items can hold centuries of secrets... While exploring her aunt's island estate, Inara Erickson is captivated by an elaborately stitched piece of fabric hidden in the house. The truth behind the silk sleeve dated back to 1886, when Mei Lien, the lone survivor of a cruel purge of the Chinese in Seattle found refuge on Orcas Island and shared her tragic experience by embroidering it. As Inara peels back layer upon layer of the centuries of secrets the sleeve holds, her life becomes interwoven with that of Mei Lein. Through the stories Mei Lein tells in silk, Inara uncovers a tragic truth that will shake her family to its core—and force her to make an impossible choice. Should she bring shame to her family and risk everything by telling the truth, or tell no one and dishonor Mei Lien's memory? A touching and tender book for fans of Marie Benedict, Susanna Kearsley, and Duncan Jepson, The Girl Who Wrote in Silk is a dual-time period novel that explores how a delicate piece of silk interweaves the past and the present, reminding us that today's actions have far reaching implications. Praise for The Girl Who Wrote in Silk: "A beautiful, elegiac novel, as finely and delicately woven as the title suggests. Kelli Estes spins a spellbinding tale that illuminates the past in all its brutality and beauty, and the humanity that binds us all together." —Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of The Beekeeper's Ball "A touching and tender story about discovering the past to bring peace to the present." —Duncan Jepson, author of All the Flowers in Shanghai "Vibrant and tragic, The Girl Who Wrote in Silk explores a horrific, little-known era in our nation's history. Estes sensitively alternates between Mei Lien, a young Chinese-American girl who lived in the late 1800s, and Inara, a modern recent college grad who sets Mei Lien's story free." —Margaret Dilloway, author of How to Be an American Housewife and Sisters of Heart and Snow

This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the myths and legends that fashioned the identities of ancient city-states to the diversity of literary performance in contemporary cities around the world, literature and the city are inseparably entwined. The international team of scholars in this volume offers a comprehensive, accessible survey of the literary city, exploring the myriad cities that authors create and the genres in which cities appear. Early chapters consider the literary legacies of historical and symbolic cities from antiquity to the early modern period. Subsequent chapters consider the importance of literature to the rise of the urban public sphere; the affective experience of city life; the interplay of the urban landscape and memory; the form of the literary city and its responsiveness to social, cultural and technological change; dystopian, nocturnal, pastoral and sublime cities; cities shaped by colonialism and postcolonialism; and the cities of economic, sexual, cultural and linguistic outsiders.
