"JACE: In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I've found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I'm not sure how to deal with my new . . . attributes as a wolfman.
I'm destined to be alone now; at least that's what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota.
Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate. Now I'll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I've become.
DAKOTA: When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance.
Opening Paws Up is going well. The town is welcoming and a little odd. I'll be able to stay out of trouble and focus on the business.
Then Jace growls his way into my life. He's a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can't understand why. Hopefully my past won't come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I'm knot running from fate.
Contains mature themes."
"Dakota needs help. Badly.
The last thing she expects is for the Bad Boy of Eternal Eros to step in, sweep her off her feet, and offer his protection.
Maybe she accepts because they were matched up at the last singles night. Maybe it was the scorching passion she experienced at his skilled hands. Maybe it’s the way he dotes on her daughter.
All she knows is that the more the lines between reality and fantasy blur, the harder it will be to let him go. The more time he spends posing as her fake fiancé, the more she realizes she’s no longer faking her feelings. With every touch, every kiss, every heated glance, she realizes she wants more than one night. She wants the scarred bad boy’s heart to be hers for all time."
"Sophia is in trouble. Again.
Maybe it’s the masks. Maybe she needs to feel something other than regret.
Whatever the reason, she is either daring… or foolish… when she trades places with another submissive, and ends up spending the night in her mysterious boss’s bed.
He doesn’t recognize her, but now she’s had him, she knows one taste of his dark love will never be enough.
Gabriel Ryan has one firm rule: don’t sleep with employees.
Even though he’s infuriated beyond measure to discover Sophia in his bed after a night of mind-blowing pleasure, she is now in his blood. He craves her. Needs her. Yearns for her surrender.
But she is forbidden. He will break her with his dark desires.
When Sophia’s dangerous past waltzes into his club, Gabriel must protect her. He must claim her. And break every single one of his rules to keep her safe."
