Asheville Arcana In their differences, they’ll find strength—and love. Alpha werewolf Eli Hammond returns from a fishing trip to discover a nasty surprise—five members of his pack murdered and the rest missing. He needs help locating and rescuing his pack mates, but the supernatural council in Asheville, North Carolina, turns him away. Except for one man. As they work together, Eli is stunned—and not especially thrilled—to discover half-elf Arden Gilmarin is his destined mate. But as Arden and his friends struggle to help Eli in his quest, Eli surrenders to the demands of his body—and his heart. They’ll need to bond together, because the forces opposing them are stronger and more sinister than anyone predicted. The evil has its sights set on Arden, and if Eli wants to save his mate and the people he is entrusted with protecting, he’s in for the fight of his life.

For three hundred years, Harlan Edgewood’s monthly shifts have been agonizing. Then he meets Whimsy Hickes—a mage who specializes in transformation—and the attraction is both immediate and mutual. But Harlan takes refuge in denial, believing his curse is too great a burden to inflict on any lover. But Whimsy knows he can help. When Harlan is provoked into an unexpected transformation, Whimsy uses his magic to ease Harlan’s pain, but with an unexpected consequence. While he’s shifted, Harlan’s wolf recognizes Whimsy as his mate. Yet even as they try to figure out their relationship given Harlan’s doubts, suspicious events in the Asheville magical community escalate. Shifters are disappearing, others are murdered, and Harlan’s curse makes him an obvious target. It will take all of Whimsy’s magic to drive back the rising evil—and if he fails, Harlan will lose not only his life, but his very soul.

Vampire Julian Schaden warned the Asheville Paranormal Council of an impending demonic incursion for decades. Over the past two years, he and his friends have fought hard with little help because Micah Carter, the demon hunter who should have led them, abandoned his responsibilities long before his death. In desperation, Julian visits the Carter property and finds a miracle: Thomas Carter, heir to a long line of demon hunters. Thomas knows nothing about the supernatural world, but the prospect of a real life outside the sheltered, isolated farm calls to him, and the idea of fighting the Unholy feels right. Thomas is too young and innocent for Julian, but opposites attract, and this is one battle Julian seems fated to lose. But a prophecy from a dying mage comes with a bleak warning: the upcoming battle will claim Thomas’s life. To keep the world safe, Julian may have to sacrifice the only love he’s ever known.
