Book boyfriends are real…buuut they’re also handsome murderers. I’m not exactly the hero type so when I witness some random dude get torn to pieces in an alleyway by a beast, no one is more surprised than me when I rush TOWARD the killer. Even more shocking is watching the rabid “dog” shift into a… very hot guy. Kash Montgomery is a murderer, a stalker—and apparently obsessed with me. He’s also my ticket to fame and fortune. All I have to do is “out” him as a werewolf to my followers and I’ll solidify my career as a professional book blogger forever. Easy-peasy. Except that Kash isn’t “easy” in any sense of the word. Not only is he dangerous, he’s just charming enough to make me feel guilty for trying to wreck his life. Instead, I find myself wanting to be part of it. But werewolf boyfriends are complicated AF. I was supposed to cry werewolf, not cry over one.

Romy thought that being kidnapped by a pack of douchebag werewolves was the worst thing that could happen to her. Turns out she's the worst thing that could've happened to them. Romy isn't going to let a little something like getting kidnapped get her down. She's determined to turn the tables on her captors. Using her wits and somewhat questionable charm, Romy uses her time in captivity to learn her captors secrets. But the secrets she discovers still hold her captive. Can she find a way to save more than herself? Or will the secrets she learned hold her prisoner long after she’s escaped?

Romy’s no stranger to a good old fashioned Instawar, but fighting behind her phone’s screen is a far cry from the real thing. Sure, Romy may have accidentally on purpose inserted herself in the middle of a werewolf war. And yeah, she’s kinda being hunted by an insane werebro with an axe to grind, but Romy isn’t going to let that stop her from living her best life. But first she’s going to have to fight for it. With graduation looming, Romy will be put to the test both in and out of the classroom, but as the final strands of this tangled web comes together, the biggest thing Romy will have to learn is to share the weight of war with the people she considers family. As the end draws near, they’ll all be forced to decide just how far they’re willing to go to get their happily ever after.

Talia DuPont deals in secrets. Hell, it’s practically a requirement in her line of work. And she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty to find the answers she seeks. But now Talia has a secret of her own… One she knows will change the course of her life forever. Before Talia can drop this bomb, she’s got one last mission to complete help her oldest friend track down a man with no face and no name. To make matters worse, she’ll have to do it at The Monster Ball, the most exclusive party in the supernatural world. A place where no weapons are allowed and the attire doesn’t exactly lend itself to combat. But if anyone can hunt down a stranger with only her wits as a weapon, it’s Talia. After all, how hard could it be to hunt down a shadow in the middle of the ocean on an unsinkable ship? Surely, not any harder than holding onto the secret she’s been carrying. Either way, by the end of the night, she’s determined to be done with both. \\originally published as part of The Monster Ball anthology
