Wolf's Midlife Secret Child
2023
When I ran out on Max sixteen years ago, I never expected to be captured by my wolf pack.
Or pregnant with Max’s daughter.
When Max and I got into an argument all those years ago
Over deciding the best way to raise our little boy,
I needed to blow off steam and take a walk.
Little did I know my father would have me captured,
Demoted to the lowest member of our pack,
And living a life of servitude.
As Alpha of the Greystones,
He never accepted me being mated to a Glenwood,
Knowing a witch bloodline runs through their veins.
So when I discover I’m pregnant,
I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my baby girl safe.
But when her magical abilities emerge sixteen years later,
I beg her to keep them locked away for her safety—Until they prove to be our key to freedom.
Max is in for the shock of his life.
He’d been told I was killed long ago,
But here I am on his doorstep at forty,
With the teenage daughter he never knew he had.

Rejected Midlife Wolf
2023
I thought Gage and I were destined to be together forever.
Until he rejected me and abandoned our pack.
I found my fated mate over twenty years ago,
But got impatient waiting for him to admit his feelings.
In my infinite teen wisdom,
I cast a love spell to give him a nudge.
But my plan failed miserably when I botched it,
And Gage rejected me in front of our whole pack instead.
My dating history has been hilariously bad ever since,
So between my exhausting job as an ER nurse
And my duties as the Glenwood pack healer,
I’d resigned myself to becoming a crazy old spinster wolf witch.
Until Gage is rushed into the ER one night,
Unconscious and badly hurt.
The docs don’t think he’ll make it,
But they don’t know I’ve got magic on my side.
As he’s caught in limbo, I try to bring him back from the brink,
But he’s too far gone, and my wolf howls in agony.
Until suddenly, he calls my name.
Now that he’s back, will he break my heart all over again,
Or is fate finally giving us a second chance at forty?

Turned by the Midlife Wolf
2023
At 46, I went back to college to learn about mythical creatures.
I never thought my hot professor would turn me into one.
After giving my life to raising my daughters,
It was time for me to live out my dream
And go back to school to get my degree.
Meeting a cute guy my age in the coffee shop,
I thought my first day was off to a great start.
Until I got to class and realized Sean was my professor.
My daughter says he’s the campus crush,
But just like the creatures in his folklore lectures,
His private life is shrouded in mystery—Which only made me want to find out more.
I signed up for an extra credit field trip,
Looking for Bigfoot in the woods.
But when my car broke down and he drove me home,
The professor gave me an education I’ll never forget.
I’m his student, so we’re forbidden to be together,
But that’s just the beginning of my troubles.
During another outing, I’m shot by a hunter,
And as I lay dying in the forest,
Sean offers me a second chance at life.
He changes into a wolf right before my eyes,
And when he bites me, I return from the brink of death—As a wolf, just like him.

Too bad he’s a feral wolf.
After years of being alone on New Year’s Eve,
I finally had someone to kiss.

Right before the biggest snowstorm hit in decades.
Being snowed in up in the mountains sounded romantic—Until I caught him with another woman at midnight.
In a blizzard of my own fury,
I grabbed the keys to his sports car and took off.
But my wintery escape only got me so far,
Because I slid off the road, crashed, and blacked out.
I came to in a rugged stranger’s cabin,
But it turns out he’s not such a stranger to my wolf.
I was rescued by my fated mate,
And with all this snow, I can’t leave anytime soon.
Looks like fate finally decided to give me a break—Until I learn Carter’s more than just a hot mountain man.

We couldn’t be further apart.
It’s a complicated mess, but it doesn’t end there.
