Just when Emmett thought things couldn't get any worse... Orphaned at the age of nine and sent to live with his abusive uncle, Emmett Keefer felt his life was over before it even began. Eleven years later, desperation gives him the courage to run…right in front of a moving vehicle. Not his smartest decision, but he can’t be too upset when he winds up in the arms of his gorgeous hunk of a rescuer. As a mixed breed wolf shifter, Ryker Sullivan long ago accepted that he would never be Alpha of his own pack. Instead, he focuses on saving other shifters from being persecuted or, worse, killed for not being pure breeds. Getting involved with the human who ran in front of his truck would be a giant mistake, but he can’t just walk away after nearly running over the guy. The attraction is instant on both sides and giving into a one-night stand seems harmless, but neither man is prepared for the truth about Emmett and how his mother died…or how it will change their lives forever.

Marco knew Kai was his true mate, but to keep him alive, he had no choice but to let him go. On the run from his panther clan and family, Marco had tried to bury his shifter side and settled into a near-human existence, working as a medic for the ranger service. All that had gone to hell when he met Kai and fell instantly for the gorgeous omega, putting them both at risk from the torture and death he had escaped from. Nobody had ever wanted Kai—not his family, not the alphas he’d been sold to, and now not even his true mate. Rejected and humiliated, Kai runs right into the exact trouble Marco had tried to save him from. Finally, just as Marco gets him back, a betrayal he never saw coming hits them both harder than either of them were ready for. Marco won’t just need to battle to save Kai and their unborn child—he’s going to have to start a war that’s never been fought. And he’s going to have to win.

Alpha-heir and active-duty marine Kyle Clarey never meant to challenge his uncle for the pack, but his uncle’s betrayal left him little choice. Abused and bullied by his brother, Cyrus Armstrong is forced to deceive Kyle into thinking he can be the omega mate Kyle needs and to give him pups. Cyrus promises himself he will tell the gorgeous Alpha before things go any further, but then he goes into heat unexpectedly and wakes the next morning in Kyle’s bed along with a large mating bite on his neck. Knowing Kyle’s punishment will be severe when he realizes he’s been fooled, and he will probably die. When Cyrus realizes what is actually going to happen, he might wish he had.

Zeke has always had the strength to fight for what he loves. But this time will he have the strength to walk away? The shifter pack call him a human alpha, but Zeke Coleman knows he’ll never be one of them. Not really. And he hasn’t let it bother him in years, not until he meets a beautiful, damaged omega Darriel—and falls hard for the second time in his life. After years of abuse, it takes a long time for Darriel to trust again, especially a human. But Zeke’s hang-ups about age and his place among shifters keep them apart, and Darriel forces himself to move on for the sake of his children. No matter how much he loves Zeke, Darriel refuses to risk another alpha who won’t love him back the way deserves. But when Zeke is kidnapped and tortured by a panther clan, they can’t stay away from each other any longer. The problem is, everyone in Zeke’s life is in danger now, and he’s the only one who knows what’s going on. Even telling Darriel the truth could get him killed. And he might be nothing more than a weak human, but Zeke will fight to the death before letting shifters hurt someone else he loves. Sometimes it’s not about being an alpha in his body. It’s about being an alpha in his soul.

What would it take to simply give up? Barely nothing. Matthew "Red" Carter's life had been over since his mate had returned to be the tiger prince he was born to be. The mate Red would never—could never—measure up to. His life had been over since he was seventeen, and Bodhi's was a bright spark that was just beginning. It would have been simple had Bodhi agreed. But Bodhi had other ideas. Stolen as a newborn cub, Bodhi had only ever learned to hide. Hide from those that would hurt him, and hide from himself. Bodhi knew Red was his mate, bound by loss and facing a future neither wanted, maybe the time was right for another lesson? The only weapon he had was love, but this fight wasn't one he was prepared to lose.

How many times did you get beaten down before you stayed there? Charles had survived abject cruelty for twenty years, the loss of his babies, and any family. Now, when he was in what was supposed to be a safe space, he didn't think he could take one more hit. Fox Turner—so named because he played fast and loose with those that saw him as easy, was really hiding a betrayal he didn't think he would ever recover from. Can two damaged souls ever make a whole? Or will the sins of their fathers make them turn away from each other, and the hope and love they might find?
