Janie Smith always pretended to be normal. When her witch bestie gets tangled in a murder investigation, she finds it hard to stick to the mundane and save the day. Janie snarks her way through the paranormal world, fumbling again and again, determined not to give into temptation... But when your closest pal is suspected to have murdered a vampire, how do you prove she didn’t kill someone who has no pulse?

Janie Smith is ready to get her life in order. She just needs to control her powers, feed without killing someone, deal with a sick witch sneezing spells, a vampire boyfriend committed by fate to another, and an ancient serial killer’s ghost hidden inside an unsuspecting human. Oh, and she must also put up with Queen Mab’s unwanted elfin fiancé while dodging Chance, her supposed soul mate, while helping her daughter adjust to life after divorce. Seriously, not a big deal.

Being the new wolf in town isn’t easy, but Lynwood Pierce is used to being on the outside. He often finds himself buried knee-deep in politics before he can figure out where the best place to grab a cup of coffee might be, but this small town is different—she is different. Dara is a bitch in more ways than one. Running a pack might not have been her dream job, but she’s a firm believer that life happens while you’re making other plans. A rogue on her turf means she’s going to fight, and she is ready to face the challenge. A woman with no plans to be tamed and a rootless wolf with no plans to stick around shouldn’t have more than a brief encounter and be done. However, when Dara meets Lynwood, the call to mate might drown out logic altogether.

When a gamer wolf searches for love, only an odd mate will do. Charly spends his days working in a used video game shop and most of his nights as the second to one of the rarest of their kind—a female Alpha. Most of the pack figured he and Dara had a thing, but her recent mating wakens a wave of unwelcome pity. He can't exactly admit the one wolf he ever loved left him years ago. At least, he can't until she reappears close enough for him to try again. Gretchen fell in love with a sweet, nerdy bear of a man, but ran fast and hard from his side when she realized he'd hate her for a genetic twist of fate she couldn't change. Now she's back in town and drawn to his side. A twist of fate leaves her with no choice—she can be near the man she's always loved again, but at what cost? She must betray him and everything he holds dear. Can a wolf sworn to destroy all coyotes claim a coywolf mate or will he be forced to obliterate the only girl he ever loved?

Carmen finds it hard to trust—then again, her father went mad and had to be put down by her current Alpha. Carmen might hold a position of power within the pack, but part of her always wonders if they could turn on her as quickly as they did him. When she finds a man who she’s pretty sure the current alpha failed on a lot of levels, she decides to take matters into her own hands and prove Dara isn’t as perfect of an alpha as everyone thinks. Seth lost his mate, but he survived. He couldn’t stand to watch other wolves happily carrying on with their lives and mates after he’d failed to protect his own. Dara allowed him his privacy and ensures that he survives, even if there are days when he wishes otherwise. When one headstrong and opinionated she-wolf decides she’s going to end the unique hell of his isolation, Seth has to make a choice… Kick her butt to the curb or answer the call to claim her. But can he dare claim another mate when he knows he failed once to be the man his mate needed?
