They say fire rained from the sky for seven days signaling the arrival of the monsters. They say humanity fought hard to beat them. They say the celestials saved us. They say a lot of things. Me? I deal in the present. In scouting for useful things and keeping my team alive outside the protective walls of our base. I might not have a fancy monster-killing blade like the Sweepers do, but I've avoided getting my face eaten off so far, so I call that a win. But when my base is taken by monsters, my scout skills are the only thing standing between imminent demise and survival.

Gwendolyn Jones is working on an article about werewolves, not that she believes they exist. But there are people out there who do, like the nervous man who slips her a flash drive with information he claims will prove to the world shifters are out there. Gwen starts questioning what to believe when two very real werewolves come knocking on her cabin door that night. Someone has a flash drive with pictures that could endanger his pack, and alpha Jacque LaForge will do whatever it takes to destroy it. But something deep inside him ignites when he knocks on the door of that "someone."

Kind, insistent, and refusing to go away, Granger Barnett is one of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever met. I imagine every woman in Rockhead Point wants a taste of the mountain man. Except me. When my RV breaks down, he shows up like the good Samaritan ready to save me, only I’m not looking for a hero. But it turns out no isn’t a word Granger hears that often, especially not from the woman he thinks is meant to be his. He says it’s fate, I’m confident he’s got the wrong girl.

When it's reinforced from a young age that you're unlovable, it becomes second nature to put walls around that fragile organ they call a heart. That is until a woman I can't forget shatters my world and I get a glimpse of everything I've ever wanted—a son I didn't know about, and the chance of finally having the family I've never had. I know Norrie lied but now I have them back I'll do whatever it takes to keep them. Even if that means blackmailing her into a marriage with a man she doesn't love so she can keep her son.

I’ve always known where I belong. I was born to wear the Dirty Soul patch. Club life is the only life I’ve ever wanted. The president, Jimmer Carson, raised me like a son, and he trusted me with his family. When tragedy strikes our club, the life I thought I knew is thrown into turmoil. Loyalties are questioned, bonds are severed, and rules are broken. For the first time in my life, I feel lost. She’s a complication I shouldn’t pursue. Far too perfect to be mine.

Everything I thought I knew about my world has been shattered. The only constant are the four Monsters keeping me and my people safe. My only comfort in my grief is Bastian, the last of my team. And our only certainty is that we need to find the pieces of the relic and put it back together. As Shem and I work together, I find myself dropping my guard around him. He's lethal, single-minded, and unyielding, and he's the only one that can help me put my world back to rights. But the road won't be easy, and trust comes at a cost.

Armand LaForge and his small pack are fighting for their lives against the vicious Louisiana pack they broke away from.

Louis LaForge's focus has always been on protecting his pack, but the instant attraction he feels to the artist who saves him changes everything.

For years, everyone believed Sylvie LaForge Dubois was dead, and she worked hard to keep it that way. Now that her abusive mate is dead, she's come back to face everyone. But it's harder than she thought it would be, especially when Gator Rollins watches her every move, making her uneasy and excited all at once. She never imagined she'd want another man, but her attraction to Gator is too strong to fight. Before Gator had the chance to tell Sylvie how he felt about her, she was mated to someone else and then killed. Now she's back, and there's nothing he won't do to protect her.

When the path to victory passes through Hell, all you can do is put on your walking boots. Shem's actions ripped out my heart, but they also bought us time to find the final relic piece. I'm at a loss as to where to look until an encounter with a powerful being promises answers and aid. All I need to do is find my way to Gehenna, the place humans know as Hell. As paths diverge and new goals are set, I know in my heart that this is our last chance to put our world to rights. Our last chance to make Shem's sacrifice count.

Mikhail Matheson may be an outsider in Salvation, but he stays with the pack to be close to his sister. It has nothing to with the fact that Elise—the most fascinating woman he's ever laid eyes on—is part of the pack. Mikhail has wanted Elise for years, but being with her could cost him his life. Soon he'll have to decide if he's going to leave the pack or risk it all to pursue a place at her side.

I'm ready for a new start on a new planet...Failed farm. Failed relationship. Failed family. I'm done with Earth and excited for a life with whatever alien will hire me. When I arrive on Macros and meet Urul, my attraction to him knocks the air out of my lungs. He's everything I could possibly want, and the heat burns hot between us, but he's keeping his distance. Is it because I can't have children of my own? I want to be first in my mate's heart. I won't be with a woman who is hung up on another man.

Elias Gallagher is the guardian of his teenage nephews, and he knows the world's not a safe place for a werewolf without pack—especially if they're half-breeds, like the twin boys. He's heard there's an accepting pack in North Carolina, so that's where he's headed when he runs into the one person he'd given up hope of ever finding—his mate. Even more surprising than finding his mate, is realizing she's human.

If someone had told me that I'd find a haven among monsters, I'd have laughed in their face. But I've learned to expect the unexpected. Now, with the world's fate hanging in the balance, it's time to take a leap of faith. Faith in myself. It means leaving Shem, the watchers, and Bastian behind. It means walking into Michael's arms and trusting that he'll keep me alive long enough for me to complete my mission. Because the third relic piece is hidden in the enemy camp, and I'm the only one who can get to it.

When an unexpected betrayal steals our sanctuary, only unity will save us. I trusted Michael and he betrayed us. With our sanctuary destroyed, we're on the run. Again. Shem and his watchers' step into the role of protectors once again but keeping a whole colony safe topside won't be easy. New threats stalk both day and night. The rules have changed. Time is running out. And for some of us, this journey will be the end of the road.

After Rina rejects her parents' choice for a mate, she's exiled from her pack. That's a dangerous position for any wolf to be in, and now she has a human hunter on her trail.
