Terminal Secret

When an attorney is murdered on her doorstep in a wealthy DC enclave, Detective Earl Wallace and his new partner are assigned to the case. As the detectives uncover the details surrounding the suspicious death, a visit to the Medical Examiner provides evidence that sends their investigation into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Dan Lord – a private investigator with a law degree who operates in the gray area of the legal system – has a new client. Hired by a congressman’s wife who fears for her safety, Dan soon learns she isn’t telling him the whole truth. A secret from her past has taken a deadly turn, and Dan’s latest client is proving to be his most dangerous. As Dan and the DC detectives work their respective cases, a random street crime brings them crashing together, revealing that both investigations are connected to a string of unsolved murders. Working as a team, each new piece of evidence puts Dan and the detectives closer to their suspect . . . and closer to danger. To survive, they need to learn the truth behind one Terminal Secret.

The Feral’s Captive

There’s no escaping him…

Fate sucks.

As a shifter, I’ve always known that Fate—in the form of our goddess, the revered Luna—would have the final say when it came to my life. That includes everything: my pack, my rank, even my forever mate.

And I hate it.

I want to choose. I want my life to be mine, and if that makes me the odd one out in our pack? Oh, well. As a delta, it’s not like the higher ranks—our Alpha, his Beta, and the pack council—have much use for me anyway.

Still, even I’ll admit I’ve always been drawn to the Beta of the Sylvan Pack. When I discover that he’s my fated mate, it seems like giving in to the Luna’s demands might not be such a bad thing after all—until he rejects me for a female he can’t even have.

Because, yeah. Not only does Fate suck, it has a twisted sense of humor when it comes to me.

So that’s that. I have to pretend like my broken bond isn’t a constant ache while watching as my fated mate begs for table scraps from another wolf.

Is it any wonder that I start spending my free time in the woods surrounding our territory?

I wasn’t afraid. Even at my low rank, I know I’m scarier than anything else that lurks in the darkness of the trees. But I was wrong—and when I see those insane golden eyes staring at me, I know I’m in deep, deep trouble.

My name is Quinn Malone, and I’ve just been captured by a feral…

***

*The Feral’s Captive is the first book in the Stolen Mates trilogy of three interconnected standalones. Set in the same world as Never His Mate, shifters are an open secret, most humans are off-limits, and a feral wolf shifter male is wiling to sacrifice everything to steal the female he believes will make him sane again. And though it may not be fated, Quinn and Chase’s bond is just as undeniable…

This book is a rejected mates romance — with Quinn first being rejected, then doing the rejecting — but it’s also a captive romance. It isn’t dark, though shifters and vampires can be violent, but Quinn doesn’t mind being abducted… once she understands Chase’s motives. A shifter takes being chained up a little differently than a human would, and it doesn’t take much for her to realize that her feral is actually trying to court her — and she wants him to.

Waking Lucy

Lucy dreamed of marrying Samuel until she woke up as his wife.

Dismissed after a disastrous year at the newly created Harvard Medical School, Samuel buries his dreams of the future. Shamed by his dismissal, he returns to his north shore home, where he avoids his lifelong friend Lucy dismissing all ideas of marrying her.
Lucy pretends Samuel’s rejection means little as she helps her family on their farm until an early New England blizzard brings challenges and death to her door. When it is over, Lucy lays in her cabin near death with only five-year-old Sally to aid her. Samuel discovers Lucy delirious with fever and endeavors to save her. Unwittingly, he puts her reputation in danger. At his parents’ insistence, Samuel is forced to marry a barely conscious Lucy.
Lucy awakens to a reality more bizarre than her dreams. Sure that Samuel’s vows are coerced, she does everything in her power to convince him to annul the marriage. With the help of his mother and Sarah, Samuel sets out to prove to Lucy that the vows he took are permanent, if she will give him a second chance.
