The first seventy-two hours could determine who lives or who dies.
Keme Lopez needs to prepare his family for the apocalypse that he understands has already begun. Hesitation kills, and those who are slow to believe might not survive the first wave of anarchy. He must convince those he loves that this time the disaster is happening.
When all of the lower orbital satellites stop working, everyone is plunged into an apocalyptic world. Isolated in the small Texas town of Alpine, the Chihuahuan desert provides a natural buffer against a world gone mad. But some see the collapse as a chance to grab power, allies, and resources. Those people, left unchecked, could usher in the destruction of the place Keme calls home.
Whatever steps they take now, or fail to take, will determine their chances of survival as the world is covered in a Veil of Mystery.
Veil of Mystery is a short prequel to a new post-apocalyptic survival thriller series from USA Today Bestselling Author Vannetta Chapman. An exciting contribution to the genre of disaster fiction, this is a series that will leave you wondering what you could and couldn’t live without…and what you’d be willing to do to survive.

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.
