He didn’t want to be a Para. But she just might make it worth it. In a world where paranormals live side by side with humans, everybody knows about Ordinance 7304: the Bond Laws. Or, as the Paras snidely whisper to each other, the Claws Clause —a long and detailed set of laws that bonded couples must obey if they want their union to be recognized. Because it wasn’t already damn near impossible to find a fated mate in the first place. Now the government just has to get involved… *Book three in a series of interconnected standalones — each with their own HEA! I hide— Adam Wright can’t face what he’s become. He used to be human. Key words: used to be . After a run-in with a dangerous Nightwalker left him changed , Adam has one goal in mind: revenge. He quits his job as a Grayson police officer, choosing instead to go rogue. He refuses to give up until he’s taken the king’s head and destroyed the clan that did this to him. What was it the vampire said before he left Adam for dead? A life for a life? That sounds about right. After that… well, he never wanted to be a Para. They might have made him one. Doesn’t mean he plans on staying that way. He lost Evangeline to that wolf. He lost his humanity to a vamp. What’s to stop him from walking into the sun? Nothing—until he meets Tabby. I hunt— Tabitha Winslow has a secret. As a distant relative of the infamous Van Helsing slayers, her family has always known that paranormals live alongside humans. They also know how dangerous some of the more vicious races can be. For hundreds of years they’ve regarded their line as protectors. And then the Paras revealed their existence fifty years ago. The slayers didn’t. By day, she’s a normal, happy-go-lucky chick just trying to make sense of the world. By night, she’s like Buffy 2.0, especially when it comes to her newfound tendency to kiss the vamp she’s supposed to be hunting. Oops. Can she help it? There’s something about the brooding blond Nightwalker who keeps showing up on all of her hunts. He’s strong, he’s quick, and he gets her blood pumping in a way that has nothing to do with going after the rogue sect of Para killers. Maybe her family is wrong. Maybe there is such thing as a good Nightwalker. One thing for sure? Tabby’s going to find out. When Adam discovers that there’s one chance for him to go back to being human, nothing can stop him from following that lead. Not even the bubblegum-popping, gorgeous blonde who seems to be getting into trouble every time he turns around. He has to partner up with Tabby. He’s afraid what might happen to her if he’s not there to save her.

Til death do they part… Omegas are prized. I’ve always known that. Just like I grew up knowing that I would need a powerful mate to protect me. I wasn’t worried. I had Bishop—my overprotective alpha brother—to watch out for me, and then I fell in love with his best friend, Weston. A beta wolf, he was high enough in the pack that he would be a good match. And he loved me, too. I couldn’t choose anyone better. Too bad it wasn’t my choice. Three years ago, I discovered that I was fated to be the mate of the future Gravetail Alpha. Because of his rank, he couldn’t claim me as his until after he was installed as Alpha, but it didn’t matter. From the moment the Luna whispered my name to him, I was as good as promised to Rafael. With our alliance on the line, I had no choice. And that meant I had to say goodbye to West. Only… he didn’t take it too well. Even after the Luna blessed him with a fated mate of his own, he rejected Quinn Malone, even while I counted down the months until I’d finally have to leave Hickory. It’s my duty. As the Omega, I don’t have the luxury of choosing my own mate like Quinn did, and as much as it hurts, it’s for the best when West finally becomes as cold and distant with me as he is with others. I should’ve known better. After a five-year love affair, I should’ve known that meant he was up to something. And when I wake up one morning in an unfamiliar den with a ring on my finger and a mark on my shoulder, I find out exactly what it is. Weston Reed has stolen me from our pack, and he won’t let me go until I accept what he swears he’s always known: that, fate or no fate, we’re meant to be. This Omega will be the Beta’s bride—or no male’s. *** *The Beta’s Bride is the second book in the Stolen Mates series. After Quinn found her forever with Chase, West decides it’s now or never. He’ll either have Helene for his mate, or… well, there is no or . And Helene? Alone with the male she’s always loved, she begins to accept that he might be right.

In the kingdom of Calatini, an enchanted ballgown and a magical evening can change everything. Orphanage matron Kiera didn’t expect that sneaking into a masquerade wearing a bespelled ballgown would lead to a magical evening with the king, but for King Devon, it couldn’t be more perfect. Kiera is intelligent, compassionate, and strong, everything he longs to find in a wife… and a queen. And Devon needs a queen now: a generations-old treaty with the nightmara herds is due for renewal, and the matriarchal nightmara deal only with women. Yet when he asks Kiera to marry him, she can’t believe he’s serious—he’s the king and far above her station. So to prove his love and win her heart, Devon convinces Kiera to act as his betrothed to negotiate with the nightmara for the good of the kingdom. But once the treaty is signed, Kiera is certain their love affair will come to an end. She’ll return to her life at the orphanage, and Devon will find a suitable noblewoman to marry. Because surely a king couldn’t really marry a poor commoner like Kiera… right? The Nightmara Affair is a warm-hearted Cinderella romance with a steel-willed heroine and a noble, kind hero. This rags-to-riches love story is part of the Calatini Tales series of Regency-inspired historical fantasy romance novels and is perfect for T. Kingfisher fans.
