Rowan Baneville wasn’t looking for a second chance.

He definitely wasn’t looking for a human innkeeper with honey-blonde curls and a to-do list longer than the Veil is wide.

But the moment Diana Merrick opened the Hearth & Hollow Inn—and the door to his old life—his wolf decided she was his. No takesies backsies.

Now the Council’s watching her, the town’s testing her, and Rowan’s old pack is sniffing around like she’s prey.
Which she’s not.
She’s the woman who talks to walls, makes tea for ghosts, and earned every damn one of his scars with a single smile.

He tried to stay away.
He tried to keep her safe.
He tried not to fall in love.

Terrible plan.

She doesn’t just want his help.
She wants his heart, his home, and his favorite tools.

Read on for enemies-to-lovers, sacred bonding, war-forged intimacy, and an orc who worships with his blade and his mouth. HEA Guaranteed!

She’s human. I’m Ironspine.

We were supposed to meet on a battlefield—blade to throat, oath to grave.
Instead, I find her wounded in the ruins, bleeding trust where her uncle should’ve left a knife. She sees the savage in me and doesn’t flinch. So I show her what the old ways forgot:

Orcs don’t just fight. We claim.

The war between our peoples is older than the mountains we bled on. But now she’s mine. And I’ll rip through her entire House to keep her safe.

I didn’t survive my brother’s death to lose her.
Not to poison. Not to betrayal. Not to politics dressed in peace scrolls.
If I have to burn two kingdoms to protect what we built in the mountain’s heart, I will.

She chose me before the world did.

And now the world means nothing without her.

Read on for soulbond rituals, beast taming, heretic healers, and an orc warlord who was born to burn for just one woman. HEA Guaranteed!

She was supposed to be a bargaining chip.
A human healer with soft hands and dangerous eyes.

I should have broken her.
Instead, she healed my warriors. Challenged my rule.
And whispered the old magic that stirred the mountain.

Now the clan calls her flame-bound.

Mine to protect.
Mine to claim.

I marked her with my blood.
Bound her to my soul.
And I’ll carve down kingdoms to keep her.

The Church wants her silenced.
Her father wants her obedient.
But she’s kneeling at my fire, wearing nothing but my mark.

She gentled a war-beast with her bare hands.
What do you think she’ll do to me?

Read on for alpha commanders, sarcastic Earth geniuses, sabotage schemes, and a tiger shifter who would rather bite than beg. HEA Guaranteed!

Wren Calder had three rules: avoid emotional entanglements, fix the tech, and never trust a man who growls.

So naturally, she ended up on an alien planet, partnered with a tiger shifter who thought fated mates were a myth—until she rewired his defense systems and made his pulse crash like a corrupted server.

Commander Rylan Kaedor didn’t want a partner, much less a mate. But the moment Wren touched his firewall, both literally and emotionally, he knew two things: she was his, and he was completely screwed.

Now they’re navigating rogue hackers, rigged combat simulations, planetary politics, and a mate bond that won’t stop throbbing. She’s brilliant, mouthy, and refuses to call him “sir.” He’s growly, dangerous, and keeps offering to carry her home—on his shoulder.

Together, they might just win the Protocol Trials.
Or burn down the galaxy trying.

He didn’t need a mate.
Until she rewrote every rule he lived by.

Read on for prophecy-fueled foreplay, true-mate chaos, emotional support dryads, and a bloodmoon wolf who marks like he means it. HEA Guaranteed!

The prophecy said the bloodmoon wolf would destroy everything.
Ryker Dusk took that personally.

So he built a sanctuary, isolated himself from fate, and absolutely did not pine over the visions of a woman who haunted his dreams.
Until she showed up in town with a suitcase, a soulmate vibe, and a magical power that made the Veil start cracking like cheap glass.

Now the town’s under attack, the realm between worlds is bleeding shadow demons, and apparently the only way to fix it… is to mate.

Perfectly. Publicly. And without blowing a hole in reality.

No pressure.

But Sonya Sibyl isn’t afraid of prophecies. She’s afraid of Ryker ghosting again after they save the world.

Which is fair. He’s not exactly known for emotional stability. Or, you know, staying.

But destiny’s done waiting. And if these two don’t get their bond right on the first try, the Void’s going to turn Hollow Oak into a snack.

She saw the future. It included a lakeside wedding and a hot wolf husband.

Not cosmic annihilation because her man couldn’t commit.

Read on for prophecy mates, hybrid bloodlines, silver-resistant wolves, and an ancient Alpha who starts the apocalypse just to keep her. HEA Guaranteed!

She broke into sacred ground.
Stole what the High Council buried.
And triggered the prophecy that could end them all.

Alaric should have stopped her.
Instead, he watched her fight like fire—
and knew she was his.

Vivian was the last of her bloodline.
The rebellion’s weapon.
The Council’s greatest threat.

Claiming her meant war.
Mating her might ignite the entire shifter world.

But when silver blades came for her throat,
Alaric didn’t hesitate.
He tore down the kingdom he once ruled…
just to build her a new one.

She thought he was the cruelest Alpha in the territory.
Then he put his teeth in her neck.

She hasn’t stopped glowing since.

Read on for fated mates, bite marks, folklore gone feral, and a possessive wolf who files his papers but not his teeth. HEA Guaranteed!

Her empire died over an avocado. Her comeback began with a wolf.

Sera Quinn was once untouchable—sponsored posts, brand deals, millions of followers. Then one meltdown at Target turned her into the internet’s favorite punchline. Now broke and desperate, she stumbled into Hollow Oak, a town whispered about for its mist, its folklore, and its ability to chew up influencers whole.

She expected rustic vibes and maybe a story worth filming. What she got was Dr. Maddox Thorn — wolf shifter, folklore professor, and the grumpiest man alive, unless you counted the phoenix that hissed every time she opened her mouth.

He wanted silence. She wanted redemption. Instead, they got a fated mate bond, a monster with antlers crawling out of legend, and a federal agent insisting Sera was basically a weapon of mass destruction with good hair.

She brought a camera. He brought claws.

Read on for grumpy x sunshine, bear shifter mating bonds, magical small towns, and a heroine who can literally rewrite your dreams. HEA Guaranteed!

Kaia Monroe had two rules: never trust a fae, and never fall asleep near cursed lakes.

She broke both by accident.

Now she’s stuck in a cozy Appalachian town full of shapeshifters, witches, and suspiciously nice baked goods—and worst of all, she’s mated to a grumpy bear shifter who insists on protecting her from her nightmares. Literally. With claws. And maybe feelings.

Elias Vane didn’t ask for a mate to fall out of the sky. But the moment he fished her out of Moonmirror Lake, his bear called dibs. Now he’s rearranging patrols, dodging fae wedding planners, and trying not to scare the woman who smells like forever.

Unfortunately, Kaia’s childhood trauma summoned a nightmare warlock from the dream realm… and he wants her back.

Permanently.

She’ll have to choose: run from the people who care about her—or trust a sleepy mountain town (and one dangerously hot shifter) to fight for the dream of something real.

He brought her blankets. And snacks. And eternal soul-bonding.

Quinn Marrow had ninety-nine problems, and a growly, shirtless lion shifter with Alpha delusions of grandeur just became number one.

All she wanted was a quiet six-month sabbatical from her chaotic midwife practice. What she got was an emotionally constipated small-town Alpha with a hero complex, a town full of nosy lion people, and a mystical mate bond that came with pheromones, possessiveness, and absolutely no chill.

Caius Haider had spent fifteen years running a hidden shifter town, micromanaging his pride, and avoiding anything that even remotely smelled like feelings. Then Quinn showed up—bossy, brilliant, utterly off-limits—and knocked the air out of his lungs and the sense out of his head.

Now she’s tangled in pride politics, pregnancy conspiracies, murder plots, and worst of all – she might actually be in love with him.

There’s only one problem: when a wolf shifter starts poisoning their babies, this fiery human midwife and her brooding lion mate are going to have to claw their way through secrets, kidnappings, and a hell of a lot of emotional growth if they want to build their happily-ever-after.

Welcome to Leon. Bring snacks. Pack protection. And maybe… don’t piss off the midwife.

Read on for fated mates, botanical disaster, dryad curses, and a cinnamon roll tiger who only growls when you’re naked. HEA Guaranteed!

Freya Bloom wanted to sell tinctures, avoid commitment, and pretend her grandmother’s roses weren’t weeping black sap.

Instead, the town’s magical plants are dying, an ancient dryad is waking up cranky, and Hollow Oak has decided she’s their last line of defense.

Enter Kieran Holt: tiger shifter, reluctant hero, and aggressively hot in a “built my porch and ruined my boundaries” kind of way. The town council says he’s her magical backup. The universe says he’s her mate. Freya says absolutely not.

But the evil in the woods has other plans — and so do her roses.

She’s a legacy witch with control issues. He’s a lone shifter who’s allergic to feelings. Together, they’re Hollow Oak’s least qualified save-the-world plan.
