How strong is the blood that binds? Tatiana Bolovich is a beautiful femme fatale with a haunting history. Having recently discovered the brutish Demetri Romanoff is her heartmate, she spent the past year avoiding him, but the Fates have other plans. Demetri commands every situation. A strong, valiant warrior he’s used to being in control, that is until he is kidnapped by demons. Forced to endure unspeakable experiments at the hands of his enemy, the Alpha discovers just how out of control life can get. Summoned by the Alpha Council, Tatiana grudgingly helps track Demetri down, promising herself that she will disappear from his life forever once the job is done. But matters of the heart are not so easily ignored. Will she give him a chance to prove himself, or will she deny her nature and slip away into the night?

Welcome to the True Mates series — a trilogy of connected stories filled with supernatural beasts, action, suspense, romance, mystery, drama, and spice. Each story in this series focuses on two unique characters and their journey to finding their true mate and happily ever after. Like most journeys, some are easier than others, but all face bumps in the road along the way. Some characters you’ll love, and others you’ll love to hate (and maybe learn to like in the end... or not). _____ Book 1 Quarantined with a Beast What if the beasts you wrote about were real? If they were knocking at your door, would you let them in? During a pandemic, Gracie is told to quarantine herself for two weeks. She thought spending her quarantine time out at her cabin, alone in the middle of nowhere, would be just the break she needed to get her steamy werewolf novel written. But Gracie might not be as alone as she thought. Will Gracie and her sanity survive two weeks at the cabin? Will she fall prey to the beasts scratching at her door? Will they stake their claim on her body, mind, and soul? _____ Book 2 Taken by a Beast He thinks women can't be trusted. She thinks mates aren't all they're cracked up to be. But when Zach meets his true mate, Bianca, he can't resist the need to haul her home with him, taking her away from everyone and everything she knows. Everything goes downhill from there. Bianca’s only ever known life with humans and now she's forced to live in a remote community full of shifters — as their alpha female. She struggles to adjust to her new life with a sexy mate who wants nothing to do with her. But she's not one to back down from a challenge, and by the time she's done, the pack will be hers and the alpha will be begging her to claim him. * This story is the bumpiest ride on the journey to happily ever after in this series, but this couple eventually gets to their destination. Taken by a Beast ends on a cliff-hanger with everything wrapped up in the next/final book in this series (Hunted by a Beast). _____ Book 3 Hunted by a Beast She's a fierce warrior, and he’s a pain in her… everything. Kaetlyn, is a fierce grizzly shifter who was rescued and adopted as a cub by a pack led by an alpha male wolf-shifter. Being the last of her kind and growing up under the thumb of an alpha with old, misogynistic beliefs made her turn her nose at the idea of having a mate. The mated pairs she knows have done little make her want to risk her independence. But her bear has other thoughts. Particularly when it comes to a certain burly wolf shifter named Angus, who refuses to leave her alone. Kaetlyn has other problems she needs to focus on besides the idiot following her around like a lost puppy. Their pack has been a mess since the arrival of their alpha female, and it's taking a toll on her bear's patience. Then someone takes advantage of the chaos and attacks the community, resulting in more new visitors, revelations, and chaos Kaetlyn isn’t prepared for. No, now's not the time for Kaetlyn to give into her bear's desires. Or is it the perfect time for just a taste of what her bear wants? ___ ⚠️ This is not a series for children.
