That night while running for my life, I jumped into Bill Haynes. Ex-military, tough, handsome, and sexy as could be. Even in my disarrayed mind I was not blind to this. Three men brutally killed my boyfriend in front of me. They were coming after me now. And then Bill offered to keep me safe, helping me fight. I was dangerously close to falling for him. And I knew it could turn deadly… But he promised to be my savage protector, or he would die trying.

Fluorescent orange goo, one deranged raccoon, and a road trip to the bottom of the lake can be life-changing for anybody, right? Goodness knows Zoey’s life was never the same, but like everything else in her twenty-plus years, even returning from the dead didn’t go as planned.

All the planning in the world can’t beat dumb luck… …Even if your dad just happens to be Lugh, the Celtic God of the Sun, and you’re one of the most powerful Guardsmen to ever walk the earth. No matter how hard Kayne tries, Fate and Destiny always drop a steamy pile of nasty crap right in his path. And, of course, he’s left to clean up the mess. But then he found her. Ancient, mysterious, and completely irresistible… Pearl flew into his life, poured light into his soul, and dropped the old jokester to his knees with little more than a wide-eyed glance and a flick of her tail feathers. Evil never takes a holiday…especially where finding your Mate is concerned. Faced with a powerfully destructive force manufactured by madmen and sent out to destroy all things - be they Magical or Human - it’s up to the Demi-God and his Strix to exterminate not only the menace but also its Maker. Save your Mate or save your kin? That’s what this Guardsman must decide. Fate Will Not Be Denied…But even She has her limits.

Back to the swamp. Back to the Wolves. Back to her… Lightning struck the moment he laid eyes on Star. Okay, yeah, she wouldn’t give him the time of day, but Grey thought he had nothing but time – then he was called home. Now, he’s heading back to the sweltering heat of the Florida Swamp and this time she will be his. Fight the rogues. Fight the Wizards. Fight the attraction she has for him… Watching him fly off into the sunset was a blessing and a curse. Her head was happy he was gone – her heart and her Wolf – not so much. Now, he’s back. Tall, dark, and handsome, he makes her Wolf roll over and beg to be taken. What’s a girl to do when her happily ever after is staring her in the face, but she’s not sure if she deserves it? “Twinkle, twinkle, sassy little Star. This Dragon knows exactly who you are. You are my diamond in the night sky. And baby, I’m coming for you…” After all, Fate Will Not Be Denied… or will She?
