Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Lucien, a scarred and broken warrior, refuses to believe the gentle healer Olivia is truly his mate. He thinks she deserves better, even as his wolf fights desperately for her. Olivia has loved him from afar, and now she must use every bit of her healing power— even the terrifying kind— to save his life. But once he wakes, their real struggle begins.

I lifted the clasp, and it moved with ease, as if it were freshly oiled. The lid of the chest was heavier, and it took some effort to lift. Once it locked open, I looked down, and it took a moment for my brain to process what I was seeing. There it was, the final…

Kane laughed again, throwing his head back this time and squeezing my shoulder. We started to walk again before he answered. “I’m not saying it’s all roses. But, yeah. I put her first. I love her more than my own life. If I wrong her? I do whatever it takes to fix it and make…
I didn’t have a scrap of eloquence inside me, only exhaustion. “It was a long night,” Lucien said quietly, a stony press to his lips. “I’m sure you heard many a tale, most of them sad.” She nodded slowly, seeming to absorb his words one by one. “Indeed, many of the reports were sad, as…
