I've known him since we were kids. We were best friends, sharing everything - until I made a mistake and got a girl pregnant. Pretty soon, I was a single dad while I was still a kid myself. Our friendship suffered. He joined the military. And I thought I'd never get another chance to let him know what he really means to me. Now he's back, reeling from the loss of his newborn baby's father, and he needs a place to stay while he settles back into parenthood and small town living. I won't pressure him. I won't rush him. And if he's still not interested, I'll let him go.

Thorne isn't ready to fall in love. His wife has been gone for only two years; he's still a grieving widower. Most days, he's not sure if he'll ever be ready to open his heart again. A simple, quiet existence with his beloved son, Mason, will have to be enough for him - and when it's not, he's got his friends in the Howling Hills pack to take up the slack.

OWEN - I learned early on to keep my expectations low. Somehow, I keep ending up disappointed anyway. Like now: I finally have an alpha, and I bet I could take him in a fight. I’m no expert, but I don’t think that’s how that’s supposed to work. Everything seemed good at first. Or as much as it was ever going to be, auctioned off to a strange alpha so I could pop out their litter. But hey, in this time of mysteriously low birth rates, we fertile omegas are a prized commodity - emphasis on the commodity. (No, I’m not bitter. Why do you ask?)

All shifters are evil...so how can I crave one? Shifter blood may run through my veins, but I’ve done everything I can to keep my human half in control. As a member of the human resistance I need to fight the evil inside me...and to stamp it out of the world. But when Mikel crosses my path he makes my senses go haywire and has me questioning everything I’ve ever known.

I’m not looking for a mate, but then Rick walks into my life.... Work hard. Play hard. Never fall in love. I’ve never needed anything else, no matter what the other members of my pack think. But when a sweet omega brings his daughter to my self-defense studio, suddenly I’m thinking of turning over a new leaf. Rick’s scent calls to me like nothing before and I need him in my bed. My wolf is determined to have him, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make him mine. The headstrong detective can take care of himself, but now it’s my job to keep him safe.

There are two things in this world I know to be true: I have terrible taste in men, and all alphas are jerks. You’d think my own pack kicking me out would’ve been a clue to stay away from alphas. Omegas are rare. We’re smaller, weaker, can’t usually get pregnant...all valid reasons for disowning your own family, right? But it only took one night for stupidly handsome Troy Miyu to make me forget all the reasons I should’ve known better. One night to start falling for him, to realize it wasn’t just amazing chemistry we shared, but a true mate bond.

Riley Lewis is an omega for hire, and he offers a specialist service - he can take an alpha knot without any of the emotional baggage. And now he’s got a client: a rich alpha who needs him to be a fake boyfriend. But Chase is adamant it’s just business. A fake relationship for show, to keep his father off his back. No sex. Definitely no knotting. But what’s Chase supposed to do when the immediate connection he feels for the omega turns into a soul-deep craving to be close, too overwhelming to ignore?

Tanner is a high-ranking member of the Desert Town wolf pack, one of the most stable packs on the planet. It's hard to be happy when you're at odds with yourself. A new, handsome wolf is making it even more difficult to make decisions. Can Tanner get all four paws on solid ground? Angelo is a recent import from the Pacific Northwest. After past failings, he's deeply uncertain about opening up to an unknown wolf. Yet he can't help but feel strongly attracted to him. Opening up is rough after losing so much.

Sheriff Brady Schell has never allowed himself to fall in love. He's never so much as been with another man - it's too risky. Ever since he was abandoned as a baby for being an omega, he's understood that to allow yourself to get close to someone means to put your emotional safety on the line. Now 36 and unbonded, his omega instincts are pulling at him, urging him to find a lover - and if he's truthful with himself, he's had his eye on the much younger Shane Raynor ever since he wrote Shane his first speeding ticket.

I knew being an omega would get me fired one day, I just never thought hiding it would be the excuse they needed. Irony, you suck. For years I was their best employee, right up until their new alpha hire smelled me in heat. I could’ve kept my job by playing his game, but I’ve spent my whole life running from my biology. I have principles. I also have bills. Which is the only reason my desperate search for a roommate ended with a grizzled alpha veteran, Stefan. Brooding and damaged from years of battle. My biology and I are not on speaking terms now.

Ben was wounded in the heat of battle, now considered by society to be just another injured veteran werewolf. He’s loved, lost, and decided it isn’t worth the trouble. In a world where shifters die just because of the blood in their veins, what’s the point in committing? You just risk losing yourself. James is a kept omega, hidden away by his family until his breeding date. Soft and supple, James knows his intended mate-to-be will probably break him all to pieces. But isn’t that what omegas are for?

I’ll claim my mate, even if he’s on another man’s arm.... When fate lands a punch, she hits hard. I wasn’t looking for my fated mate, but when I saw Danny on a date with one of my pack mates, I knew he had to be mine. The omega is perfect for me, from his enchanting looks to our shared passion for starting a nutrition business. But something is holding him back, and it’s not just the awkward way we met. Danny is brilliant and caring, but I can tell he’s been hurt before. Taking it slow with him isn’t easy, but it’s all worth it to see him smile.

Can an alpha doctor really want a sheltered omega like me? I knew I was sheltered, but I never realized how much until my father died and I was plunged into life on my own. When the new alpha of my pack wants more than I’m willing to give, I know I can’t stay. Though I barely know him, Troy’s the one I trust to take me to safety. And though the timing is horrible, I can sense that he’s my fated mate. But my old alpha isn’t ready to give me up, even if I’ve chosen another.

I’ve been hurt before, but Shayne makes me want to try again. I haven’t been lucky in romance, and for the past 12 years, my daughter Charlotte has been my number one priority. But my senses go crazy every time I’m around Shayne, and my inner wolf is convinced he’s my fated mate. He fits right into my family, but he doesn’t know a thing about shifters, and I don’t want to scare him away before I find a way to convince him to stay in town.

I never thought I’d meet my mate at the dentist’s office, but when I take my daughter to get her tooth pulled, he’s right there waiting. I recognize Jamie’s scent as soon as I walk in, and it’s making my inner wolf crazy. And when I see how great he is with my daughter, my heart melts. I need him to be mine. We’re scorched by the heat of our chemistry, and I can’t get enough of the man. But when Jamie starts to pull away, I don’t know if I can keep the omega as my own.

Hogan went through hell in the military, but now that he’s in Timberwood Cove for good, it’s time to see if something could grow between us. My wolf knows he’s my fated mate, and I’m ready to make my move. But when I suddenly end up with custody of my brother’s baby, I worry that I’ve missed my chance again.

I thought I found my forever, and then he left me for his fated mate. I don’t need another broken heart, but when Troy crosses my path, I might not have a choice. He’s carrying another man’s baby, but his scent tells me he’s my destiny. The lithe omega is sweet and happy, but I can see the cracks inside of him that need to be healed. He wants to be loved, and if I open myself up, we could have something special, something meant to be.

It was your classic case of opposites. I was the football star; he was the class clown that put itching powder in my jockstrap. I'm laid-back; he's in-your-face loud. I've told everyone for years that I hate him...but hate has an opposite, too. His name is Tripp. He's a social media star. And he's so damn vibrant he makes my teeth ache. And I need to ask him for a favor.

Trevor's self-image issues from childhood bullies have followed him into adulthood. As a result, he has never experienced a relationship or love. But he sure wants to, especially with the wolf alpha next door. One tiny problem: Jason can’t stand dogs, and Trevor owns a doggie day care. Besides that, Trevor has trouble believing that anyone as hot as Jason could ever want someone as plain as him.

When Liam and I were paired together on the Mates.com app, I really thought it might go somewhere. The chemistry between us was sizzling, but he never called me back. Now, my business partner thinks that I should ask Liam for some business advice, but I’m not sure. I’ve come this far on my own...and this thing between us? Pure distraction.
