John’s life is a living nightmare. Any chance of digging himself out of the abyss disintegrated long ago. Fired, discredited, buried under crippling debt, and isolated in a west-Texas ghost-town, he’s both a pariah and a wanted man. Under an investigation for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s quickly running out of allies, and even more rapidly, losing his grip on reality. Late at night, long after the lights have gone out, it’s there. He doesn’t know where it is and what it wants with him. It lurks in the shadows, biding its time before it strikes. It beckons him.

No one should have to face the devil more than once in their lifetime - yet I've had to stare deep into his soulless eyes twice. If you ask me, I was left broken beyond repair.

The veil will be removed and Rage will see every emotional and physical scar that marks my mind, spirit and soul. This man has been my rock since the moment I met him, and I just wonder if our love is strong enough to weather the storm that's headed our way.

Why was it so damn hard to ask that cute barista out on a date? I was supposed to be an Alpha. The most feared man in Maple Hart. I was used to being treated like an outcast, a criminal.

Sassy Omega. Cute as a button.

It infuriates me to be punished for the slightest defiance, and forced to submit to these alien brutes.

When I accepted a lucrative position at Wolfe Wineries, I had no idea my boss was an insufferable man. But Montgomery Wolfe made the terms very clear. I'd follow his rules or face stern consequences.

I thought the Cenzan invaders could never find me here, but I was wrong. Three of the alien brutes came to take me, and before I ever set foot aboard their ship I had already been stripped bare, spanked thoroughly, and claimed more shamefully then I would have ever thought possible. They have decided that a public example must be made of me, and I will be punished and used in the most humiliating ways imaginable as a warning to anyone who might dare to defy them.

Plenty of men who thought they could put me in my place have learned the hard way that I was more than they could handle, and when Jake showed up I was sure he would be no different. I was wrong.

I was sent to this world to help build a new Earth, but I was shocked by what I found here. The men of this planet are not just primitive savages. They are predators, and I am now their prey....
