A Simple Mistake

by Alice Winters

Liam
Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free.

It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least?

The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again. Yet when Gabriel gets taken by a serial killer, there’s absolutely no way I can sit back while this parasite takes what is mine.

But what the killer doesn’t know is that I’m coming for him and that I would destroy the world to keep Gabriel safe. After all, who could hunt a serial killer better than another one?
 
Gabriel
Drawing Liam back into homicide is the last thing I thought I’d ever do, but the killer is picking off my fellow detectives, and the only way we’re going to make it out of this is with Liam heading the case (even if there’s one—or five—coworkers he’d rather not save).

Liam is smart, sarcastic, and the most dangerous man I’ve ever met, and yet I can’t look away—even if he calls my adorable cat Lucy Fur. No one has any idea just how far Liam will go for me, especially not the killer, who won’t realize until too late that the prey he hunts is actually a predator.

End It All

Brea Alepou & Skylar Snow

What do you do when your only way out is to join a family you never knew existed?

I’m not well behaved, that’s a given. But meeting the Vitale’s puts my life into perspective. They’re everything I’ve longed for; rich, adventurous, fearless, and close. Really close.
This is supposed to be my family too.

So why do I feel like an outsider?

I have no choice except to fit in because I can’t go back home. Not when I’m on the run…

Amidst the chaos of a cooling war, a family struggle, and the law nipping at my heels, I meet Quincy. Bold, crazy, and hot as a five alarm fire.This man is the grand red flag of all red flags, but then again so am I.

And I’ve always loved to play with fire.

Bloom: Part Two

by Gianni Holmes

He is truth. My entire existence is a lie.

Together we're an impossible equation with no solution.

I thought I could outrun my past, bury it in the life I built as a surgeon.

But the moment I fell for Bloom, everything unraveled.
Now my face is everywhere, and they’re coming for me.

I should run, but Bloom is my weakness, my obsession.

Staying puts him in danger. Leaving will destroy him.

How do I choose between the man I love and the life I can’t escape?

Is it selfish of me to ask him to leave his family behind and go on the run with me?

Damaged

by Reese Knightly

Could they even be together when they were forever one step away from death?

-Rogue
Wrath wants him and Rogue knows it.
But he’s not good enough for Wrath—a man who is liked by everyone.
And Wrath has roots. And him? He’s a drifter now that he’s free.
Plus, he struggles with his past and the things he’s done.
So as far as Rogue is concerned, he’s going to hell for them.
And there is no way he is pulling Wrath down with him.

-Wrath
He couldn’t pinpoint what it was about Rogue that kept him coming back.
But one thing was for certain, he was not going to quit Rogue.
The big, quiet, and intense assassin with the storm-colored eyes holds his heart.
Only Rogue thinks he’s too damaged to give them a try.
Wrath aims to change that—if Rogue will let him.
But honestly?
He is getting tired of being the only one who wants to give them a try.

The Omega's Secret Baby

by Ann-Katrin Birde 

An omega, an alpha, and a seven year-old secret...

Eight years ago, Eli gave up his future as a veterinarian because of a blue line on a pregnancy test. Now a single dad to the best little boy in the world, he’s working at an animal shelter and trying his hardest to ignore the small town gossip that follows him and his son around. Contrary to popular belief, he does know who the other father is—the irresistible alpha from his youth. But Matt’s upper class family doesn’t think an omega is good enough for their son, and Eli’s not going to expose his kid to that kind of prejudice. Besides, Matt ran off and married someone else, so he couldn’t have felt that much for Eli, could he?

After years of trying to make his arranged marriage work, Matt’s getting divorced--much to his high society family’s dismay and fury. And his relief—something had to change. It does, when he runs into the omega he’d fallen for as a college senior and never quite managed to forget. The moment he lays eyes on Eli, he wants him back, and to hell with what his parents think.

And there’s that little boy, Eli’s son, who tugs on Matt’s heart as hard as Eli does. Could it be…?
