Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

The Alpha and His Outlander Luna

It was safe to say that his parents didn’t like me. That was to be expected, seeing that the alpha’s son brought me into the pack, without you know, asking the alpha!


The ride home was quiet and tense. I didn’t know what to say to Victor to help him to feel better. His hand was resting on the center console and I decided to brave it and reach for his hand. I felt him tighten and I was about to remove my hand from his but then he threaded our fingers together. The gesture was innocent but it sent my heart soaring. 


His shoulders relaxed and he allowed himself to become at ease.  I was proud of myself. I, Tara Landon, was able to comfort the future alpha. It was a dangerous feeling because I had told myself I wasn’t allowed to feel anything toward Victor. He was not mine to have. My brain understood this concept but my heart seemed to be hard of hearing.
