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

“I said no, mom,” I relayed flatly to my mother over the phone. 


“Victor, your place is at home, not in some cabin that is locked away from civilization. I miss having you here.”


“Then you can come and visit me here,” I expressed coolly.


“I want you at home, where you belong, with your family. I don’t understand why you won’t just come back.”


I sighed, running a tired hand over my face. This had been the fourth time this week she had called me asking me to come home—it was only Tuesday. 


“You know why mom,” I looked out the window, “I’m happy here and dad is happy I’m here. We don’t get on each other’s nerves and we can live peaceful lives.”


“No, he’s not. He wants you at home just as much as I do,” my mother said sternly.
