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

My father called me to an early morning meeting in his office with Hendrix and Axel. It was always a bit of a shock how much Axel looked like his father. I saw Axel almost every day and I never noticed it. As soon as they were together, Hendrix was like a mirror into Axel’s future. 


“I do find the timing of this meeting a little inconvenient,” I said, sitting down beside my father, directly across from Hendrix and Axel. 


It was important for the four of us to meet together. Someday, I’d be where my father was and Axel would be where Hendrix was. 


“Missing out on your beauty sleep?” Axel teased me. 


“We just had the auspice ceremony last night, what do you think?” I shot back, arching an eyebrow. 


“Enough of that!” my dad hissed. “Victor, I understand the timing isn’t ideal. However, we do have an important matter to discuss. One that trumps young hormones.”
