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

“Jack?” Kate laughed as she stared at me, her eyes wide when I affirmed. 


“We went to school together. He left early though to take care of some things for the pack. His father never wanted him to pursue anything else besides pack business.” 


Kate smiled at my question, and rolled her eyes as she responded. 


“He wanted to be a painter. For as long as I’d known him, he was always dabbling with it: oils, waters, you name it. I’d often find him on the cliff near our cottage just… painting out the sunsets. I asked him once how many times one person could paint the sunset.”


She scoffed out a laugh. “As long as you love it.” 


My head tilted as I regarded her. “You two seem like you were close, no?”


“No, not really. Ah, maybe. One of those… what do you kids call it… wrong place, wrong time?”


I felt my brows pull together for a moment. “Right person, wrong time?”
