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

“Run!” Her voice was wide, vicious and loud. I didn’t know what she was telling me to run from, and tired of the lack of answers I was getting, I stood my ground. “Foolish child!” she chided. I didn’t move, still. “Run!” 


“From who?!” I demanded. “Who?!” 


She hissed at me, her hand coming out as she glared. But her hand didn’t touch me, as though she didn’t dare. And her eyes, which were starlight white, only stared deeper, longer, more penetrating. 


“Give me a name,” I said. “All you’ve said was that I had to run away form the enemy. I want a name. I want to know who it is that forces me to abandon all that I have made home of and run away again, over again, like a coward.”


There was a vengence in my voice now that I could not recognize as my own. “Tell me the name of the person who I am meant to be so viciously afraid of.”
