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 reached down to touch the thrumming part of the moon, and the beams seemed to reach out to me, too. Its light wrapped around my hand like tendrils, and I called out to it from some part inside of me. 


Was this something inherently wolfish about me? What was happening, and what had made the moon fall like this?


And suddenly, as though my own mind was coming back to me, I remembered something vicious and daunting. There was a dream I had once, about the cracks in the moon, and Victor floating toward me. 


He had let out such an earth shattering scream, and there was something… something else. There was something else that I was missing and I couldn’t remember it at all. 


Then, there was a harsh tug on my arm and I lurched forward. That’s when the pain came.
