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

“You know if we’re going to be traveling together, we may as well try to be civil with one another.”


“I am being civil,” I shot back. “I’m not grabbing the steering wheel and landing us both in a ditch.”


The words were hot and sharp, and I listened as Victor tightened his grip on the wheel and took a slow, steady breath in through his nose. 


There was a slight moment of pride in me that I got him to both keep quiet and hesitant enough to hold the wheel tighter. Of course, I wouldn’t actually kill us and land us both in a ditch, but he didn’t need to know that.


Victor and I had been traveling for what felt like hours already. We had left that next morning after Jack had shown up. At first light, the car was packed with everything we would need and we had said our goodbyes.
