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 awoke to Tara standing above me. Her face was mere inches from mine, and her finger pressed against plush lips. Her eyes glistened, moving from one eye to another, as she communicated to me to keep quiet, to follow her, to question nothing. 


I didn’t know what it was that she was trying to wholly tell me, only that she wanted me to follow her, and so I did. She led me through the halls into another room-the door slightly harder to open and get through than the previous ones—and into the bedroom of a man I hadn’t met yet. 


He laid there on his bed, his eyes closed, the soft sound of sleeping coming from him as his arms were crossed over his chest and he lay on his side. I tried to open my mouth and get Tara’s attention, to ask her what exactly it was that we were doing here, but then she pounced before I could. 


Her entire body jumped high, cat-like, and landed on the bed as she straddled the man’s legs with a dagger pressed to his throat.
