My alpha told me to get rid of her. Make nice and find out if she’ll sell her property. Keep her from bringing more humans close to our land. But before I even met her, I caught her scent. The moon’s full, and I had to follow it. I couldn’t stop myself. I ran straight into human territory, onto her property. Found her bathing naked in the moonlight and showed her my wolf. Now all bets are off. My alpha may want her gone, but I need her to stay. In fact, I’ll do anything to make sure she never, ever leaves.

Fate has it in for me. She’s sent a human vet to stay in the bunkhouse. With me. I might not have the wolf scent, but I have the hearing. I learn she’s a virgin. I offer her two weeks. Two weeks where I’ll show her a large animal. One she can’t resist. Or at least one who can’t resist her. I’ll prove she doesn’t know everything about four-legged beasts. Especially not the fiercest ones who stalk their prey in the night. Especially not one determined to prey on her. Me.

We hooked up one night at Cody’s Saloon. The beautiful nurse wanted a ride, and I’d given it to her. Made her scream and sent her home happy. She didn’t tell me there’d been consequences. She’d kept her secret close. For months. But what she didn’t know could change everything. That baby she carried wasn’t human. And this wolf would never walk away from his pup. She may not have wanted me in her life, but that was too bad. I was moving in - watching over her and providing for my family. She was under my protection now.

The stronger the alpha, the greater the danger. Moon madness could claim me any time now. I’ve looked all over the continent, gone to mating games, but I still haven’t found the she-wolf meant to be mine. I’ve already become too feral in bed. I’m not safe - not for random females. Especially not the one who just moved into the ranch next door. She’s way too tempting. And I’m way too dangerous. I have to stay away. I don’t dare get near her. Because I would die before I ever let anything harm the little human. Including me.

I protected my country. Protected my platoon. Now all I wanted to protect was her. Too bad that wasn’t an option. I couldn’t fall for the beautiful slip of a female. The baby sister of my brother’s new mate. She was way too young. Way too human. Still in college. And too bright a force of nature. She had her whole life ahead of her. And I had the Green Berets begging me to reenlist. My wolf...he wanted her. But if I let her go without claiming her, I might not survive the moon madness.

Grace grew up in a family of outlaws, wild and reckless. The sheriff is intent on justice, but one look at the gun-toting, pants-wearing woman and he knows she’ll belong to him. To Charlie too, for the men at Bridgewater claim—and tame—their bride together. But can they? Do they really know the woman they’ve wed? While they might strip her bare, she’s still hiding plenty of secrets...secrets that might kill them all.

Young, beautiful, and idealistic, Tennessee Bennett longs to marry, but only for love. Unfortunately, her father intends to marry her off to the first wealthy man who will have her in order to pay his gambling debts. When his plan takes a murderous turn, Tennessee finds herself alone and penniless on the streets. Best friends James Carr and Jonah Wells have watched and wanted Tennessee for two years. Gentlemen to their bones, they have done the right thing, waiting for her to grow into a woman old enough to wake to their touch.

Règle numéro 5 de la Meute : Femelle heureuse, destin heureux. Le destin m'en veut. Il m'a envoyé un vétérinaire humain pour rester dans le dortoir. Avec moi. Je n'ai peut-être pas l'odorat du loup, mais j'en ai l'ouïe. J'apprends qu'elle est vierge. Je lui offre deux semaines. Deux semaines où je lui montrerai un grand animal. Un auquel elle ne pourra pas résister. Ou au moins un qui ne pourra pas lui résister. Je lui prouverai qu'elle ne sait pas tout sur les bêtes à quatre pattes. Surtout pas les plus féroces qui traquent leurs proies la nuit.

Réunis le temps d’une soirée au Cody’s bar. La jolie infirmière en avait envie, alors je le lui ai donné. Je l’ai fait crier avant de la raccompagner chez elle, repue. Elle a tu les conséquences. Elle a bien gardé son secret. Pendant des mois. Mais ce qu’elle ignore peut tout changer. Le bébé qu’elle porte n’est pas humain. Et un loup ne devrait jamais s’éloigner de son petit. Elle ne veut peut-être pas de moi dans sa vie, mais il est trop tard. Je me montrerai—pour la protéger et m’occuper de ma famille.

Mon Alpha m’a dit de me débarrasser d’elle. D’être aimable et de découvrir si elle comptait vendre sa propriété. De l’empêcher d’amener d’autres humains à proximité de nos terres. Mais avant même de la rencontrer, j’ai humé son odeur. La pleine lune était là, et j’étais obligé de m’y conformer. Je n’ai pas pu m’en empêcher. Je me suis précipité en plein territoire humain, sur sa propriété. Je l’ai découverte en train de se baigner nue au clair de lune, et je lui ai montré mon loup.À présent, tout est possible.

Règle N° 3 de la Meute : l’alpha doit s’accoupler. Plus l’alpha est fort, plus le danger est grand. La folie lunaire risque de m’emporter d’un moment à l’autre, désormais. J’ai cherché aux quatre coins du continent, me suis rendu à des jeux d’accouplement, mais je n’ai toujours pas trouvé la louve qui m’est destinée. Je suis déjà devenu trop sauvage au lit. Je ne suis pas inoffensif pas pour les femmes normales. Et encore moins pour celle qui vient d’emménager dans le ranch voisin. Elle est beaucoup trop tentante. Et je suis beaucoup trop dangereux. Il faut que je garde mes distances.

Règle N°2 de la meute : Protéger son partenaire à tout prixJ’ai protégé mon pays, protégé ma section. Et maintenant c’est elle que je veux protéger. Dommage que ce ne soit pas une option. Impossible de succomber à ce magnifique petit bout de femme. La petite sœur de la nouvelle compagne de mon frèreBien trop jeune. Bien trop humaine. Encore à la fac. Et quelle intelligence exceptionnelle. Elle a toute sa vie devant elle. Et les Bérets Verts qui veulent que je rempile. Mon loup… la désire. Et si je la laisse partir sans la conquérir,Je ne survivrai pas à la prochaine pleine lune…

Règle N°1 de la meute : Ne jamais rien révéler à un humain. J'ai enfreint cette règle le jour où j'ai rencontré la belle doctoresse. Je suis peut-être un champion de rodéo, mais un seul regard sur elle et j'ai perdu ma concentration. Le taureau m'a éjecté et m'a encorné, et maintenant la belle femelle est après moi. Quand j'ai guéri en quelques heures, elle a su que quelque chose clochait. Mon alpha m'a dit de la surveiller. Aucun problème. Je la surveillerai comme il se doit. De très près. Je vais m'accrocher à elle comme de la Superglue. Et ces humains qui veulent sortir avec elle ?

I live alone on the mountain for a reason. I’m dangerous—too strong, too aggressive, too close to feral. But then she shows up—with sweet curves, sultry voice, and a scent that drives my wolf insane. A gorgeous human, pouring drinks at Cody’s Saloon and hiding a shattered past behind her smile. I know the second I scent her—she’s mine. My mate. The one I was made for.

Pack rule number one: Never reveal to a human. I broke that rule the day I met the beautiful doctor. I might be a rodeo champ, but one look at her, and I lost my concentration. The bull tossed and gored me, and now the sweet female is on to me. When I healed within hours, she knew something wasn’t right. My alpha told me to watch her. Not a problem. I’ll watch her all right. Real close. I’ll stick to her like superglue. And those human men who want to date her? They’d better step back. Because the doctor is all mine. Whether she knows it yet or not.

I’m a rodeo champ. I live for the eight second rush astride an angry bull. But now I live for her. The One I save from a Montana blizzard. Stranded together, I make her mine. When danger arrives on my front porch, I protect what’s mine. But how do I protect the woman I love if I don’t know who she really is?

I’m an overworked fixer who needs a break. When I’m asked to cat-sit in Coal Springs, I’m all for a few boring days. Except there is no break, and there’s no chance to be bored. Not when I walk into a convenience store and meet a kick-ass woman with an obsession for coffee who single-handedly takes down an armed robber. I now have my own obsession. Her. When I discover she’s an FBI agent, I can only laugh. Because I break the law. She enforces it.

To women around the world, I’m Dr. Dark and Dangerous, sexiest bachelor alive. I meet the only one who has no idea who I am. To single mom Aspen, I’m just the guy who rocked her world one night. Nothing more. With the tabloids out to destroy my career and a movie deal on the line, I need help. I need a girlfriend to improve my image. Since the only one I want won’t do a real relationship, she agrees to be my fake girlfriend.

I’m twenty-four, and ahem…inexperienced. When a blind date doesn’t change that status, Theo volunteers for the task. Who’s Theo? Just the guy I’ve been crushing on for six months. Yeah, him. Tall, broad, and handsome and gah, now he’s even got a beard! He’s diligent. Very focused. Skilled. And impossible not to fall for. Except he’s only up for a fun time. A wild romp or two. No way would he have any romantic interest in someone like me. Why would he? He’s an intense, brooding doctor—and, oh yeah, a billionaire—and I’m a goofy first grade teacher barely making ends meet.

Don’t date your son’s ex. Especially when she’s supposedly the town’s good girl. But the sweet, shy librarian isn’t a good girl at all. She can’t be, because she wants me—the local lumberjack, and my…wood. I’m her ex’s dad, but she says she doesn’t want guys her age. Or a relationship. She wants a fling. And since I’m leaving Hunter Valley in a few days, I’ll definitely indulge her. We’ll have fun while it lasts and then she’ll go back to fooling the town and I’ll just go. Right?
