"That dress is a problem." He closes the distance in two steps. "Take it off or I’ll do it for you. We both know I’m not bluffing." He was my dad’s best friend. Until he vanished. Now he’s my boss… and the one man I’m not supposed to want. When I walk into Ryder Vane’s office, resume in hand, I don’t expect him to recognize me. He doesn’t. Not the little girl he once read bedtime stories to. Not the daughter of the man he betrayed. Not the secret I’ve been keeping since the night everything fell apart. Ryder is Hollywood royalty—brilliant, commanding, impossible to ignore. And he just hired me as his assistant. I wanted distance. Closure. Maybe a little revenge. What I didn’t plan on was the sparks. The stolen glances. The late nights that blur the lines between right and ruin. He’s twice my age. My dad’s ex–best friend. And completely off-limits. But secrets don’t stay buried in this town. And when the past comes crashing back with a stalker’s note and a kiss I can’t take back… The biggest scandal won’t be what’s in the tabloids. It’ll be what’s in my heart.

""Alpha, you know I can take care of myself. I'm not a piece of fragile glass that can be broken on a whim."" ""I know you can, Kaleigh. You can take down just about everyone in this pack if you want, but I'm here, so leave it to me, I'll take care of everything for you."" ""That girl coming towards the truck is Amber. Wait here while I deal with her."" Dominick said. ""Hell no. I'm your mate. Let's make sure she understands that you are mine."" Kaleigh wrapped her arms around Dominick's neck and gave him a long kiss right in front of everyone watching. They could hear Amber growl under her breath. ------------------------------ Kaleigh is a hybrid werewolf witch that is the last of her coven. Dominick is her fated mate and the next Alpha of the White Raven Pack. Kaleigh must decide if she will accept him or reject him to keep him from those that want her dead. Will their love be enough to ward off the evil that is out to destroy them?

In a realm hidden from human eyes, the werewolf king has outlawed inter-species mate bonds and driven out or killed most of those who disagree with him. As a prophecy is made and a curse is placed, what will happen to those unknowingly thrust into the heart of the conflict? Will fate help them find a way to restore balance and peace? Or will they lose all they hold dear to them? Nothing is as it seems in this book. It is NOT just your standard, run of the mill, fated mates werewolf story. There are dragons, witches, and fairies, and others to be introduced in this book and later on in the series!

Reid Thomas is known for having a revolving door of females in his bed and for not wanting a mate. He's even created rules for himself to follow so he doesn't fall into the trap of a committed, long-term relationship. But when he loses a bet to his best friend, he's sent on a blind date. There, he meets Taryn Campbell, a feisty warrior with a personality to match, who has him questioning his strict rules. After all, aren't rules made to be broken? *This is Book 2 of the Crescent Lake series. It can be read as a standalone, however, for context and an introduction to the world and characters, it is recommended that you read "The Alpha's Pen Pal" before reading "The Beta's Blind Date."*

He told me to clean his room. This was the day my life changed and I began living in hell. I’ve always been treated as a slave and bullied by other pack members but I had just turned eighteen that day and my mate was revealed to be the pack’s alpha, Jacob. Instead of outright accepting or rejecting me, he hurts me in the worst way by cheating on the mate bond while I am in the same room. He claims this she-wolf is his chosen. Then why is he not releasing me by rejecting me? Instead, he keeps me a prisoner in his room most of the time and has s*x with his chosen and even other she-wolves. He even stole my innocence. He tells me he keeps me for his wolf as it keeps him calm, but I think he is just a psychopath who gains a thrill in torturing me. His chosen is just like him and she also enjoys it when he causes me pain. ********************************************** My best friend (who is an omega like me) heard from the beta of a neighboring pack that his Alpha was looking for me. I discovered we knew each other as children when his family came to this pack to visit the current alpha’s parents for a meeting. My friend contacted the alpha by phone, and he decided to make plans to come for a visit, when he did, I found out he was my second chance mate. How is this possible when I am still mated? ************************************************ ************************************************ I am Alpha Chase Carter and I have been searching for my fated mate for years. When I thought of what my mate would look like I would close my eyes and see the red-haired girl from my past. I’ve never forgotten her because I was always enthralled by her beauty, even at her young age. With her red hair and green eyes, she reminded me of a goddess in the form of a seven-year-old. I was twelve at the time. One night I had a dream or possibly even a vision of a red-haired beauty in pain. When I saw the source of her pain being a man in bed with a blond, I felt enraged. I woke up sweating and with a lingering nagging feeling that I needed to find her. Is it true? Is she, my mate? I remember the man calling her name, Amethyst. I must find her. I must save her.
