Updated at Sep 13, 2026, 02:32
He found out we were having a baby. Then he rejected me as his mate. Now I’m back in Forest Heights to care for my aunt with the son I’ve been raising on my own for nine years because Grizz didn’t believe the baby could be his. But Rainer might be more like his daddy than I want to admit, and I’ll do anything for my son, including letting the man who rejected us both back into our lives to help him learn control over his shifter abilities.

The Alpha’s Forbidden Claim
Updated at Sep 15, 2026, 08:07
The only thing they have in common is they don’t believe in fated mates… Not many Private Investigators would investigate the disappearance of a former drug addict, but Iris was brought up in the system. She knows what it’s like to be alone. No pack. No home. These days, her wolf is virtually non-existent. When her investigation lands her in Austin, Texas, she learns that more than one wolf shifter is missing. The MoonMate ceremony is the perfect opportunity for her to gather intel—until she catches the eye of the alpha-in-waiting. Eli's pull is undeniable, but Iris isn’t fooled by his dreamy green eyes and British accent. She doesn’t date wolves and won’t be told what to do by the headstrong alpha. Then another wolf goes missing, this time the daughter of a high-ranking pack member of the powerful Silver Streak pack. When Iris' investigation takes a deadly turn she knows she won't be able to solve it alone. Given no other choice, she has to partner up with Eli if she wants to find the missing wolves. Whoever is behind the disappearances set their sights on Iris and Eli. The clock is ticking and they are running out of time. Unless they kill each other first…

Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha
Updated at Sep 13, 2026, 03:02
I walk into the bar with my pack, and I scent her straight away. She’s lying behind the counter with blood trailing from an injury to her head. My desire to protect her stuns me almost as much as her beauty. But it’s the smell of her blood that stuns me the most—it’s something not quite human. When she wakes up, her fear tells me all I need to know. She definitely thinks she’s mortal. I choose to disagree. I make my pack watch over her while she heals, and she’s surprised I want to protect her. It's obvious she hasn't had good experiences with shifters in the past, but I intend to show her I'm different. I also need time to find out the truth about her, including why she's being hunted by our kind for reasons I’m yet to understand. All I know is that whoever this woman really is, she’s special. And she's mine...

The Alpha’s Darkest Secret
Updated at Sep 13, 2026, 02:49
Secret Shifters Next Door is the bundled collection of Roxie Ray’s four possessive alpha shifters who find their fated mates and do whatever it takes to keep her safe. While each book follows a different couple, the stories are interconnected. The author suggests you read them to fully enjoy the underlying storyline. Next Door Dragon Daddy Flirting with my hot neighbor, Tate, is like playing with fire. He’s impossible to ignore, always half-naked and tempting, but I’m not the same woman I was before becoming a single mom. Sure, Tate enjoys pushing my buttons, and I’m ready to push back. My friends warn me he's dangerous, but I’m not afraid of a little heat. There’s something mysterious about him that I can’t quite figure out, and I’m determined to uncover the truth—no matter the risk of getting burned. Bear Ex Next Door My new neighbor is irresistible, but he’s already broken my heart once. After a stalker and scandal forced me to leave my modeling career behind, I returned to Lily Valley—only to find my old high school sweetheart, Steff, next door. He shattered my heart years ago, and now he’s in charge of my security. With stalkers closing in, Steff and my brothers are determined to protect me. He’s also warning me off Ryland, the new guy in town. But as secrets surface, I’m starting to wonder if I ever really knew Steff—and if I’m doomed to fall for him again.

I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. But he’s hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

A grumpy-sweet alpha. A broke but brilliant baker. One emergency cake order that might just be fate. When Castiel’s pack reunion turns into a frosting-fueled disaster, the last thing he expects is to find salvation in the form of a tiny bakery—and the fiery, flour-dusted woman who runs it. Felicia’s barely keeping her business alive, her heart is still healing, and she has zero time for distractions—especially not the ridiculously hot country guy begging for last-minute cakes. But with a hundred people waiting for dessert and a cash offer she can’t refuse, she says yes. One rushed bake. Three ruined ovens. A van full of dreams.

It’s my destiny as wolf prince to find my mate. But what happens when she’s someone that nobody expected… I’ve lost count of the number of Lunar Mate ceremonies I’ve attended where every eye is on me. As the son of shifter royalty, I’m supposed to find a fated mate who will continue my family’s powerful legacy. But at forty years of age, everyone is starting to think that person doesn’t exist, including me. Then I experience a pull so deep and so undeniable, that when I look up and meet the eyes of a waitress, our gazes lock. Recognition sparks between us. In an instant, I’m sure. This woman is mine. I can tell my parents sense the connection, too. But judging by their expressions, they know something I don’t. Like me, they’re aware she’s special. But the fear in their eyes tells me she’s the last person on earth they want to be my mate…

Never make a deal with a billionaire, particularly one who’s a vampire...

This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me.

When I discover I’m the hunted, and there are those who want my blood, Nic claims he can protect me. But can I trust one of his kind? When this began, I thought I might lose everything.

I cannot win. I’m surrounded by vicious female wolves desperate to gain the favor of the ruthless Wolf King.

I make it clear that I’m not like those other she wolves. I already have Griffin waiting for me, and he will raise an army to fight for me if I don’t come home. It doesn’t stop Elias playing a game of temptation. Our attraction scares me, and I know that he would eat me alive in the name of passion. Then he announces who his chosen one will be, and I’m afraid it’s me…

The Alpha’s Secret Mate
Updated at Sep 12, 2026, 12:17
Their families have been at war for fifteen years. The council just made them husband and wife. Esmerelda Lovell didn't want a wedding. She definitely didn't want this wedding. But the alternative is exile, and she refuses to let Marcus Benyamina be the reason her family loses everything. She'll play the blushing bride. She'll smile through the vows. She'll survive one reception. What she won't do is fall for the man whose family attacked hers, whose composure infuriates her, and who — for reasons she refuses to examine — her wolf has absolutely no complaints about. One forced marriage. Two people who can't stand each other. Zero chance this ends the way either of them planned. Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers romance with bite, forced proximity that gets very complicated, heroines who would genuinely consider stabbing their husband at the altar, and heroes who are secretly losing their minds about it.

She can hate me all she wants, but our love is written in the stars… I rarely show my face in the human world, although for her I’ll make an exception. Most mistake me for a handsome, wealthy stranger, and refuse to believe I am the stuff of myth and legend. Not my Celeste. I see the awareness in her eyes, followed by the most delicious fear. Wolf Shifter. However, I’m not just any wolf shifter. I’m a Lunar Lord, and she doesn’t yet know that she’s in the presence of an immortal. Nor is she aware that I’ve waited hundreds of years for her. She still refuses to believe she’s mine. No matter. Her family and her fiancé mean nothing to me. Her contempt and hatred of me even less. Because, whether she likes it or not, Celeste is going to be my Lunar Bride…

Stolen by the Wolf King
Updated at Sep 12, 2026, 12:03
I curse the day I ever met Kai DeLune. Literally. In my defense, I put a curse on the gorgeous, domineering alpha for his own protection. Because if he somehow figures out we’re fated, neither of us will live to see the end of this shifter war. It’s just my luck I’ve been assigned as his troop’s healer. Watching him from a distance is torture for me, and if he finds out the truth, he’s headstrong enough to think he can save the world, including me. Except I’m past saving. I was already cursed long before I met Kai, and no one can ever find out. But I can still save Kai. Or at least I thought I could until our military base was attacked and Kai was seriously injured. His only hope of survival is for me to lift his curse so I can get close enough to heal him. Either way, the consequences could be deadly…

Let my girlfriends convince me to go out anyway. Get drunk. Too drunk. Wake up married—to the wrong guy. Now it’s my wedding day and I don’t remember marrying the sexy billionaire lying in the bed next to me or getting the tattoo on my arm. It doesn’t matter that he’s as hot as hell—I’m not about to go along with wedding vows I have no memory of. But my new husband seems convinced we’re meant to be together. He tells me my life is in danger and I’m safest with him. That the fate of the world depends on it. I say I need to leave. Now. Then he kisses me, and his lips are like fire. It’s one HELL of a kiss. Looks like I’m not going anywhere after all. Or more likely, I’m headed straight to hell . . .
