I thought I was just a broke college girl with a traumatic past and too many cigarettes. I didn’t know I was born to lead a pack. I didn’t know I was being hunted. On the night of my twenty-fourth birthday, everything changed. One second I was at a club, pretending life didn’t suck. The next, I was being dragged out by a stranger with ocean-blue eyes, thrown into a black SUV, and told I was a werewolf. Apparently, I’m not just any werewolf—I’m the heir to a powerful bloodline, the only survivor of a massacre, and the center of a prophecy that could bring down one of the darkest witches in history. Now I’m stuck in a mansion full of secrets, locked behind doors I didn’t ask for, and shadowed by an Alpha who looks at me like I’m everything he’s ever wanted—and everything he’s not allowed to have. They say I belong here. They say I have power. But I didn’t ask for a bond I don’t understand, a fate I don’t believe in, or a love that might just break me.

Emma Brooks doesn’t believe in Christmas magic. One week before Christmas, she catches her long-term boyfriend cheating—and the perfect family holiday she’d imagined shatters like a broken ornament. Driving blindly into the mountains as snow begins to fall, Emma hits ice and goes off the road. Trapped in the wreck with the world going dark, she’s certain this is how her story ends… until a massive black wolf steps out of the winter forest and pulls her back from the edge. When she wakes, it’s in a secluded estate glowing with Christmas lights, surrounded by strangers who bow to the man at her bedside—a man with storm-gray eyes, a dangerous calm, and the unsettling claim that he was the wolf who saved her. Lucian Blackwood calls himself an Alpha King. He tells Emma the world is far stranger than she’s ever imagined—and that she belongs to him as his fated Mate. Worst of all, he looks at her like she’s the answer to a question she never knew to ask. As snow deepens and carols drift through ancient halls, Emma is caught between the ordinary life she lost and a hidden world that feels like it’s been waiting for her. This Christmas, in a snowbound estate lit by fairy lights and hiding dangerous secrets, Emma must choose whether to cling to the life she knew—or follow the wolf into the dark and risk everything on a love written in the stars.

Sometimes, the only way to follow your dreams... is to break all the rules. Eighteen-year-old Jane has always been a fighter - on the ice and off. When her dreams of elite hockey training are blocked by an all-male summer program at Boston University, she takes a risk no one sees coming: assuming her twin brother’s identity to skate among the best. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. One night, a drunken misstep at a team camping trip lands Jane in the wrong tent - and face-to-face with Austin, the star forward with a sharp grin and a GPA problem. When he uncovers her secret, he doesn’t rat her out. Instead, he makes her a deal: tutor him to save his league eligibility, and he’ll keep her cover intact. Now, stuck between lies, rising stakes, and the slow burn of unexpected chemistry, Jane must navigate a world built for boys, where one wrong move could cost her everything - including her heart.
