Book 1 - Ashton Drake Ashton knows he’s in no shape to help anyone. His sanity is hanging by a thread; he’s failing at the job the Drakes sent him to the city to do; and many days he can’t even handle his own dragon. The only time the beast settles is when it sees Makenna, Ashton’s high school sweetheart. The trouble is, Makenna doesn’t seem to want Ashton around. She can’t forget that Ashton left her, and besides she doesn’t have time for an out-of-control Drake, even if she could ever trust him again. Ashton knows what he needs to keep his sanity - he just doesn’t know if he can win Makenna back... Book 2 - Wyatt Drake Wyatt Drake has just broken up with his long-time girlfriend, a woman he’d expected to marry, and a relationship is the last thing he wants. But his dragon is sniffing around a tourist in his hometown—a tourist who discovers more about him in days than his girlfriend did in years—and who seems to like him despite all that, or maybe even because of it. Still, Wyatt isn’t sure he’s ready for another relationship. He doesn’t want a one-night-stand or a short-term rebound girl. He’s looking for commitment. And what kind of stability can he get from a travelling food-blogger he just met? Book 3 - Ryker Drake Mina has always known her place in the dragon hierarchy of Grove—at the bottom. Her king’s court is so far out of her league that she feels like she’s intruding even when she comes to work as a maid at Ryker Drake’s house. The attraction she feels for the rock-blasting, nipple-pierced sweetheart she works for is inappropriate on so many levels. But Mina can’t help herself. Part of her wants to keep away from Ryker to protect herself from the inevitable heartbreak when he's done with her. The rest of her wants to grab onto the happiness of being with him. Even if it can’t last. Can it? Book 4 - Griffin Drake Griffin Drake always gets left behind. While his cousins leave Grove to have adventures, he’s stuck babysitting his increasingly distant and crazy cousin, Jasper, the king of the mountain. When his cousins come home to help, they all find mates, one after another. Griffin is left alone, without even a way to meet a mate. He’s always been bad at talking to women. Then he meets Lilah, who is down on her luck and easy to talk to. He offers her a job as his pretend girlfriend, so he won’t have to live through another family get-together as the only un-paired dragon. Suddenly, he’s not behind at all. Lilah moves in, gets along with his family, and lights up his life. He was sure the universe had forgotten about a mate for him, but now he knows Lilah is the one. All he has to do is convince her it’s not all make-believe. Book 5 - Jasper Drake Cora has made a mess of everything. When she ran from the tyrant who claimed her like property, she’d hoped to start a new life, not a dragon war. Now, she’s exhausted in both body and spirit. Her grand plan has led to fires, battles and an unbelievably close mate bond with the scariest dragon she’s ever met.

     Redeem the Wolf Kurt has made mistakes, big mistakes. Like the time he chased his cousin up into the mountains and nearly caused her death, all for the chance of power in the otherwise lawless town of Wolf Valley. But his actions only proved one thing, he would never be alpha material. He doubts he will ever be fit for anything since he ended up stuck in the body of his wolf for far too long. A wolf who has now abandoned him. One woman saved him; she coaxed the man out, bringing him back from the brink of insanity. He was sure she was his mate, but she couldn't be, because she left even before he could thank her. All he has to hold onto is the memory of her face, a face he paints over and over again, a face he may never set eyes on again. To Catch A Wolf At last, after what seems like an eternal wait, Hugo has caught his mate. But not in any romantic way, oh no, she’s lying face down in the dirt after trying to rustle his cattle with the other wolf raiders. All she wants to do is rip his throat out; he knows that because she’s telling him explicitly, with some extremely unladylike language. All he wants to do is pick her up, throw her over his shoulder, and take her to his bed. There he will indulge in such primal pleasures, he will capture her heart too. Right? If only life was that easy. Damn it! Bliss Merric has just about had it! Her life has never been her own, she has always put her family first. That is why she is out here, in the dark with her brothers, trying to rustle cattle. Well, at least she was with her brothers, but they have now abandoned her and left her alone. With her mate! It’s not what she wants; he’s not what she wants. But when you’re face down in the mud with his big, toned, muscly body pinning you down... No! Don’t think of him like that. He is the enemy, she has to fight her way out of this. Can Hugo catch his wolf, or will she run out of his life forever? Reclaim the Wolf Cole is determined to start over. Yes, he did steal from the people of Wolf Valley, but now he's out to prove himself to be a good man. And he plans to start by offering to repair the damage to the property of one of his victims. It all sounds so easy, until she pulls a gun on him. Although that's not what renders him unconscious, oh no, that would be the blow to his head! Trying to get by as best she can, despite the personal heartache she has experienced at the downfall of Wolf Valley, Kira isn't interested in finding her mate. What's the point when all the good men have left town? So imagine her disgust when called on for help, by her friend Fara, only to find the man lying unconscious on the ground is one of those raiders. And her mate!

As for her wolf, talk about making a fool of yourself while doing a happy dance. Can these two ever begin to understand each other? And if they do, will Cole become the long awaited alpha of Wolf Valley now he's found his mate? Can he right the wrongs of the past and help Kira mend her broken heart?

    And Tor already had her inside before he remembered what she was going to see.His brother and sister had frozen in mid-argument, both with handfuls of their dad's fur as they tried to tug him back to wakefulness or at least out of the kitchen."Is that ...?" Bernie began. She blinked and rubbed her eyes.It was possible to pass off a werewolf as a dog, but there was absolutely no mistaking a polar bear for anything else.There was a polar bear lying in the middle of the kitchen. A very large, very shaggy bear. And Tor's brother and sister were both frozen in the act of trying to pick it up."Oh, hi!" Inga said, very brightly. She dropped her double handful of Stieg's ruff, allowing his head to clunk to the floor—his tongue was lolling out now—and strode forward with a hand held out. There were long white strands of polar bear fur all over her shirt. "You must be Tor's mate—uh—friend! Hi! I'm Tor's sister. I'm Inga. What's your name?"Bernie kept trying to peer around her, where Eren had given up trying to shake the bear awake and instead delivered a swift kick to his backside. The bear grunted, rolled over, and started snoring."I, uh, I'm Bernie," said Bernie. "Is your—um—is your bear all right?""He's drunk," Eren said darkly.Tor could have pushed him through the trap door at that moment."Your ... bear is drunk," Bernie said.Compared to this, even trying to deal with a demon cat destroying her curtains, her backseat, and everything else she owned seemed halfway normal.Jump into a brand new series from Zoe Chant, featuring a beautiful, magical shifter town, a sexy, protective hero with a chaotic polar bear family, a tough heroine picking up the pieces of her shattered heart, a maybe-haunted lighthouse ... and a cat only his owner could love.

    For five years, I’ve known one thing, and that is that my stepsister is my fated mate. I’ve felt the pull to her, and it’s undeniable. When my alpha sent me on a mission to bring back a wolf shifter, who had taken up residence in her town, I was hoping and fearing that I’d see her again. And my hopes and fears became reality on my first day there. She was the wolf. And my alpha wants her. Liam My mission was simple. I had to search for the missing journalist, Rebecca Schmidt, and find out if she was alive and well. While I did find her, I didn’t expect to feel such a magnetic pull towards a complete stranger. When she was attacked outside the bed and breakfast, I knew I had to help. When my father, Conner, and Kody came to help me get to the bottom of why werewolves were after Rebecca, Kody sensed something “off” about her. That there's darkness in her. I only hope I can keep Rebecca safe and get to the bottom of why she’s being targeted, and in the meantime, I pray that she feels the same undeniable draw towards me as I do towards her.
