You will know it’s coming, and it will hurt. But you’ll be able to prepare.Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of problems. I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that ran down his body, like he’d been broken at birth. I knew that wasn’t what the term meant, but the image stuck in my mind. Maybe the fact that he was broken drew me to him from the start.It all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me all about him, the story was old news and nobody wanted anything to do with him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up teenager.And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and never-endings. But most of all...a love story.

Book One It’s spring break. Naomi Billing is ready to party—and on a mission to cheer up best friend and self-proclaimed nerd Gwen after her recent relationship breakup.

For Wolf Moon Island has a long-held, fiercely guarded secret. And best friends Naomi and Gwen are about to—unwittingly—blow it wide open. Book Two Naomi Billing has always been a party animal. Now, she feels… well, just animal. For the fourth night in a row, she has been snapping awake with a bitter scream lodged in her throat and inhuman claws at the ends of her fingers. As the derwos of the Wolf Moon Island Pack, Orrick Erikson knows that Naomi is forbidden territory for him. So how come she is getting under his skin and driving him absolutely crazy, in a good way—and he knows he is totally going to let her?

But the more alpha they get, the more difficult things become. And there is no one more alpha than her current patient. But that is not the only secret Emily knows… Tayte’s father, Mason, is a cruel man who spends his days in a wheelchair drinking himself into a stupor and lashing out viciously at his son. Tayte has had his fair share of surprises recently. He’s just discovered he has a baby on the way with Emily. And a sister he knew nothing about. But the secret Emily holds today is so huge it’s going to change his life. Forever.
