Alpha Theo (Six-Pack #2)
C.J. Primer - 2021
* This book is very different from book one- it's a slow burn, and it's a very bumpy ride. You've been warned! THEO: I'm next in line to be the alpha of my pack, but my father doesn't think I'm ready. In his eyes, I'll never be- he wants me to grow up, straighten up, to be someone I'm just... not. At least I've got the security squad in the meantime, and I'm taking on more responsibility by working with the squad's IT unit. I assumed working with a bunch of computer geeks would be boring as hell, but the new girl on the unit has me intrigued. I'm used to getting any girl I want, yet she's rebuffed all of my advances. She's a goody-goody, thinks she's too good for me- and hell, she probably is, but that won't stop me from trying to get in her pants. Underneath every good girl persona is a bad girl just dying to get out. Challenge accepted. BROOKE: All I wanted to do when I came to work for the IT unit at the security squad was keep my head down and do my job. I was doing it pretty well, too, until Theo got assigned as the liaison between the IT unit and squad leadership. I had a crush on him as a kid, but now that he's grown he's a foul-mouthed, womanizing hothead; a total alpha-hole. Other girls may fall for this good looks and his devil-may-care attitude, but I'm smarter than that. He's hanging around the IT unit to observe and report, but he's zeroed in on me for some reason; keeps trying to get under my skin. And just when I think I can escape him, fate delivers the cruelest twist yet. ~The Six-Pack Series is a collection of werewolf shifter romance novels.

Finding Derek
Noelle Marie - 2017
Especially because she has no idea who she is. She doesn’t know where she came from or how she got there, and the man – Derek, she quickly learns – is no help in the matter. Even her own name is a mystery. (Although she is happy enough to take on the one Derek unknowingly bestows upon her in an offhanded comment, calling her a “wisp of a thing”.) Circumstances being what they are, Wisp is grateful when Derek agrees to shelter her until they can figure out who she is. Something innate – something other – tells her she can trust him. Even if Derek does seem more comfortable communicating through grunts and eyebrow raises than actual words. The attraction that buzzes between them doesn’t hurt either. In fact, it’s almost enough to make Wisp wish that she won’t ever remember her past, and that she could just stay with Derek – and his affectionate chocolate lab, Thane – forever. Well… if she could shake the feeling that someone – someone nefarious – was after her, anyway. * * * When Derek finds a half-drowned girl clinging to life on the shore of a river that runs through his land, he reluctantly brings her home with him, planning on being rid of her as soon as she gains consciousness. A proverbial wrench is thrown into his plans, however, when she wakes up and claims to have no idea who she is. Her lack of memory certainly makes her hard to return, and against his better judgement, Derek takes her in. From there, it doesn’t take long for Derek to find himself drawn to Wisp: to her ridiculously wide, doe-like eyes, to her honey-scent that seeps into every cranny of his cabin – of his life, to her innocent nature that simultaneously makes him want to hide her away from the world and wrestle her down into his bed and just… But he can’t. Because her identity isn’t the only thing Wisp’s in the dark about. She has no idea who, or what, he really is. Secrets, though, have a way of coming to light. Who would have ever guessed that Derek being a bear shifter wasn’t the most arduous one he and Wisp would have to overcome to be together? Finding Derek is the first novel in the series, Finding Us. The second installment, Finding Wisp, is due to be released December 2017.

Alpha's Mate
Carina Wilder - 2018
Roth, the Alpha of the pack, has decided that his men should return to the Old Ways and the rituals from days long past, when every female had two male lovers. He's chosen his closest friend, Laird, as his second. Now the two men just need to meet their destined mate: the mysterious, beautiful woman who has a dangerous habit of roaming through Hyde Park alone at night. Emma Danforth is a geneticist working at a London university. Solitary, scholarly and shy, she's not exactly the sort of woman who gets approached regularly by large, hot men in pubs. And she's definitely not the kind of woman who's ever found herself desired by two of them. For the self-proclaimed nerd in tights, the word threesome has only ever existed in a dictionary. But she's about to uncover a new destiny interlaced with magic, danger, and a sensuality like nothing she's ever known. The first book in the Dire Wolves of London series is approximately 50,000 words of hot shifters, a very lucky woman, and some very cold winter nights.
