Dear to My Hart
Whit Valentine - 2018
His older sisters tend to mom him almost to death, and he finds his solace in working on cars, not really considering the future beyond the next project. He's happy enough with the status quo, and though a mate would be nice, he's not really looking. Enter a cutie with big brown eyes who keeps popping up wherever Riley goes, and Riley just might be in trouble. Quentin Quentin Williams is the 19-year-old son of paranormal enthusiasts who classify themselves as vampire hunters, were-wolf killers, and ghost chasers. As far as Quentin knows, they’ve never seen a single paranormal aside from him, and they don’t even know he is one. He constantly struggles to hide what he really is so he doesn't end up the subject of his own family's paranormal blogging. But he's got problems: he's never alone (they live in a motorhome), he’s spindly (if he actually met a were-wolf, he’d be toast), and he’s asthmatic (running through musty houses and damp woods is an issue). The fact that his family does everything in their power to make his life miserable certainly doesn't make things easier. A chance encounter on a full moon night, and both Riley's and Quentin's lives will change forever. That is, if they live long enough. Some unexpected revelations turn their worlds upside down, and the whole Susilauma clan will have to pull together to save Quentin and Riley's mating—and their lives. HEA with no cliff-hangers. Contains adult language, graphic descriptions of sex between males, brief instances of domestic abuse, and violence. The Susilauma Wolves stories feature the true mates trope, animal shifters, and man-on-man lovin'. If this isn't your cup of tea, don't spend your book allowance here. Does NOT contain knotting or MPREG.

In his twenty years, Wynn has seen omegas stripped of their rights, only to have those rights placed in the hands of the nearest alpha. But Wynn is different, recruited at a young age, he’s always known his purpose, to eliminate the worst of the worst.

From a gritty neighborhood on the wrong side of the tracks, Magnus has spent his life clawing his way to the top. He may have started in the slums, but now he’s a billionaire alpha whose name is the only one that matters when it comes to tech security and defense.

His life is his work, so when a gorgeous omega with a golden gaze and pretty smile bumps into him, he doesn’t have time be interested. But, Magnus can’t ignore his inner wolf and soon all he wants is to be near Wynn, to see him, smell him, claim him. Immediately after first contact, Wynn is conflicted. He’s positive that he’s never known an alpha like Magnus, but if his name has shown up on Wynn’s list then he must be evil. To think otherwise is to doubt his life’s devotion. And it doesn’t take long for Magnus to have a list of questions a thousand miles long for Wynn, his secretive omega. But his questions don’t stop him from realizing Wynn isn’t just the bravest man he knows, he’s also his mate. When outside forces begin to press in—Wynn’s jealous boss for one—the two must decide what their love is worth, because it may well cost them everything.
