Rykers Security
Isabella Hunt - 2018
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. Stone When Vicki Grant hired Blaire and I to find out who had killed her twin sister and her unborn baby, we knew it would be a tough one. We hit dead end after dead end, but—for some reason—I didn’t want to give up. One minor twist of fate, and our cold case was picking up speed. While I wanted to help Vicki discover who killed her twin, I didn’t want to do it at the expense of her life. I may not have all the answers, but the one thing I did know was that this sexy, beautiful, intelligent woman was my mate, my forever, and I’d do whatever I could to keep her safe. Rose Those eyes…where have I seen those eyes before? They are emerald green and they look remarkably like the eyes of the giant wolf I encountered in the woods. Yet…they belong to the incredibly sexy Max Ryker, who is most certainly a man in every sense of the word. I find myself returning to the woods that is part of the Ryker ranch. It’s like I’m drawn to it, even though my aunt and uncle have warned me to stay away from the Rykers. As I get to know Max Ryker and his mom and brother, I find that—even if the rumors are true, that his mom is a witch—I cannot stay away. I have a gut feeling that the Rykers are not what they seem, but will I have to give up a normal life to experience life with Max? Or can I have it all?
