They
walked at a crawl. Slivers of red light came from outside through the arrow
slits, illuminating the cracked, spiral stairway. The muggy air grasped at Max
with invisible hands, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“Almost
there,” Killian said, his voice muffled.
Max
tensed. His fingers tightened on his sword, his glove squeaking. A few more
steps and they’d reach unchartered territory. Things were never the same within
the towers. Much like her brothers and sisters, Lust thrived on chaos and illusions.
One moment they’d be walking down an empty hall and the next a door would materialize,
what lay within unknown.

Reine's Salvation
Alpha Protectors, 1
He’s the kind of man her mother warned her to steer clear from...
Mystique is happy with her current life, but for years she's struggled on a path of self-destruction. She knows she shouldn't get involved with the brooding hunk at the bar, but how can she stay away when his sorrowful gaze is so compelling?
Reine has lost everything: his wife, his friends, his ability to fight, and his identity as an Alpha Protector. There's nothing left for him except a world of anger and bitterness. At least, that’s what he believes until he meets an intrepid waitress.
The attraction between them is immediate, but while Reine can’t let go of his past, Mystique is not willing to return to hers. With darkness constantly closing in, will they find a way to be together? Or, will Reine's behavior destroy their future?

Seamus's Mate
Alpha Protectors, 2
Kaila is His. His Mate. Forever.
For years, she has ignored her feelings.
Kaila’s mission was supposed to be easy: enter the demon’s lair and save her sister. Then, he came along. For close to twenty years she has been fighting against the mating pull. She has avoided Seamus at all costs, but now they’re both trapped in hell and she has nowhere to run, except, maybe, into his arms.
