Ben Blackpelt has been on the run for twelve years, ever since his father was betrayed and murdered by a treacherous wolf shifter who became the new leader of their clan.
When he stops in the small town of Lockdale, Texas, he meets Savannah Dean, a pretty, full-figured single mom who makes him want to stay in one place for a little while. But assassins are on his trail, and his attraction to Savannah might put them both in danger.
Billionaire werewolf, Trevor Dare, has learned two things – first, a wolf has no control over who his Fated Mate might turn out to be. And second, you should never kill a pack Alpha unless you want that Alpha position for yourself. Unfortunately, he learned that last lesson a little too late, and now the most notorious rogue werewolf in the city is wondering if he has what it takes to become an effective Alpha.
Detective Melissa Cartwright isn’t even sure she believes in all the Fated Mates business. She can barely wrap her head around the fact that there are real live werewolves roaming her city, let alone the fact that she’s dating one. But when Trevor’s world starts to become all too real, Mel finds herself wondering if she’s woman enough to handle it.
As their bond deepens and grows, the mysterious lycan Syndicate moves to assert its will over their lives. Trevor is given a choice – kill Melissa himself, or bite her and make her one of them. They should know by now the rogue wolf doesn’t take orders from anyone.
On a moonless Navajo night, the recessed Bengal Breed known only as Judd became Cullen Maverick, grandson to one of the Chiefs of the Six Tribes of the Native Americans.
Bengal genetics, usually so fierce as to be labeled primal, was recessed so deep inside Judd that no hint of it can be found. A phenomena so rare it’s been notated only a few times. And there’s no way, it’s believed, to force those genetics free once they’ve disappeared past the genetic level.
Now, as commander of the Navajo Covert Law Enforcement Division in Window Rock, New Mexico, Cullen leads his six agents in protecting the treasures of the Navajo Tribes by ensuring they remain safely in Navajo possession.
Added to this mix is none other than the delicate Window Rock police detective determined to stick her pretty little nose in his business.
And once Cullen realized the animosity that keeps flaming between them is far more than he imagined, then the Primal Breed that’s lurked inside him comes out to play. And when that beast decides to make itself known, Cullen suddenly remembers all the reasons it was better off sleeping. (

Abducted is Book 1 in my Alien Mate Index series.
It is a plus-sized novel–140,000 words long
My name is Zoe McKinley. I have a boring life, an awful job, and a boss that throws staplers at my head. What could be worse?
How about being abducted by Aliens?
Being dragged through a mirror, naked and screaming, onto an extraterrestrial ship was bad. Finding out I had been sold to a huge alien male who looks like the Devil was worse. But learning he wanted to trade me to an intergalactic petting zoo was the worst of all!
Now I’m whizzing through the galaxy with a robot butler, a trio of nib-nibs (they’re like tiny green monkeys) and one huge, muscular, and very grumpy alien. The clothing they gave me shows all my lady-bits, the food-sim makes banana cream pie that tastes like sauerkraut, and Sarden, my captor, is too hot to stay mad at, even if he is a jerk.
In fact, I think I might be falling for him.
What’s a girl to do? It’s all in a day’s work when you’ve been… Abducted.

Of course, that was before she realized what one little rescue would get her into . . .
