Ancients Rising

When the world devolved into chaos and fire, Alpha wolf King kept his territory from collapsing. Now, every day it seems there's a new challenge-rogue witches, treacherous vampires, evil dragons. But his biggest threat is Aurora. Unique, magical, a female who sees him, the male, and not simply the Alpha in charge. But she's thrown up so many walls that he's afraid he'll never be able to break through to the woman behind them. When the most dangerous threat they've ever faced ravages the city he'll need her at his side-to defeat it, and then claim the woman who already owns him, body and soul. But she makes him want more. After being held captive for a year, Aurora has embraced her freedom. For the first time in her life she's living away from her older sister in a new territory. A new world. She's made friends and is helping New Orleans get back on its feet. But she's far from the woman she used to be. Even so, she can't fight her ever present and growing attraction to King. Except she's afraid she's broken, that she'll never be able to have a normal relationship again-that she can't handle being an Alpha's mate. When an evil linked to his past threatens to tear them apart and destroy the city, she must set her fears aside and find the courage to follow her heart-and the wolf who's already won it. Contains mature themes.

Juniper hunts down the most dangerous criminals on her black ops missions-and she's good at it. A dragon shifter who was raised by wolves, she doesn't know her birth clan and gave up trying to find them a hundred years ago. Since The Fall, when rogue dragons razed half the planet, she's spent her days hunting down supernaturals who think they can escape justice, delivering her own. During a dangerous mission, she falls into the claws of a sexy warrior dragon adjusting to the modern world-and from the start she knows she's in trouble. Dragon shifter warrior Zephyr doesn't fit into this new world. He doesn't feel like he fits in anywhere-until he meets Juniper and her crew. He knows from the moment he sees the sexy and brave female dragon that they're destined to be together. Unfortunately, life just got a whole lot more complicated. Not only are they in the fight of their lives against an overwhelming enemy force, but she's royalty and her long-lost clan has come to bring her home. Even as they fight side by side to save hundreds of humans, he knows that winning her heart will be the hardest and most pivotal battle he's ever waged. Juniper doesn't want to get mated, doesn't trust anyone with her heart-but this is one battle Zephyr will never stop fighting. Contains mature themes.

She's been sheltered her entire life . . . Stella is from a fierce and ancient dragon line, but when her kingdom was invaded and half her family slaughtered, everything changed.

After years of being smothered, she needs freedom, to spread her dragon wings and experience life. So when her grandmother tasks her with a job in New Orleans, she jumps at the chance to strike out on her own and prove herself. He's never met anyone like her . . . Dragon shifter Rhodes is a killer. An assassin. And he's been ordered to kidnap the dragon princess Stella as vengeance against her clan. He's always finished his contracts-until he meets her. Now he'll do anything to keep her safe. To claim her forever as his mate. But first they'll have to overcome the danger stalking her-and then he'll have to figure out how to get her to forgive him for betraying her. Contains mature themes.
