What reader's say about Michelle Fox's werewolves: "I love how well the characters are developed and rounded out - I feel like I know about these characters before they jump in the sack - which for me is a HUGE deal!" "Fox adeptly weaves several enchanting love scenes into her romance framework. Best of all, they actually add to the story." "This is the third shifter story I've read from this author, and I love the edge of humor, the way she introduces the problems of the pack, and the wolfish behavior that sneaks into the human interaction." Little known fact about being a werewolf: There are always wolves at your door and some of them are up to no good. Chloe Weiss' dreams have finally come true: She's a null no more, her wolf has finally come. She's now a full member of her pack in the remote Appalachian 'weretown' of Hunstville. Even better, she's mated to the pack's next alpha, Jackson Swift. However, now that she's on the other side of her happy ending, things aren't quite as rosy as she'd expected. The women of her pack resent her status as alpha's mate and suddenly there are rumors that Chloe is an Omega, a werewolf so weak they are banned from ever mating. Worse, an old friend of Jackson's blows into town full of disapproval....and competition. It seems no one likes Chloe except Jackson. Then women start disappearing, violently kidnapped from their homes and never heard from again. There's a killer on the loose in the small town of Huntsville, and the one wolf he'd do anything to have is Chloe. Now Chloe will have to fight...for Jackson, her place in the pack, and her life. This novel is a sequel to the bestselling To Bring Her Wolf.

What's an alpha to do when he's found his fated mate, but she reacts to the news by kicking him in the balls? Gretchen Halbmond became a diehard Daddy's girl the day her mother ran out on them both. She doesn't believe in love and isn't looking for it, but when her ailing father is attacked and left bloody by wolves on the wrong side of the law, she goes out in search of what she does believe in: Justice. Sheriff Talon Garde has way too much on his plate. Humans have breached shifters' carefully guarded privacy and are about to go public. If he can't stop them, what happened to Gretchen's father is going to be the least of everyone's worries. More importantly, despite Talon's rep as a badass alpha whose growl strikes fear in the hearts of criminals, Gretchen's scent makes him go all squishy inside. She's THE ONE, he's sure of it. There's just the small matter of convincing Gretchen it's pointless to fight fate...and surviving the way she fights it. Standalone novel with NO cliffhanger. NOTE: While this is book 2 of the Huntsville Pack series, all the books are completely standalone. The series does revisit favorite characters, but the plots don't carry over from book to book, they are resolved at the end of each story.

Can the prey really catch the predator? Or will the predator devour the prey? When Maya, a dark sorceress, discovered an ancient scroll in her search for ultimate power, she kidnapped a lethal Alpha known for his ruthless and brutal ways, an Alpha known to be more beast than man. Alpha Xavier Thaeos, the Southern Cardinal Lord. He ruled over others weaker than him and was considered a living nightmare. He was the Alpha of Alphas. The head honcho. And Maya had succeeded in chaining him to the walls of her keep and bleeding him to activate the scroll's ritual, never realizing that she was walking face first into a trap big enough to bind herself to the cunning Alpha. Permanently. ***This steamy werewolf romance contains explicit love scenes.*** Excerpt: “What is the purpose? Why risk your life and do something so very foolish as to cross me?” the daunting Alpha asked. With a slight lift of her upper lip, the sorceress pulled the silver dagger out of her bag and approached the daunting Alpha. “Someone like you wouldn’t understand.” “If you don’t tell me, how do you know I won’t?” he asked swiftly, watching the dark sorceress step into the barrier between safety and chaos. A feral smile emerged on Xavier’s lips. His primal urges awakened as the wondrous scent of spring blossoms curled around his senses and teased him with its delicious elements. Maya watched him with sharp eyes, suspicion collecting in the light depths. “First of all, why do you even care?” There was a little pause after her words, as if he were contemplating her question with the utmost consideration. All the while, his citrine-colored eyes stared directly into her own, molten and heated, in such an unbearable way that she had to remove her gaze. Maya hated the way he stared at her. It gave her this insecure feeling of being the lesser of the two, as if he were superior to her and would one day make her pay for her insolence. She loathed the feeling of being the prey when he was the mighty predator. It irked her to no end. “Because you interest me,” he said. “You make me want to know more about you.” His powerful statement caused goosebumps to litter Maya’s skin in sickening amounts. She had to stop herself from heaving in disgust. Her back straightened and her shoulders squared when she stopped but a foot from him, smiling sweetly, angelically up at him with those full pouty lips he wanted to map with his own. Then, she replied to him with a harsh stab of the silver dagger straight through his muscled forearm. “Your interest is rather strange and unnecessary,” she replied offhandedly. “And I would prefer you keep it to yourself, or I will do it for you.” Maya heatedly watched as crimson blossomed on his skin and collected in the copper chalice she had conjured. The first few drops pitter-pattered in her cup, dancing a light rhythm, until she twisted the dagger sharply and caused blood to gush down and fill the cup. “Don’t forget, Alpha, you are my prisoner. Cooperate and I will let you go. Retaliate and I will let you rot within the very depths of hell,” she threatened, crudely removing the dagger before digging it back into his arm to state how serious she was. “Mark. My. Words.” In response to her violent caution, mirth filled his eyes instead of fear, anger, or pain. Let him go? He smirked at the quixotic thought. She would not be able to.

"This story just began and I'm already craving it like a drug...I'm even writing a review, when it is something that I NEVER do! Before reading, you just need to know that it is dark, so if it is something you don't like, this story is not for you. But if you could care less, and you love romance, hot werewolf dominant men, and strong women, this story is just for you! The plot is marvelous and for those like me who read thousand of werewolf's stories, its originality is like fresh wind..." "This story is far from the cliche werewolf stories out there. I’ve only read the first few but it has me hooked! The writer is so descriptive that I can picture everything in my mind. This story is a must read for anyone who loves a little mystery with their romance." "Really, really, reeeeeally great story!! It's definitely a 10/10!!"

She’s the one girl this player can’t have. A human. I’m dying to claim the redhead who lights up the club every Saturday night.

When she learns my secret, my alpha orders me to wipe her memories. But I won’t do it. Still, I’m not mate material—I can’t mark her and bring her into the pack. What in the hell am I going to do with her?
