Story centers around Belle a woman who has not had much luck in the area of romance and Brian a local newspaper columnist. Brian is wanting to interview Belle who bakes a special cupcake on Valentine's Day. Belle was taught the fine art of baking by her grandmother. She perfected the family re...
It was clear that she had an idea of what her parents had done in the name of keeping her safe, but I didn’t think she knew the extent of it. There was a part of me that wanted her to be able to hold onto those idealized versions of her parents in her memories. Because in truth, now that I knew w...
I asked for probably the tenth time since we arrived outside the cave system on the opposite side of the island. We were standing outside a small crevice in the rock wall that soared above our heads and blocked out the morning sun. It was cold in its shadow. The crevice that Benjamin said was the...
He had listened in the hall for a few minutes. He thought that she might have tried to hide the situation from Alex, but he was a sharp kid. Billy thought the direct approach was best. He had something else that he was going to suggest, and he had no idea how Thea was going to react. ...
It was what he told himself he wanted, and yet at the same time, he was uncomfortable with it. He felt like one big ball of exposed nerves. It was a feeling quite unlike any other that he had experienced for a very long time. Added into that, every time he looked at her, he wanted to grab her and...
He wanted us to be fresh and on our toes in case we did find Riley at the Sisters of St. Joseph. I knew he was stalling for time. I wanted to get there as quickly as possible, but I couldn’t deny he was right. Fatigue had started to set in, and I felt it in every limb of my body. &nbs...

Lukas knew what I was doing, but he didn’t say anything to tell me to turn it off, so I left it. The rest of the ride to the edge of the park reserve seemed to take forever. I kept going over the words “alpha mate” in my mind. I wished that I had a pad of paper with me. No...
He had security pull every single videotape in the building across the last four hours. He was looking for any sign of Kelly. He knew that she had to have entered the Market shortly after she left the club. From there, it was just a guessing game trying to retrace her path. Cal hadn’t been as muc...
I had forgotten that Lukas had summoned Billy to the house before the evening festivities got into full swing. Then I frowned and looked at my watch. If I was going to the gala that evening, I needed time to get ready too. I threw my stuff back in my bag and stood up just ...
I reached up to wipe the grime out of them and felt a serious throb in my temple that caused me to groan. My eyes fluttered open, and it didn’t take more than a second to realize that I had no clue where I was. I sat up and immediately regretted it. The pounding inside my ...
That was why I missed it the undertones that would have given me a clue that he had been there recently. I couldn’t believe I had been so stupid. I had maneuvered Maren behind me thinking that would protect her. Instead, I led both of us right into a trap. There was a part...
