Magic exists. I know - it’s in my blood. Unfortunately, not all people from magical bloodlines have powers, and at 22, I’m several years past the age they usually appear. So, I’ve resigned myself to a boring, magic-less life. Then, something strange happens. I get stuck in the middle of a bar fight, and instead of just punching the guy back, I blow a hole in the wall.

Five broken alphas. One lost wolf. A fate she never expected. I'd never looked into my past—never tried to discover what awaited me there. Maybe I should have. Mona's arrival brought a whirlwind of possibility, even if her claim seemed impossible. How could I be her daughter? It was a moment of discovery quickly eclipsed by what she needed from me—why she had truly shown up at Silver Falls University.

My life is irreversibly changed by coming to Silver Falls University. Although I don't truly realize just how much until we visit the Whitepaw pack. I wish I could say that the most upsetting part was reuniting with a pack that had no problem expressing their dislike of me. No, instead I find myself remembering something about my past that I'd completely forgotten.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years.

This Sky Brooks bundle includes books one through four.

The last thing I expected was him. A surly, broody mountain of a man who helps me save an injured deer in a snowstorm. Now, Roan Hartley keeps showing up with his glowers and grimaces. But they only make his rare smiles and the gentle way he talks to my daughter mean that much more. When forces from my past find us, Roan is determined to keep us safe—even if that means sleeping on my ancient couch every night.

Rebecca Amber knows what it’s like to lose all hope. That’s why she volunteers to help struggling teens, always taking along her giant, two-hundred-pound lapdog named Lilah. The Bull Mastiff loves the kids almost as much as Rebecca does. When an eerie stranger shows up on the streets with a new drug called Quell, Rebecca will have none of it. Little does she know that interfering with this drug dealer means taking on alien criminals far worse than anything she’s faced before—and they will not hesitate to eliminate her—and her pet.

The Interstellar Brides Program guarantees it can match any female on Earth, even a cynical, street-wise, and very jaded Zara, who just wants to start over. But when she arrives on her new home planet...she gets more than promised: Murder? Check. Smugglers? Check. A sexy-as-hell pirate who demands she follow his orders? Um, what? Zara didn’t volunteer for this mess, but she’s a fighter. A survivor. She’ll work with a sexy - did I say bossy? - rebel to bring down the bad guys and take on a Rogue Five legion in order to obtain what she wants.

After a snowstorm grounds her flight, Lucy makes a last-ditch effort to get home for Christmas using a rideshare app. She thinks she’ll be taking a road trip with a stranger...but the guy who shows up is someone she knows all too well. He’s the hookup she ghosted a few months ago, and now she’ll be stuck in a car with him for the most awkward road trip of her life.
