The Beast Beside Me

After a murder threatens to expose his pack, Angus Chilton leads them across the country to thwart capture. When they settle in a town where he harbors bucolic childhood memories, Angus meets Hunter Bailey, a handsome, human barista. As their relationship heats up, Angus worries that his hunger will eclipse his desire. Can he really drag Hunter from the world of coffee just to fill his cup with blood?

Angus and Hunter are drawn together by shared trauma and similarly problematic ex-lovers. But can Angus keep Hunter safe when his murderous, impulsive, and jealous ex-boyfriend catches wind of their relationship? Conversely, can Hunter keep Angus safe from his own ex, who knows precisely how to kill a werewolf?

Readers looking for werewolves, body horror, and romance (with teeth) will love the Wolves of Wharton series. This wolfpack is willing to do whatever it takes to protect their own, and when it comes to revenge? Well, that’s become town folklore.

The Beast Within Me

Ama Chilton is the matriarch of the Wharton wolves: unfathomably old and impossibly strong. But, she wasn’t always Angus’ packrat granny with a penchant for muumuus.

After the bloody end of both World War II and her relationship, Ama Chilton abandons the Big Apple in search of what she’s never had: a wolfpack, a family.

Wharton—and the Cove Motel—was just supposed to be a rest stop on her journey south. That is, until she meets Rafe, a handsome Alpha. Rafe has just returned from the Pacific Theater, and is haunted by what he’s seen—what he’s done. He’s surly and rakish, but he offers her a job, and a pack to run with after dark.

As their bickering relationship blossoms into a passionate love affair, Ama thinks she may have finally found a place to call home.

But, Wharton isn’t just the quintessential vacation town. A series of grisly murders rocks the small community, threatening to expose the whole pack. Everyone is a suspect. And, unfortunately for Ama, her past has no intention of staying buried, either.

Taming the Beast

Returning to his hometown in Tennessee, Samuel Campbell is searching for absolution. He made a promise in Wharton to never hurt another human ever again. Coming home is the ultimate test. There are dark memories here, a trail of bodies left behind by a once-rabid wolf. In Sevierville, he discovers the hardest part of confronting his past is facing his own conscience.

Kindergarten teacher Nadia Montanari is accustomed to whispers and stares. After all, she is recently divorced, which is the absolute worst thing a 1940’s American woman can be. Then, she discovers she is pregnant. If her secret comes to light, her livelihood will be taken from her. Her family will disown her. She’ll be a pariah.

When Samuel and Nadia meet, sparks fly. But both are harboring relationship-ending secrets. And there’s something far darker too: Nadia has met Samuel before. She was nearly one of Samuel’s victims back in 1937, though neither one can remember.

The Beast After Me

Haley Campbell is caught in a snare: longing to run wild but terrified of her secret violent urges. When she finds her grandfather’s diary in the attic, she discovers her insatiable hunger is an inherited trait. The ancient frail man who used to chain-smoke in her parents’ living room is responsible for countless unsolved murders in the 1930s and -40s.

Fearful of following in his bloody footsteps—her birthright, after all—she travels to Wharton, a beachfront town, hoping to find the Alpha who may have a way of curing her hunger before someone else gets hurt.

Candy Bailey is feeling boxed-in: an unfulfilling relationship, a dead-end job, and a raging case of writer’s block. Something has to change. Then she meets Haley, a beautiful young woman on a mysterious quest. Candy is desperate to help her—if only to see her smile.

But when their relationship escalates into something more, Candy is thrust into a dangerous world she never knew existed.

Meanwhile, Alpha Angus Chilton and his human lover, Hunter Bailey, have built a quaint, beautiful life together in Wharton. The tumultuous events of the previous year are now just a distant nightmare. But when Haley makes her presence known, it may tear everything they built asunder.

Charming The Beast

Flora Wright never imagined she would leave Wharton, Virginia. She was practically born with the salt of the sleepy, seaside town flecking her cheeks. The sound of the waves lapping against the tetrapods was her nightly lullaby. The wolves that loped along the shoreline were her friends, her family—her pack. She dreamed of stardom beyond the towns’ limits, but anything beyond the local Miss Dogwood pageant crown seemed like a fantasy.

That is, until Carver Merlotte, talent scout and agent extraordinaire, put her on the next flight to Los Angeles.

Flora is thrilled to be discovered, but La La Land isn’t quite what she expected. She quickly discovers that everyone is jaded, the glamor is a facade, and a makeup brush can hide any imperfection, especially if you know your angles.

Dominic Valentine certainly knows his.

With his fame on the decline and his reputation in shambles, Dom is at the mercy of the production company. When they cast him as the villain in a low-budget horror film alongside a trembling ingenue and a volatile director, he doesn't have any choice but to accept the role.

Once the cameras roll, the fading superstar realizes there’s something special about Flora Wright. Even through the rubber monster costume he is forced to wear, Dominic can smell it.

One Mummy to Go, Please!

Elizabeth “Eliza” Cunningham has always known what she wants, whether tha’s a medal in an Olympics qualifier (Bronze!), acceptance to an anthropology program at an elite university (Oxford!), or her many sexual conquests (except her childhood best friend Reese Eldin, who was, admittedly, a drunken mistake). But when her parents are killed in a car crash, Eliza’s aspirations die along with them, and she flees as far away as the insurance money can get her: Cairo, Egypt. There, she runs a food truck called Shawarma Warrior King. She’s a good cook and scores an exclusive contract at a dig site (unfortunately, managed by Reese).

But trouble has a way of following Eliza. An accident at the dig site awakens a disgraced pharaoh called Milfonnos the Blighted One, whose delusions of grandeur have not faded in the last five thousand years. To stop him, Eliza must enlist the help of Jack Manning, a hunky security guard; Yong-Jin Hak, a mercenary; Rafi Sabbagh, a lawyer and her downstairs neighbor; and Teo Carranza, a belly-dancing thief. The group embark on a treasure hunt and heist to stop the pharaoh’s violent attack on the city. As tensions rise, Eliza finds that she has feelings for all the men—including Milfonnos.

But someone in the group isn’t happy with the harem, and his motives aren’t as transparent as they seem.

The Space Between Us

Care: The moment I set eyes on Alex, I knew she was the total package: hilarious, smart, and somehow innocent and hot all at once. I admit it: I wanted her bad. But I like to keep my options open, play the field. And sleeping with my roommate? A really, really bad idea. I’d screw everything up, and I need Alex like I need breathing. Keep the space between us, hands off—and then I’ll never lose her. So when my new boss and mentor wants a torrid love affair? I can’t resist. Even if she wants to keep us a secret, even if she’s terrified and I’m in over my head, it’s better than losing the best thing. The only thing—Alex.

Alex: Care is sin personified: intoxicating, addictive, sensual. There’s a different girl in her bed every weekend, and she can’t keep her hands off of the doctor who heads up her internship. Not a great idea, but that’s never stopped Carrington before. I want to tell her that I know all of her broken pieces; I see the things that no one else does. But she’s too wrapped up in breaking her own heart to notice all the things I want to give.
