Cujo's Rampage
Khloe Wren
Book 1, Iron Hammers MC
Released: 24 October 2021
As a lone wolf with no pack, I did whatever I had to in order to survive. It wasn’t the easiest life, but it beat the hell out of living in a lab being experimented on. I was fine with my life, until I had a job go wrong and I ended up in a cell next to Lily-Rose. Turned out the little ocelot shifter was everything I never knew I needed, and I would do anything to keep her safe. Even accepting an Alpha’s authority and joining a pack.
Lily-Rose hadn’t had an easy life either. Her father had been pimping her out since she was a child, using her to fund his life. Now I’d taken her away from him, I knew he’d come for her. I counted on it. Because I had plans for that bastard.
But things don’t go as they should. And when everything goes to hell, I just hope my new pack will have my back. Because I need my mate to survive the fallout of my rampage.

Even worse, if she does not go to Rome, uncover a secret spell, and be in the exact spot the curse was bound by midnight on Valentine’s Day, her soul will continue to be cursed forever. Oh, and she has to do it all with her soul mate who was cursed to never reveal himself to her, too.

The Wolf Within (Book 1)
Ashley Keenan just wants a normal life, but she lives in a world that’s left normal behind. If she keeps her head down and doesn’t annoy any of her supernatural clients she figures everything will be okay.

And to survive she might have to learn to love her inner monster…

When Adrienne makes the decision to pack up her infant twins, Leanne and Fiona, and make for an island, she has no idea just how much her life will change. The young widowed mother of two-month-old twins can’t stay where she’s been, because they’re demanding more than she can give. They need her to be a warrior—something she isn’t. The only option is to run to the idyllic island off the coast of Queensland.
The island might be cut off from the mainland with just one fortified bridge, but Jack knows it won’t take much for the zombies to invade. With a half baked plan to blow up the bridge and the self-proclaimed mayor missing in action, he doesn’t really need more responsibility.
That is until he meets Addie and the babies. Now, he’s got so much more at stake than just the islanders protection. He’s got a ready made family, if they can just survive the next few weeks.
Only time will tell, especially when zombies are involved.

Book 14, Detectives Kane and Alton
Expected release date: 7 March
Writing scrawled on the wall of Sheriff Jenna Alton’s office overnight leads her and her deputy David Kane to a small house on the outskirts of Black Rock Falls. Inside, Jenna is devastated to find devoted churchgoer Agnes Wagner lying in a pool of blood, stab wounds covering her lifeless body. What monster would attack a defenceless woman living alone on a quiet street?
With no witnesses and no trace of the killer at the scene, the deadly message written on Jenna’s door is her only clue. But as she races to interview a contractor who recently had access to Agnes’s home, she discovers the wreck of a car on a mountain road, Agnes’s best friend dead inside.
Jenna knows the victims were close friends and she thinks a twisted killer has been watching them, waiting for the perfect time to strike. But before she can make her next move, one of her own team is found unconscious and covered in the blood of a third female victim—a knife inches away from his hand.
Pulse racing, Jenna fires questions at her shaken deputy, who can’t explain why he was in the woman’s house. Could he really be a killer, or is someone playing an evil game with Jenna and her team? The clock is ticking to uncover a dark secret in the past that connects all three victims, but can she work out who is terrorizing her small town before another innocent life is taken?

A Symphony of Savage Hearts
Lana Pecherczyk
Book 3, Season of the Vampire, Fae Guardian
has a new cover for the paperback edition.Silver is a beautiful liar.
She's human.
And a fierce killer of fae.
She marks her kills on a silver vambrace so everyone can see her savagery and stay away. As long as she keeps protecting downtrodden humans from monstrous fae-folk, and hiding the true reason for wearing magic-cutting silver, her loneliness is of no consequence. Selected for a high priority mission, she bravely heads into Elphyne, never expecting one of their worst waiting for her. Wanting her. Craving her.
Shade is sinfully attractive.
He's a vampire.
And the most hard to resist of the Fae Guardians.
From the Queen's bed to The Order, he uses the power of sex to get what he wants. Eventually they all succumb, and they all fall short of harmonizing with the darkness hidden in his soul…. until he finds the one woman who resists his every charm.
Seducing Silver will be a challenge, but it's one he was made for.
Nothing will get in his way. Not the evil creature terrorizing Elphyne. Not the human enemy with dastardly plans of their own. Not the Unseelie Queen’s obsession with him. Not even the betrayal of the one person who can hurt him the most.
This courting of savage hearts is a symphony.
And theirs will be one for history.
This final installment in the Season of the Vampire Fae Guardians Trilogy will have you screaming at the page in both encouragement and denial. Bring a tissue box for the tears... or submit to the ride. Things are about to get savage.
