    Paranormal Dating Agency Book 3 (STANDALONE) 
    Alyssa Moran is tired of being the old cat lady with no man. She has very specific needs and goes to visit Mrs. Wilder at the Paranormal Dating Agency. Shockingly enough, she is promised a man who likes cats, wants kids, likes curves and will be wild in bed. 
    Grayson Green needs a mate. Fast. But he refuses to be pushed into anything. That is, until a curvy funny woman shows up in his territory saying she’s there for him. Who is he to argue when someone as delectable as Alyssa decides she wants to give herself to him? 
    Of course, not all is at it seems and some people want Alyssa gone and Gray dead. If Gray mates, the future of his pride will be sealed and no one can argue his place as leader. Unless it can be stopped before they ever get a chance to make some cubs. 
    He will have to work hard at convincing a human she’s the only one for him or lose his pride and his mate. 
    Reader Note: This book contains scorching sex (the kind that will make you sweat and need ice cream), adult language (he's a very dirty talker and we like it), and violence. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you like dirty, raunchy sex with a growly tiger on one funny curvy girl, then this is right up your alley. Enjoy!

    I thought my nightmare was over. I was dead wrong. 
    I was sure I did the right thing by trying to take the relic dagger from Nathan Black, but it turns out, I was walking right into his trap for my friend Evelyn. Now Nathan’s gone, but he used the dagger to mark my skin before Rowan defeated him as alpha. 
    Even though I’m home safe, the wound won’t heal, and my life is unraveling. 
    Now, I’m being hunted by Kael, a deadly mercenary with orders to finish what the dagger started. He’s cold, ruthless, and the last person I need in my life. But when he corners me, ready to strike, something unexpected happens—he hesitates. 
    Kael isn’t just any enemy. He’s my fated mate. 
    But instead of salvation, this bond feels like a curse. Kael’s mission is to end my life. He believes the bond we feel is being caused by the dagger, and if we can sever the bond between my blood and the relic, both of us can go our separate ways. 
    I hope to gods he’s right. 
    Because even though I begin to crave him, body and soul, I can’t have a rogue wolf as my mate.

    In an alternate world, peace comes at a terrifying cost—as aliens kill to maintain their secret—in this novel by the Hugo Award–winning author of Spin. 
     
    Cassie Klyne, nineteen years old, lives in the United States in the year 2015—but it’s not our United States, and it’s not our 2015. Cassie’s world has been at peace since the Great Armistice of 1918. There was no World War II, no Great Depression. Poverty is declining, prosperity is increasing everywhere; social instability is rare. But Cassie knows the world isn’t what it seems. 
     
    Her parents were part of a group who gradually discovered the awful truth: that for decades—back to the dawn of radio communications—human progress has been molded, made more peaceful and benign, by an extraterrestrial entity. That by interfering with our communications, this entity has tweaked history in massive and subtle ways. That humanity is, for purposes unknown, being farmed. 
     
    Cassie’s parents were killed for this knowledge, along with most of the other members of their group. Since then, the survivors have scattered and gone into hiding. Cassie and her younger brother Thomas now live with her aunt Nerissa, who shares these dangerous secrets. Others live nearby. For eight years they have attempted to lead unexceptional lives in order to escape detection. The tactic has worked. 
     
    Until now. Because the killers are back. And they’re not human.
