Barnes & NobleSerena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option leftโif heโll have her.
As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesnโt matter if Serena doesnโt reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.
But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with herโand Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilationโฆ

Barnes & NobleWild Reverence by Rebecca Ross If you adored the Letters of Enchantment duet, Wild Reverence will feel like a kindred spirit and a higher power. Where Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows featured Iris and Roman’s epic love story forged through letters, the fated love in Wild Reverence is built from dreams.
