Bad Alpha Regular
Edition:
“For Blood” by J.R. Gray
The only
way to end the war and stop the bloodshed is to marry the enemy. Every fiber of
Roman wants to hate Victoria, but the more he sees, the more he craves her. Can
he fight their past demons to be with her?
“Destiny Realized” by Khloe Wren
Leonardo
has been the clan's alpha for 300 years. Ruling his people has always been his
one and only priority. Until he, along with his brother and sister, stop at a
broken down car near their home in the Flinders Ranges on the edge of Outback
Australia. The woman they rescue turns both Leo and, his brother, Valentino's
lives upside down. A mate was the last thing Leo wanted, and everything Val had
ever hoped for.
Felicia is
on the run. Again. Her baby's daddy broke her daughter's arm the last time he
caught up with them so she's desperate to stay ahead of him. But her car breaks
down and trouble finds her. A killer takes advantage of her failing vehicle and
she fears all is lost for her and her little girl, until another car stops and
she finds herself in a whole new world where she may just have found the future
she's always wanted but never dreamed she'd have.
“Exiled Alpha” by Amber Morgan
Rachel
Jacobs is a wolf on a mission. To save her pack from destruction, she's turning
to the werewolf who nearly destroyed it once before. Arkady Gusev is everything
her father ever warned her against - so why does she find him so irresistible?
Arkady
Gusev isn't looking for a pack or a woman. But when Rachel walks through his
door, she throws down a challenge he can't resist. Is this exiled alpha about
to come home?
“Drakon’s Prize” by Moira Callahan
Being the
Alpha of a misfit clan of Dragons comes with its share of troubles. When the
supernatural Council comes to Drakon Blackwood with yet another false claim
against his clan he knows it’s time to make someone pay. Preferably with their
life.
Allegra Hanson
doesn’t work for the Council, and yet she’s been roped into assisting them in
their investigation into the Blackwood clan’s supposed activities. Against her
better judgment she goes to the clan’s lands to do what she can. What she never
planned on was her visceral reaction to the Alpha.
The
Blackwood clan land is valuable. Not for its location, but for what lies
beneath the earth’s surface. Many will do anything to get it, one will stop at
nothing, and is willing to kill Drakon’s woman to get it. Allegra is his, and
there’s no way Drakon will lose the most precious prize of all.
“Tiger’s Mate” by April Zyon
Streak
politics, and differences in opinions forced Kurt Owens to choose his own path.
While it may be outside of the law in many regards he sees it as ensuring
justice for the true victims of crimes when the system fails them. It’s his way
of seeing the guilty pay, and keeping his own inner beast in check with the
violence, and blood it craves.
Everyone
thinks having a super power would be great. Alexa Harold would beg to differ.
She’s been cursed to see ghosts, the dead not yet having gone to their final
resting place, or judgment, or wherever they belong. They track her down, and
harass her until she’s ready to go mad. Learning early in life what she needs
to avoid has been the only saving grace in keeping her sanity intact.
Then she
sees a man who couldn’t possibly be real. It was just her luck that such a prime
specimen would in fact be deceased. Only he isn’t, and he’s taking notice of
her. With a little temptation, some mystery, and a taunt he leaves her wanting
more.
Kurt never
thought he’d find his mate outside of the streak, or streak functions. While those
of a supernatural inclination aren’t exactly rare, they have had to be careful
and keep their population down. Alexa is the woman for him the only one he
could ever want or need. And when her life is put in danger by his own past
Kurt won’t stop until everyone understands to get to this tiger’s mate, they’ll
have to get through him.
“Dark Heart” by Elyzabeth M. VaLey
The world
is changing. Vampires are coming out and they’re not remotely similar to the
sensual Hollywood portrait made of them. Little by little, Shifters are being
unmasked and integration is waning. Panic is spreading. The government is
losing control. Private agencies, such as SOA struggle to find a solution, but
as the darkness grows, can one even exist?
Ten years
ago, Daryl Jones lost his pack to a group of demon vampires. Since then, he not
only lost his will to battle for good, his life has become a spiral of
drinking, fighting and fucking anything in sight. In his opinion, a pretty
perfect existence. Until, he meets the new SOA representative sent to convince
him to go back to the lab. With mile long legs, a tight little ass and a smile
to kill for, when she offers him a bargain, how can he possibly refuse?
Silvia
Adams, has one mission: convince Daryl Jones to work for SOA again. The agency
needs him to get back into the lab and help develop a serum to neutralize the
growing number of vampires. She knew it wouldn’t be easy task, but with her job
on the line, she’ll do anything it takes, including, bargaining with the
shifter and surrendering to her deepest desires. Only problem is, she might
have bartered for more than she can handle.
“Resisting His Mate” by Lynn Burke
Warrick
Keaton eludes a forced pairing with one of his kind. No one is going to choose
his mate for him, not when he wants nothing to do with being tied down to a
woman. He never expects fate to intervene in the form of a freezing, barely
alive female. With his independence in jeopardy, Warrick fights his inner
hawk's desire to stake a claim on her.
Clare Byron
longs to escape her domineering ex-husband, a jealous bear shifter determined to
keep her prisoner. She seizes the opportunity to run and lands in the arms of
another alpha—exactly what she doesn’t want or need.
For
Warrick, Clare is everything he's ever wanted in a mate and all that he's run
from.
For Clare,
Warrick is freedom in a way she never dreamed possible—the one man who will own
her heart yet give her wings to fly.
“Alpha’s Vixen” by Jocelyn Dex
Dax is overwhelmed by desire when he catches the white fox trespassing
on his land, and that totally pisses him off. He refuses to mate, no matter how
much the fox inside him wants it, Dax definitely does not.
Opal is instantly enamored with the menacing black fox, but isn’t
surprised when he chases her away—no one ever wants her, the freak-of-nature
albino.
When theft and violence bring them together again, will they give in to
passion, or will their hang-ups force them apart?
“Always Midnight” by Ashlynn Monroe
Taryne
Michael is all her younger brother Travys has ever had for stability. When
fifteen-year-old Trav doesn’t come home after he fights with her she spends the
next week searching for him. He finally comes home he’s not the same boy who
slammed the door the night he left. Something is very wrong and when she
discovers he’s been transformed into a werewolf she’s at a loss as to what to
do. The violent, angry boy isn’t the little brother she knows how to deal with.
Teenage hormones are nothing compared to the animalistic young man emerging
from the boy she’d raised.
Ax Greyson
is a lone wolf, an alpha without a pack. He enforces laws non-shifters don’t
know about. Celo Valley, is a place where two species co-reside. The werewolves
keep the humans blind to their existence by being careful. Someone isn’t
following the rules. Someone is killing, with no regard for secrets. When
killing the woman seems like the only way to keep his people’s secret until
Ax’s instincts find another way.
Mate…the
word is the only thing that can scare a man like Ax.
“Becoming His Mate” by Harper Shaddock

Cameron

Finter is forced to cut down dangerous
London alley after work, he stumbles upon pit bull shifter Alpha Gunner Jones

“The Alpha’s Assassin”
by Doris O’Connor

living doing what he does best—killing people.
The sought after assassin doesn’t have to think twice when he’s offered
a lot of money to kill the Alpha of a wolf pack, until he scents his mate.
As the Alpha of his pack Quinton
Thorn is used to giving orders. He may be gay, but that doesn’t mean he’s weak,
and he’ll squash any challenge to his leadership with ruthless efficiency. When
the threat comes from a source he trusts, however, can he afford to give into
his feelings for his mate, knowing that he’ll endanger everyone under his
protection?
The mating bond cannot be denied, no
matter what the consequences, and they might well kill.
“Discarded Pup” by
Angelique Voisen
Betrayed by his beta and abandoned by
his pack, Cole Reyes wasted the last ten years of his life rotting behind bars.
A cage is no place for a wolf, and wounds left open, fester. Cole has zero
tolerance for mercy. The time Cole spent
in prison didn’t just bleed out all the decency he once possessed. It broke him. Made him hard and unforgiving.
Cole’s vengeance starts now, beginning with his beta’s new toy.
“Yellow Eyes” by Gale
Stanley
The brutal war between shifters and
humans is over, but each side still sees the other as a threat. The only thing
they can agree on, is that they can’t agree. Humans live east of the bridge,
shifters live west. Camden is a halfbreed, the product of a rape that happened
during the war. Neither side wants him, but he lives with his human mother. The
night she dies, Camden goes west looking for revenge. He knows he won’t find
his father, and he’ll probably get himself killed, but he doesn’t care. As long
as he takes a shifter with him, he’ll die happy.
Wyat is alpha of the pack living in
the west. He’s a warrior who believes in separation of the races. Then on the
night of the full moon, he discovers a half-breed hiding in the alley. The
man’s scent makes him burn with lust, and against his better judgement, he
takes him home—and discovers that sleeping with the enemy might just lead to a
better future.

Blakeley
Caleb Stokes has had a shit night.
Too bad catching his boyfriend in flagrante delicto with the club DJ isn't the
worst thing he’ll witness before the night is through. Marick Gevrees has no

fill some Daddy fetish. But what the hell is he supposed to do when said twink
wanders headlong into the middle of a bloody vendetta that could result in the
exposure of his clan?
“Trouble” by James Cox
