Jessie Welsh wants absolutely nothing to do with her womanizing next-door neighbor, Ben "Mikey" Miknevicius. All she wants is for him to turn down the late-night party music so she can get some sleep. He may be a sexy-as-puck hockey star, but nothing about him screams "relationship"—in other words, not for Jessie. So when Jessie and her boyfriend break up, and she's left without a place to stay, she figures it can't hurt to take Mikey up on his temporary offer to stay in his spare room, right?

From the international bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey series comes a second happily ever after novella!

Lainie Eaves has no idea she's descended from shifters. She doesn't even know shifters exist because when she was born human, her grandparents made sure she would never learn the truth about her family. But now they're dead. And she's back in Hideaway Cove to deal with their crumbling old estate—and discover everything that was kept hidden from her. Hideaway Cove is the only safe haven griffin shifter Harrison Galway has ever known—a place where, as a shifter, he can live without hiding what he is. When gorgeous, curvy Lainie arrives in town, he knows at once that she's his fated mate.

When I left my childhood small town, I had a lot to prove. Now, I have a lot to fix. Namely, my relationship with my best friends' little sister. We were just kids when I rejected Terra. Even then, I knew I was nowhere near good enough for her. I was sure I'd eventually forget her. But a decade later, working as a firefighter, the one flame I can't put out is the one I hold for her. So I'm back in Ocean Pines, but Terra's moved on with someone who doesn't have my history of bad decisions and impulsive behavior. And as if all that wasn't enough, she's sick.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

I thought I'd die before returning to the Yosemite pack, yet here I am. It's just as brutal and terrifying as I remember. Nothing's changed. Well, except for one thing—me. I am done running. I will find a way to return to Derrick, and save as much of this pack as I can in the process. There's something brewing in the supernatural world, putting all shifters at risk. We need to find a way to set aside our differences and work together before we all perish.

Three years ago, I had the hottest one-night stand in history with Finn, the brooding Pro Hockey Star. He broke the headboard, comforting my wounded heart. Turns out he's still reeling from my sneaky exit. Now, Finn's teammate, Declan, is my new boss. I need cash, and his daughter needs a nanny. Declan's a softy for his little girl. But between the sheets, he's a dominant beast. Then there's Chase, the ripped Veterinarian with ink spilling down his corded muscles. He stole my heart when he helped me rescue a lost puppy.

Rylee Adder left Eden thinking she'd put the worst day of her life behind her. She was wrong. Separated from her new family and Colton—the man she never thought she'd have to live without—Rylee finds herself in Boston facing her biggest challenge yet: surviving the Vipers' Den.

All I wanted was to go to a good college and finally get my life started. Maybe meet someone, get my degree, and do something I'm passionate about. I just wish someone had told me that my physics professor could feed on my emotions and desires, the guy who sits next to me in astrology club would be hiding his fangs, and my first friend would have a secret of his own. An incubus and a vampire should have been manageable—up until their bloodlines were mixed with an unpredictable race of Zodiac Shifters.

Clearmont Haven gave us everything: protection, peace, opportunity, and safety within the walls we called home. It only took four alphas, an impossible crime, and a single night to shatter everything. Drugged and stolen away, I'd overheard something vital, but I can't remember what the hell it was. The problem was, I needed that information if I was ever going to escape this pack. 

I've never had a problem convincing a man to take me home for a night of fun. Until I meet Alexander Krum. He leaves me wanting more at the end of every encounter. Despite our insane attraction to one another, we couldn't be more opposite. He wants to take me on a date. I want to head straight to his bedroom. He believes in romance. I know men in romance books don't really exist. He always wants to help. I can take care of myself. But then he comes to me with a proposition.

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon. 

Two months at Graves Academy, and my life is a mess. The people I thought I could trust are monsters, and those I thought were monsters, well... I was right. Even when I do my best to distance myself from these dangerous men, the push and pull of the stars keeps us tied together. There's no reason an incubus, a vampire, or Zodiac Shifters should have any interest in a human. Only, on the full moon of Pisces and the full moon of Aries, I might have to confront the fact that my incubus professor, my vampire classmate, and my mysterious coworker aren't the ones who have been lying to me.

I made a living by selling myself online. As soon as I saw the money in my account, I gave the viewer whatever they wanted. A sneak peek at what was under my skirt. A little roleplay with my kitty ears on.

I've never been the kind of girl to take the easy way out. Happy endings never came to people like me. The tarnished ones. I'm surrounded by a group that knows sadness too well. We know what it's like to lose and be tossed away like last night's trash. We are easy to blame for all the wrongs, because when others look at us, they see our scars. Most of our stories are told in the ink we bear, but we wear those tales proudly.

I once fell in love with two people. I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too. Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires. We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team. But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we'd ever wanted. Then she left us.

I was happy. I had finally won—the past was behind me, my enemies dead, and my mate at my side as we jointly ruled our pack. Or so I thought. Being Alpha isn't easy, and bad blood lingers between our elders. Fights and distrust hover like unwanted pests, our pack a tinderbox set to explode with only a single spark. To make matters worse, loose ends with the vampires threaten our safety, and that last thing I want is more dead cubs. I'd kill every vampire in the west if that's what it would take, but it seems there's something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals.

When I was sold into slavery, I made sure I wasn't worth bedding. I bit. I fought. I made such a snarl of things, they drugged me to try and calm me down. They would have eventually won, had I not been rescued. Silly me, thinking that was the end of it. Of course, I would crash land on an island. And now I'm being hunted on this exiled sector of brutal vampires. They're after my body and my blood. Magnus is one of them. I should be terrified of the gorgeous male who has taken me to his lair.
