The battle for a new beginning has just begun.

CAPTIVE DESIRE From USA Today bestselling romance author Willow Winters, comes an unexpectedly hot standalone with two alphas and one human mate. Get ready for a fast paced and steamy paranormal novella in the To Be Claimed world that romance readers can’t stop raving about. We tracked her down, now we’re keeping her. We’re the twin Alphas of Dark Valley, opposite in almost every way but both of us are shocked that we share a mate… and that she’s human. I have no idea how this pretty little woman could handle one of us, let alone both. When lust turns to obsession, neither of us will be able to fight the pull to her and I’m not sure either of us will be willing to share. She never could have known what searching for answers about shifters could lead to and neither could we. Now the only thing she'll be learning is who she belongs to. If you enjoy sexy, alpha werewolves and standalone, insta-love stories, complete with a happily ever after, this book is for you. Grab Your Copy! Meet Willow Winters: I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not? I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers. And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

![]() 2 Roommates. 2 Fairy tale retellings, including Beauty and the Beast and Red Riding Hood. = One epic new series! ![]()
My name is Belinda, but everyone calls me Belle. Though I’m human, I live in vampire territory with my roommate Nat outside Fallen City, in what’s known as the Halo. I'm a thief because that’s all a nobody like me can be. Plus, I'm really good at it, thanks to years of training.
I’ve accepted my fate. In fact, I’ve embraced it. So much so that I agree to do a dangerous job, one no one else wants. In exchange, I’ll be free of my vampire boss and can run my own crew.
But even after all my preparation everything goes horribly wrong, and my mark tries to murder me.
When my death doesn’t take, he forces me to attend the Angel Academy, where I do my best not to fall for the enemy, a vicious beast of an archangel determined to make me the same as him.
And then I do the unthinkable, which puts me in even bigger trouble.
Will the beast notice I’m gone?
If he does, he’ll probably celebrate. Because, despite everything between us, I'm sure the beast doesn’t care for me at all.
Too bad I can't claim to feel the same way.
Despite everything, I may never escape, and that's a fate worse than death.

But the alpha werewolf doesn’t want a pet. He wants a thief and will go to great lengths to make that happen, including changing me into something I’m not.
After using a witch to remove my human mark and then replacing it with angel essence, I’m a student at the Angel Academy.
Right away, things go from wrong to horrible.
For one, Belle is there. She’s my best friend and my only family. But I might have to kill her to get what I want. Otherwise, Levi, the big, bad werewolf hottie who’s also my guard, will do the deed for me.
I won’t let that happen, no matter what.
At the same time, I can’t deny my feelings for the wolf either, and part of me wants to believe there’s a good man under all his blustering fluff.
Will I have to choose between my family and my desires? There’s only one thing to do, and I don’t know if I have the guts to make it happen.

![]() ![]() A Match Made in Ireland
-- EXCERPT: It was him. The man from the plane sat on the bed, staring at a drawing pad on his lap. The spiky red hair, the smattering of freckles, and the creased eyes triggered a series of flashbacks that ran through my mind: the lack of spatial awareness, the soda down my leg, and the stolen dinner roll. I pulled the covers over my head, my heart racing and the pit in my stomach digging into my pelvis like a concrete boulder. I dragged the duvet below my eyes and squinted, trying not to be obvious. Am I dreaming? Ha! Maybe I’m having a nightmare. The same red hair, now tousled from sleep, rested against the wall. I pushed the blanket down to my shoulders and said, “Hello, again.” He looked up from his drawing pad and tilted his head to the left, tapping his pencil against his scruffy chin. “I remember you. From the plane.” I tried to smile, but my lips refused to rise. I pushed my body against the back wall and pulled the sheet closer to my armpits. “What are you doing here, if you don’t mind me asking?” “I could ask you the same thing. I live here.” My eyes bulged and I scrambled to a seated position. “You can’t live here. You’re a guy. This is an apartment with women. Foreign exchange students. A bunch of Americans.” I spoke slowly, as if that would make him understand. Jaime chuckled and looked down again. “Yes, I am aware, but this is my apartment now. I forgot to renew my housing paperwork last semester, and they gave my room away. This was all that was left. They told me I was living with Rory, Zoey, and Marissa. I take it you’re Rory?” I nodded. “I thought you were an Irish lad.” I swallowed loudly, the saliva crawling down the back of my throat. Reaching across my bed to my nightstand, I downed a bottle of water. Cloudiness from the alcohol still in my system slowed down my brain’s processing ability, and I struggled to understand his words. “You can’t live here,” I said again. “I wish I didn’t. Living with a bunch of Americans during my last year of college is the last thing I want to do, but it’s that or be homeless so I’ll suck it up.” He returned to his drawing and spoke to his paper. “Nice to meet you, Rory.” His amber eyes looked over, scanning my top half. “Fun time last night?” My brain beat against my forehead, and I massaged my temples. “Yeah. Sorry if I woke you.” “No worries. I spent the night with my old flatmates. They live downstairs, and I came up here to crash. I didn’t even hear you come in.” I grabbed the hooded sweatshirt sitting at the end of my bed, and pulled it over my body. “Are you sure they said there was nowhere else? I mean, I don’t know, Jaime. You’re a guy, a stranger, really, and I have a boyfriend. I don’t think he will be too excited when I tell him my roommate’s an Irish guy.” His liquid gold eyes looked me up and down. “I asked to be moved and they put me on a waiting list if some other American no-shows, but I want my old flat and my old flatmates. Unless they can squeeze me back in there, I’m staying here. So, there it is. An Irish bloke and an American lass living together. That’ll make a good story for the grandkids. Promise, you won’t even know I’m here.” ![]()
GIVEAWAY! ![]() Pity Party
-- EXCERPT: “Your total is two thousand forty-eight dollars,” I tell the beaming bride-to-be who’s nearly blinding me with her over-the-top white teeth. She’s like Ross Geller from that one episode of Friends. I used to dream of being just like her—hopeful, excited, no visible baby bump while planning my impending nuptials. Unfortunately, life has kicked me in the teeth often enough that I’m slowly stepping away from that fantasy. Instead, I’m focusing on the fact that women like her are probably more stressed out than your average sky diver during a tornado. Will he say yes? Does his mother hate me as much as I think she does? Should we really be spending this kind of money on one party? And the most important—Does he know I was serious when I said I don’t clean toilets? The list goes on and on. “You’re the best, Melissa!” the petite blonde with the unnatural orange tan gushes. She says this like I just brought her bail money at two in the morning. As she hands me her credit card, she adds, “You must love owning a bridal shop! I mean, could there be a better job?” I didn’t think so ten years ago when I became my mom’s partner at Bride’s Paradise. I had recently graduated from college and was so full of hope and anticipation about my own wedding I couldn’t imagine anything better. Not that I was engaged or even dating anyone at the time, but I was raised on television shows like Say Yes to the Dress, Bridezilla, and David Tutera’s My Fair Wedding. I’d fantasized about my big day for over a decade at that point. For a generation that is meant to believe there’s more to life than marriage, we sure spend a lot of time dreaming about it. Being fed a constant visual diet of what our big day is supposed to look like wreaks havoc with expectations. Somehow a wedding has become more about the show and what we wear than about true love. Had I only gotten hooked on Law and Order or Dr. Who, I might have become a lawyer or even a Time Lord. Note to self: investigate the kind of credentials needed to become a Time Lord. I hand the credit card back to Brooklyn as her wedding party circles around her. Her maid of honor squeals—loudly—“Oh, my GOD, Brook! This is it!! You said yes to the dress!” We’ve already taken pictures with the requisite signage and hashtags to ensure that everyone the bride has ever met will know where she bought her gown. Hashtags are the backbone of my business. #BridesParadise #ElkLakeWisconsinWeddings #LoveIsInTheAir #ImSoSickOfMyJobICouldSpit ![]()

3 Heart Review by Ashley
After catching the blurb for Risk, I knew it would be my first read from Kenzie Macallan. It toted all the things I LOVE...danger, high stakes, and a mystery that stayed hidden to the end. That being said, it was a bit of a mixed bag for me.
![]() Campbell Why is lying to my boss so much easier than trying to lie to Quinn? She always had a way of knowing when I wasn’t telling the truth. I could never escape the scrutiny of her eyes when I told her one of my white lies about my personal life. She would want to know who I was dating and what she was like. I hid that side from her because those women never measured up to her. That’s why I never tried to lie to her and would often avoid her as we got older. I couldn’t risk her brother catching on to how I felt about his sister. The day she got married almost killed me, but I had no recourse. Numbness took over as she gave her heart and body to another man. I wanted her for myself, but it would never happen. Her marriage was right for her because I could never step up. Her brother is and always will be my best friend, no matter what they suspect him of. I would never betray him by dating his sister, especially with my disability, the one-legged wonder. He would want better for her, but I will find her and keep her safe. The five-hour flight from Washington, DC to Las Vegas seems like five days. The plane ride is quiet as everyone on the team realizes the significance of rescuing Quinn so the program doesn't get into enemy hands. Our contact with Deep 8 came about by accident, but if this program finds its way to the wrong people, it will have global consequences. We want boots on the ground at the Gold Point location to scout the area before rescuing Quinn. If they've hurt her, I can’t guarantee I’ll spare their lives to get information. The plane touches down and two Jeep Cherokee Trackhawks wait for us. They loaded these vehicles with Hemi engines, pulling over 700 horsepower, equipped with every bell and whistle. The US government will spare no expense to get the MAGS program back in its hands. Sean, Mac, and I jump into the gray one, and Beck, Dean, and Declan get into the black Jeep. Sean guns the engine and peels out of the airport with a nearly four-hour trip ahead of us. “Mac and I wanted to talk to you about how this is going to go down once we get there.” Sean’s eyes are on the road as his fingers grip the steering wheel tighter. “Understood. What did you have in mind?” I say it as if I’m ready for anything, which I’m not. I’m the weakest link on this mission. “We’re not exactly sure what waits for us once we get there. There isn’t a soldier on this team who doesn’t have a funny feeling about this. I’ve put some backup in place, and they guaranteed me they will be there. It would be best if you split off from us once we get Quinn. You need to get her alone and get her to talk about where her brother might be. We’re on a time crunch with this, but you’ll have to tread lightly. We’re not sure which side she’s on.” Sean uses diplomacy in his approach. ![]() ![]()
