I clench my thighs as my mind forgets the entire reason I said yes to this date. Now all I can think about is feeling his lips on mine; feeling his firm hand kneed and massage my flesh marking it as his own, and the hard bulge I can feel pressing against my thigh only spurs those thoughts on further. “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?” I ask in a breathy voice while a smirk plays on my lips. He replies with a sardonic smile, “As a matter of fact, Dasha, it is.” My eyes blow wide, and I feel my blood run colder than the wind that blows against us as I watch him pull an ASP handgun from his pocket and place it under my chin. ~~~~~ Being the daughter of a mafia boss and an assassin has led to an interesting life for Dasha Hatzis.

Whole Again
Reads
“I love you so much, my Snuggle Wolf,” I say as I nuzzle his neck and place a soft kiss on my mark taking pride of place at the junction of his neck. The iridescent shift of Beatrix’s paw print residing on his flesh reminds me that we are united now and forever. I feel him shiver under my touch and relax just a fraction, so I gently brush my lips against the mark in a loving gesture. “We can handle anything if we face it together. I believe that. We were brought together for a reason, and I don’t know what that reason is, but what I do know is that we make each other happy. What could be wrong with two people making each other happy?” I ask, pulling back to look in his teal eyes now glassy with unshed tears. I place featherlight kisses on his eyelids and feel his arms tighten around me. “I would be lost without you. I never felt more lost than the day I hurt us both, but I have felt at home every minute since you let me into your heart. Thank you, for trusting me with something so precious,” he says with love and sincerity as he places his hand over my heart. ~~~~~ Whole Again is a spin-off to A Queen Among Alphas.

“You’re the Alpha?” I spit, far more harshly than I intended. She flinches at my tone and I instantly feel like shit. “How are you an Alpha? You’re a woman,” I say and, for a second, anger flashes in her eyes. 'Stop upsetting our soulmate, you jackass!' Hisses my wolf Ace. “Nothing gets by you, does it? I’m the Alpha the same way your Alpha became one; I was born one,” she says matter-of-factly. “So, is this like, a temporary position?” I ask, still trying to understand. “Temporary?” She asks calmly. “As in, you hold the position until you find your animai and then he becomes Alpha, and you take over as Luna,” I explain. She looks as if I just slapped her. “Are you actually suggesting that I should hand over my birthright?” She asks in a tone that makes me shiver with dread. ~~~~~ A Queen Among Alphas is the first book in the Queen Among series and is now available in paperback.

"You are still my xingan baobei; you’re my precious flower and love of my life. You’re the missing part of my soul and I would rather be dragged down to the pits of hell to suffer for eternity than live another second without you, or not feeling our bond because that would be worse than any torture anyone could think up.” I take a shaky breath as I hear her heartbeat become erratic. “I love you Mei and I don’t care how much time you need to recover; whether it’s a year or a hundred, I’m not going anywhere.

“Because I don’t want to keep you against your will, Valeria. I care about you, enough not to want to hold you here or be the reason something bad happens to you,” I say gravely. “Would you stop being so fucking self-sacrificing for five minutes and just tell me what you want? You’re always thinking about what’s best for everyone else, but what about what’s best for you? Just stop and tell me what you want!” She yells in frustration. “YOU!” The word erupts from me of its own volition. “I want you,” I say as tears well up in my eyes, “I want you to stay; I want it more than I’ve ever wanted anything, and it scares me. I’ve lost everything that ever mattered, and so now I have nothing left to lose. If you stay, I have something to lose and that terrifies me.” Silence stretches between us, and I can feel my heart pounding away in my chest. She must think I’m insane. ~~~~~ A Queen Among Darkness is the 4th book in the Queen Among series. It is recommended you read books 1, 2 and 3 before starting this book.

“I…” she says, gaping like a fish. “Are you really going to let some ignorant morons decide who you should be fated to or not? Do I mean that little to you?” I question, the hurt and anger rising in my voice. “I’m sorry,” she whispers, once again hanging her head. I kneel on the bed, clasping her head in my hands – feeling currents of electricity shoot through my hands – and force her to look at me, “I don’t want ‘sorry’, I want to hear you accept me. I want to hear you say, fuck everyone else, they can all rot in hell as long as we have each other. I need you to say that,” I beg, tears filling my eyes. I hear her gulp and watch the tears pool in her chestnut eyes, “I love you, Sorrell. I think it was love at first kick,” I tell her, and she lets out a strained laugh as her eyes remain glassy from unshed tears, “I was certain after that day we met that you were my soulmate, and I wasn’t wrong. I’m begging you to give us a chance. Forget about everyone else, I don’t care what anyone says, I want you, I need you, please.” ~~~~~ Bite-Size Luna is a prequel set 49 years before the events of A Queen Among Alphas, this can be read as a stand-alone book but terms and characters will make more sense if you've read book 1 in the Queen Among Series.

Determined to not let anything stop her, she holds firm despite catching the eye of the new Alpha. She can’t understand why the obnoxiously good-looking Alpha has taken such an interest in her, but it all makes sense when on her 18th birthday she learns they have been fated. Sorrell was ready to become a pack warrior but becoming a Luna to a pack who definitely don’t want her is not something she was ready to sign up for. Will she turn her back on fate, or can Alpha Alden convince her to take her rightful place as his Luna?

“I am so sick of your hot and cold bullshit. You openly claim me in front of my parents and that bitch, Circe, then all of a sudden you can’t be free of me fast enough. Which the fuck is it? You can’t have both, Lemuel. You can’t claim me and then want to be as far away from me as possible, so tell me what the fuck you want?!” I shout in an angry rush. “I DON’T KNOW!” He screams, stunning me. I didn’t know his vocal cords had such range. His brows are dipped in a deep-set frown, and his chest is rising and falling like he’s struggling to get air. I look into his eyes, but all I see is overwhelming conflict. He truly doesn’t know what he wants. I move my body close to his until we’re just a breath apart, “Tell me you feel nothing when I do this,” I say gently, softly placing my lips on his and feeling that jolt shoot through my body. “Stop,” he says feebly. “Or this,” I say, my voice turning husky as I move my hands down to his hips and place a tender kiss on his neck, feeling his pulse pounding beneath my lips. “Sebastian…” he chokes out. “Push me away if you want me to stop,” I tell him, squeezing his hips firmly as I crash my lips down on his. ~~~~~ A Queen Among Tides is the 5th book in the Queen Among series.

The last thing I want is this wonderful creature dying for me. “Death is easy. It's brief and over in an instant, but living? Living is hard and living for eternity is even harder,” she says as she gets up and comes to stand in front of me, “So no, I won't die for you… I'd live for you.” Her eyes look up at me with such clarity and devotion and I feel myself getting lost in them as I stare at her at a loss for words. ~~~~~ A Queen Among Blood is the 3rd book in the Queen Among series.

“You know what I think? I think you’re just fucking scared,” he spits, tightening his grip around my throat, making my head feel a little heavy. I keep myself composed and quirk my eyebrow, “Enlighten me. How am I scared?” “You feel something for me and that terrifies you. You can pretend there isn’t something between us, but I know you feel it too,” he says, his tone softening as he runs the pad of his thumb along my jawline. He dips his head down and places a gentle kiss on the corner of my mouth, trailing his lips down my jaw to my ear. The feel of his lips on my skin causes the muscles between my thighs to clench with need and my panties to become damp. “Alec?” I whisper as he softly trails his nose down my neck. “Hmm?” He hums as he kisses under my collarbone hitting my sweet spot. But I suppress the shudder threatening to ripple through me. With minimal pressure, I punch him right in the windpipe and watch as he hunches over, clutching his throat as he struggles to get air. I take a step forward and fist his hair, yanking his thick hair back, and looking into his tear-filled eyes. “I admit the sex has been good, but don’t go mistaking sex for love like some love-sick teenage girl. Just because I let you touch me, doesn’t mean you have power over me. The fact I let you touch me at all should tell you how little power you actually have because if I didn’t want you touching me, this is how you would end up; tears in your eyes as you gasp for air. You’re only alive because I haven’t decided to kill you yet. So before you go thinking you have some sexual hold over me, think again,” I say, tossing him away and leaving the room. ~~~~~ Descended from two lines of assassins, Alina Istrati is one of the most prolific assassins in the world.
