For over 300 years, I’ve waited for fate to deliver my soul mate; the person I’d love for the rest of my life; the one I was destined to protect, to treasure and to cherish. The one to complete me. I never expected to find him dancing like an angel in my nightclub. The moment my eyes gazed upon his beauty, my heart was gone. The most mesmerizing thing about him were his eyes; he had the biggest, roundest doe eyes I’d ever seen. They were an enchanting shade of blue; the exact color of the Mediterranean Sea. When I looked into those eyes, I was home.

Lately, I’ve been feeling restless. My best friends are happily mated and constantly loving all over each other. While I’m happy for them, I also can’t help but be a little jealous. It’s a foreign feeling for me; I’ve never been interested in a relationship, since all of my adult life has been about the next hookup with whatever man was in front of me at the time. But lately, hookups just haven’t hit the spot (heh—that sounds dirty). Eager for a change of scenery, I accompany my friends to Spain for the feast being held in honor of Dante and Ben’s marriage.

For 328 years, my soul has ached, calling out for its fated match. I yearn for the one who will complete me; the one I can protect, love, honor, and cherish for all time. Of all the many ways I imagined I would meet my soul mate, finding him selling his body in a dank alleyway wasn’t one of them. He was underfed, mistreated, and terrified. He was in need of my love and care, for me to show him his worth and grant him a new life of luxury. But can he learn to trust me? Can I protect him from the demons that follow him? Can he accept me for what I am?

Long gone are the days of war, when I raised my sword and fought alongside my people, against wicked, greedy souls of our vampire kind. We were victorious over those who stood against us, and King Felipe took his rightful spot on the throne. He appointed a Coven Master for each region to watch over, guide, and protect our people. He named me Coven Master of my hometown of Beckenridge, Scotland, because of my strength, instincts, and fairness.

I grew up being told how wonderful it will be once I find my true mate. How everything will fall into place and we'll be inseparable. When I see him for the first time, that's exactly how it feels: wonderful. I wait, day after day, for him to gain the courage to approach me as girls fawn over him. Until the day everything changes and he finally claims me. Except he doesn't. He leaves me wrecked and half-dressed in a broom closet, leaving me no choice but to hide until darkness falls so I can escape to the only safe place for rejected mates like me: the shelter.

Life has not been easy for Taylor Greer. Born queer and intersex to a Southern Baptist preacher, they left home at fifteen to escape conversation therapy masquerading as a “Christian summer camp.” After surviving four years on the unforgiving streets of Boston, they struggle to get their life back on track for a chance at a better future. Working two jobs to stay afloat and studying every spare minute to pass their GED exam, Taylor has little time for a social life, let alone a love life. But who needs romance when living is this complicated?

Lachlan is a vampire of many layers. He has the body and soul of a warrior, but a kind, loving heart. He is fiercely loyal to his Coven Master and best friend Callum (to whom he’s second in command), and to his people. Lach owns and runs a bakery in the village, working alone to feed the coven a variety of delicious sweeties. But he’s tired of being alone, especially when it comes to his personal life. He’s so happy for Callum and the love he shares with his mate Brodie, but yearning burns inside him to find his own perfect mate.

Archie is a fox shifter who has only ever known a wild life of living off the land, as he's forbidden to pass boundaries set by his Alpha. He's never been valued or appreciated, all because of birthright and ignorance. He's been tossed aside by his family and used by his skulk until he can no longer see his own worth. But with Fate's intervention, a little luck, and a lot of bravery, Archie finds a new life filled with friends, comfort, and a perfect mate.

Cedric was thrown away by his family on his 18th birthday because of his omega status. He isn't as strong or quick as other lion shifters, and was therefore seen as useless by his old pride. He may also bear children, which his family saw as a crime against nature. When he was cast out, he found a new family made up of a ragtag group of men who were all shunned by their old prides, but who loved each other fiercely.

Grady has watched as each member of his pride has found their mate. And while the sweet soul is overflowing with happiness for his friends, he longs to also experience it for himself. The gentle giant craves a connection with his beloved; to spend eternity protecting, nurturing, and loving his perfect match. Cast aside, lost, and confused, Quinn has always felt as if he were searching for his place in this world. He wonders if his inner shine is forever hidden, but a flicker of hope continues to burn within.

Twin lion shifters Felix and Enzo have always known that sharing a mate was a possibility. A probability even, as they’ve never been strangers to sharing a man.

Lance thought he'd found the man he would spend his life with, only to get burned in the end. In order to protect his heart and his son Brady, he decided to swear off men for good, and focus on being the best dad he could be. But just when he least expects it, temptation comes strolling in with a pair of intense golden eyes that capture Lance's attention and crumbles his resolve. A man named Hunter won't give up when it comes to winning Lance's heart, and the way Hunter accepts Brady may just have Lance ready to give into temptation after all.
