Ruby Thorne can’t think of a better time of year to come back for good and open the health clinic she’s been planning for the last six years. Her connection to the town and its veins of magic have snapped back into place, flooding her with a power eager to jump to her call. She has a sense of rightness. This witch is exactly where she’s supposed to be. So it’s not much of a surprise that he comes back into her path just like he was meant to… Damon Dooley has spent the last few years learning how to run the pack at his older brother’s right hand. There’s been upheaval. Outrage. Violence. Old rules have created a silence so crushing it’s collapsed the fabric of not just the wolf shifters, but the town as a whole. And yet, Ruby has returned. Man and wolf agree she needs to be in their life regularly, and before long, things move from serious to something magically deeper. Bound to one another heart and soul, both committed to what’s best for Diablo Lake, Ruby backs Damon as he pushes for much-needed change. But when something falls into Ruby’s lap and she learns the whole, terrible truth, secrets need to be spilled. How—and by whom—becomes the only question.

Moon Struck Three years ago, Katie Faith Grady left Diablo Lake, heartbroken and humiliated by a man who didn’t deserve her in the first place. Her return—to help run her family’s soda fountain while her dad recovers from a heart attack—awakens the powerful magic that is her birthright. It also puts her directly in the path of a certain werewolf she’s never been able to forget. Deputy Jace Dooley is a lot of things: alpha wolf, former bad boy, excellent mechanic. His new role of neighbor to the beautiful witch he’s been in love with since forever is a welcome plot twist…but Jace’s chief instinct is to protect. And a witch with as much raw power as Katie won’t be claimed on anyone’s terms but her own. Protected The powerful witches of Diablo Lake are taking back control. No longer will they be pawns in the town’s misguided power plays. Chosen to lead the charge, Aimee Benton can’t possibly fall for a werewolf—especially a Pack Alpha. Problem is, Mac Pembry is as irresistible as he is infuriating. One touch of Aimee’s powerful magic and Mac immediately needs more. Not only is his witch incredibly smart, but her quiet strength and empathetic heart soothe both wolf and man. But when the Pembry pack breaks a sacred law, Aimee shuts him out. This time the wolves have gone too far. A war is brewing in Diablo Lake, and the balance of magic that sustains the town might be lost forever… Awakened Ruby Thorne can’t think of a better time of year to come back for good and open the health clinic she’s been planning for the last six years.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane welcomes you back to Diablo Lake, Tennessee: a town founded by witches, governed by werewolves and full of secrets Tensions are building in Diablo Lake as the two main rival Packs vie for control, and the town is divided along lines of Pack loyalty. Aimee Benton and Mac Pembry are on opposite sides and he seems to find excuses to spar with her daily. He's infuriating—not to mention charming, gorgeous and oh-so-lickable. Mac can't resist pushing Aimee's buttons. She's always been incredibly sexy, and the wolf in him craves a female with fire in her belly. When a heated argument ends with a sizzling kiss and Mac gets a taste of her, he craves more—and she can't seem to get enough of him, either. The forbidden nature of their attraction stokes their desires until they're secretly hooking up whenever they can. But then Mac's clan goes too far, and Aimee shuts him out. She's hurt and angry—but that's nothing compared to the rage Mac is feeling toward his own Pack.

The organization that gave her a purpose, a home, roots and a path when she’d run from The Keep at seventeen has betrayed her. Now, instead of on a much-anticipated honeymoon, Rowan is in London gathering her allies and the evidence necessary to drive out the rot within Hunter Corp. and expose whoever is at the top. Rowan is a predator and this threat is prey. She’ll burn it down and salt the earth afterward. On her terms.
