Belfield for LESS than the individual titles ... Seven alpha wolves. Not brothers by blood, but brothers by nature. When Jem Stonehouse reunites with the Alpha’s son, Sean, she has no idea just what she is taking on. And the pack has no idea just how many lives will need to be taken, when they accept Jem into their fold and agree to protect her. CALLED Jem Stonehouse dreams of running free. She closes her eyes on her mundane life as a suburban housewife and is whisked to a realm where she races through trees under the silvery glow of moonlight. Jem shrugs it off as overactive imagination, until a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger leaves her wondering if there’s more to it than that. Sean Holloway’s inner wolf recognizes Jem the second he catches her scent. With a single glance, he knows her to be the woman that comes to him in his dreams. While the two have never met—in this lifetime, at least—the bond he feels for her is intimate and unbreakable. But when their dream encounters become reality, a series of events is set in motion. Apart, the two are safe. Together, they awaken a centuries-old rivalry that could cost them their lives. With history repeating itself, Sean must teach Jem who and what she truly is. Their survival depends on her embracing her heritage and fighting alongside him. Can Jem stand firm in the call of destiny, or are her instincts buried far too deep? LURED Someone is watching the Holloway Pack, and this time, the female isn’t the target. Life with a group of seven male werewolves worries Jem Stonehouse not one bit. She is engaged to the Alpha’s son Sean Holloway after all. So what has Jem’s territorial instincts on high alert? The pack’s latest addition. Both of them. None of the men think there’s a problem with the new girlfriends. Jem’s intuition tells her otherwise—that and a nagging suspicion the new females aren’t there to partake. Jem believes they’ve joined in to take. The question is … What? As the eve of the blue moon draws ever closer, Jem’s running out of time to find the answer and outwit a thief of the worst possible kind. A woman who believes she can’t lose. CAGED If the meek can become deadly, the strongest can be weak. For Ethan Holloway, his mission to find a missing werewolf should be simple. Crack a few heads, bust a few chops and the solution always reveals itself. Always. Not this time. Ethan’s reputation precedes him, and because it does, someone is ready. Waiting. Unbeknownst to Ethan, he’s about to go down. Hard. Against a foe he never suspected and in a world he never imagined could be real. What awaits Ethan is a fight not only for his reputation, but also his pack, his female, and his life. If he survives, damage control will become priority number one. If he survives. Because even Ethan’s not sure he’s strong enough to take on an entire race all by himself. Especially one hell bent on exposing who and what he is in the name of sport. ~~~~~ KEYWORDS: enemies to lovers romance, happily ever after, urban fantasy novels, paranormal novels, series starter, series books, no cliffhanger, sexually romantic novels, werewolf novels, werewolf romance novel, werewolf mates, mated werewolves, romance novels, second in series, series novels, werewolf novels, witch novels, witch books, witch romance novels, werewolves and witches, paranormal romance novels, Christmas novels, reunited mates, mated werewolves, saved by the female, alpha males, family drama, pack drama, happy ever after, HEA, happily ever after, third in series, alpha males, action novels, fight club, shifter novels, vampire novels, hot alpha male, kidnap, new lovers, friends to lovers, british werewolf novels, romantic novel ~~~~~ If you're a fan of K.F.
