In the heart of the modern Highlands, three irresistible alphas and one fiery omega discover a love that defies tradition—because some hearts aren’t meant to choose.

This guide asks and answers all the essential questions, such as: Should I have an unmedicated or drugged-out birth? (Up to you!) Will I have time to pee as a new mom? (Maybe!) How do I avoid hating my partner? (That's more complicated.)

She thought she was signing up for luxury—but she didn’t know she’d be signing her body away to monsters. Juliette I was broke, burned out, and ready to disappear when The Velvet Circle found me. They promised security, pleasure, and two elite patrons who wanted me exclusively. I thought it would be a dream—until I met Theo and Kai. Towering, horned, and terrifyingly powerful, they don’t just want to keep me. They want to own me. Touch me. Train me. Break me open and put me back together as theirs. I should’ve walked away.

She came to steal fuel and spark revolution—she didn't plan to fall into the warlord’s cage… or his heat.

I had a fling with my Billionaire enemy and now I have to pretend he’s my boyfriend. The only problem is, this filthy rich hottie is an informant for the FBI.

She agreed to be trained. She didn’t expect to crave the collar. Kessa I was offered a place in the court, a future, a purpose. All I had to do was obey.

Uthgar Kessa is wild. Proud. Unbroken. She is the most dangerous thing I’ve ever been told to train—and the ...

That the other Alphas would tear me apart if he...

Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and 100 percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy - who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend's old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn't feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voice mail.

It is not just a bodily process, she argues, but an active work of care - one that underscores the generosity and mutual dependence we all require in order to live.
