Crescent Lake Novellas

The Alpha's Chosen Mate

All her life, Emily Parisi has been told she’s weak. Wolfless. Nothing. As her eighteenth birthday draws closer, she concocts a plan to escape her cruel alpha and make a new home for herself far away from Lupine River, the pack she grew up in.

Harrison Stone—future alpha of Crescent Lake—knows Emily wants to escape her pack. He knows if she does, she’ll run far away and he’ll never see her again. He has a better option for her: join his pack.

After her birthday, they learn the cruelty of Emily’s current alpha runs deeper than either of them thought possible. Now, Harrison must help her through her trauma and show her she’s more than she ever realized—stronger, braver, and certainly not wolfless.

But as the years pass, they’re faced with new challenges: their growing feelings for each other and the looming possibility that they’re not mates. Because while they believe they’re meant for each other, fate may not agree.

 

The Alpha's Chosen Mate is a prequel novella to the Crescent Lake series, but you do not need to read the main series to enjoy this slow burn, friends to lovers, surprise pregnancy werewolf romance. Told through glimpses of the past, this novella follows Harrison and Emily, detailing how they met, became friends, fell in love, and eventually became chosen mates. It is an emotional, sweet, and spicy read that is sure to have you crying, screaming, laughing, and swooning in equal measure.

The Vampire's Ballerina

Principal ballerina Imogen Van der Berg has everything she’s dreamed of since she was a little girl: beautiful costumes, adoring fans, and a life in the spotlight. Even with all that, there’s still something missing in her life, something she’s not sure she deserves—love. And not just any kind of love. Imogen yearns for a deep, true love that will echo through the ages. But Peter—the vampire her heart longs for—is also her boss.

A vampire needs human blood to survive, unless they find their soulmate. Peter has known Imogen belongs to him since the day they met. In order to mark her as his mate, he must change her into a vampire too, forcing her into hiding until she’s adjusted to her new abilities. But can he ask her to give up her life and her career to spend the rest of her days with him?

A passion-filled rehearsal leads to a kiss, and they both find they can no longer stay away from each other. Now, Imogen faces a choice: humanity or eternity.
