Devil's Lair
Summary
Live-in tutor wanted for four-year-old. Must be willing to relocate to a remote mountain estate. $3K/week cash. On the run from ruthless killers, I’m down to 10 bucks in my wallet and a half-tank of gas in my ancient car when I spot the ad. The job sounds like the answer to my prayers, but there’s a catch. The child’s father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I’ve ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is a tantalizing mystery, a lethally alluring contradiction. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises - my new employer draws me in like a magnet, even as my instincts scream for me to run. I should’ve heeded them...because I’m not the only one with secrets. My safe haven just might be the devil’s lair, and once he’s claimed me, it will be too late to run.

Feral
Summary
I never wanted a mate. Until I was put in chains. Strapped down. And claimed. I always believed I could analyze any situation until I found a solution. Solve any problem if I just applied my brain. I went to university, studied science and told myself my academic cocoon would protect me from the alphas dominating our society. I was wrong. No textbook prepared me for my meeting with test subject 351. The biggest, scariest alpha on death row, hauled into my lab to uncover how to control the beast of a man. How to make him submit. Mold him into a weapon. But there is no controlling the feral alpha, and no logic strong enough to save my mind once he unleashes his fury on my body. Once he claims me. Feral is the second book in Nora Ash’s suspense-filled Omegaverse series, Alpha Ties. Each book is a full-length novel with a complete romance storyline. This series gets dark, and it gets dirty. If you don’t enjoy your romance scorching and your alphas rough and dominant, give this book a pass. Please note: This book is the compiled version of Nora's previously published Omegaverse serial, Feral. It contains the installments Feral: Obsession, Feral: Despair, and Feral: Torment.
