Love and the hurt that comes with it has no place in his world...until he receives new orders: rescue female werewolf Ava Renfroe from a pack of rogue wolves. Bartender Ava Renfroe is tired of alpha males running her life. Being raised as the daughter of a military general made her want independence more than air - and she has it! Until she’s kidnapped.

On the run from the rogues, Ava and Damon can’t ignore the red-hot passion between them. But Damon knows it can’t last. Will he sacrifice everything he’s ever known to have the one thing he’s never meant to have? Or will the war between the packs destroy them before love is given a chance?

Desires of a Full Moon Werewolf Jayden Parker tried to leave his personal demons behind in Louisiana when he joined the guardians in the Arkansas pack.

The Heirs of Earth
Summary
We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home. Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars. Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere. So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream. Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth. And for the first time, we have hope. A few of us, just a handful of brave souls, form the Heirs of Earth. We are humans who stand tall. Who fight back. Aliens call us terrorists. The humans we save call us heroes. We have starships, weapons, and warriors. We can bring humanity home. Earth is far. We have not seen her in many generations. But we have not forgotten. Earth is our heritage. Earth is our birthright. We will return!
