The ultimate battle starts now! For four thousand years, creatus have hidden their existence, believing their strength and diet would frighten humans into hunting them to extinction. But now a faction of militaristic creatus has a weapon, a breed of creatus so fierce that its legacy of death and destruction has fed nightmares for millennia. Unwilling to be a pawn, Vev moved her family so the youngest members won’t be a danger to humans or used by rogue creatus. But she’s lonely. Her heart belongs to a man who shattered it. As much as she wants to mend her heart and be with Arthur again, she must train the young creatus. Wanting to see Arthur and prove she can move on, Vev sneaks into town only to learn of the new threat. With the strange venom running through her blood, Vev alone has the power to stop the new breed—by creating an army of creatus capable of protecting humans from annihilation. But sometimes you can’t control what you create. What readers are saying about the Creatus series: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This story is completely unique, and is definitely not generic sex and vampires. In fact, I think Creatus will redefine the paranormal genre. Creatus has intrigue, suspense, romance, and tremendous depth." – Goodreads (Creatus) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book could easily classify itself as romance / mystery / suspense / thriller... I'm not a big Twilight fan, but I did enjoy the first movie... I found Creatus reminding me somewhat of Twilight, but with actors I loved." -- New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Linda S. Prather (Creatus) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "There are twists and turns in the rogue plot that started in the first book, Creatus, along with revelations…" – New York Times bestselling author Jaime Rush (Creatus Rogue) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "One of my favorite things about this book and the series in general is that it's written in a way that feels entirely plausible. The explanations and the science all make sense. We could very well have a race of people called Creatus blending in with us average humans." – Goodreads (Creatus Talis) The Creatus series is based on the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe!

Secrets… Daire Belgarde knows that Alaska is the hiding place of the nation. Nearly everyone who moves to The Last Frontier is running from someone or hiding something. Even his family, who was born here, isn't exempt. As the youngest Belgarde brother, Daire has witnessed his share of revelations. With all the skeletons that have already escaped their closets, he would have thought that his family would be an open book. Nope! His very identity is the best kept mystery of all. And now, Daire has another secret. He’s in love with his boss. Falling in love with a coworker is never smart; when she’s your direct supervisor, it’s downright foolhardy. But it’s happened, and now he has to hide his feelings since he practically lives with her—well, at least for their 24-hour shifts. During his agonizing days off, Daire fills his time working search-and-rescue with his Midnight Sons brothers, so he won’t go nuts waiting to see Silvia again. Over the last few weeks, it has gotten worse, though, because it’s clear the woman he loves is also keeping a secret. After almost dying at age sixteen, Silvia was determined to become a rescue worker. By moving to Alaska to pursue her goal, she was able to leave behind her past—good and bad. She had to abandon her beloved mother and sister, the home she loved, and most importantly, her identity. Her greatest fear is that her past will catch up to her. She knows that fact as sure as she knows she can’t act on her feelings for her coworker Daire. She can’t bring anyone else into her nightmare.

To be the hero he once was, he needs to save her... Alex Belgarde has carried the culpability of his father’s death for more than ten years. Every year, as his family’s company falls deeper into debt, the guilt eats away more of his soul until there’s only one answer. Prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his father’s legacy, Alex takes off on a frigid winter day with no radio and very little fuel in his seaplane. He’s using up the last of his reserve tank, preparing to drop from the sky, when he sees plane wreckage below. Irene Rose has spent her life chasing her dream. But after a possible terminal diagnosis, she realizes how lonely her life has become and is ready to forgive her sister and beg for her family’s forgiveness. Instead of arriving on the island of her birth, Irene finds herself stranded in the Alaskan wilderness. Unbeknownst to her, the pilot for the plane she chartered was a drug runner, so he didn’t alert authorities as they crashed. While Alex’s illogical idea to save his father’s company is thwarted because of his obligation to help others, he finds purpose in offering aid to the beautiful and intelligent Irene. The attraction is mutual until Irene persuades Alex to tell her the real reason he can’t simply fly them to safety or call for help. Now the two castaways will have to fight the harsh winter elements, as well as the drug smugglers who lost their cargo in the wreck, if they want to make it home alive. Not easy tasks when Irene refuses to trust Alex to get her home safely. She simply can’t get over the fact that as talented, tough, and tantalizing as he is that he was going to throw his life away when hers will probably be cut short. For the first time in his life, Alex will have to face his demons instead of running from them in order to win the girl and prove to himself that he’s a real hero.
