Mate, family, pack, home... can Quinn and Kellan have it all? Quinn grew up feeling out of place in the small town he calls home. Yearning for something he can't name, he's always felt different but never known why. Kellan is part of a nomadic shifter pack. When they set up camp in the woods near Quinn's town, the humans are unwelcoming and suspicious of the newcomers. The moment Kellan catches sight-and scent-of Quinn, he knows Quinn is special. But for the first time in his life, Kellan can't trust his instincts. Quinn is human, and Kellan is a wolf shifter, so how can they ever be mates? Their bond is instant and exhilarating. It breaks Quinn's heart to know their relationship can only be temporary. Love isn't enough when pack law forbids shifters to mate with humans. Tension explodes between pack and humans, and when Quinn discovers a shocking truth about himself that changes everything, he fears he'll have to choose between the only life he's ever known and the man he loves.

Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

In this captivating reinvention of the werewolf novel, S. A. Swann propels readers into the darkest days of the Middle Ages, weaving a rare blend of soaring romance, historical intrigue, paranormal thrills, and spiritual questioning to tell a story that forever changes those who hear it. When a monk inadvertently discovers a lair of werewolf young, he unleashes what will become the Church’s most powerful—and secret—weapon. Clandestinely raised by the Teutonic Order, these lupine creatures serve as instruments of God against pagan unbelievers. Trained to slip into villages cloaked in human form, they are all but unstoppable. Only one, called Lilly, has cunningly fled her brutal master. Uldolf is too young to remember the massacre eight years earlier that claimed his village, his arm, and his kin. But he knows the pain of loneliness. When he sees what appears to be a beautiful young woman, injured and cowering in the woods, he races to her aid. Uldolf and his adoptive family will do anything to protect the terrified girl, but the danger is greater than they can possibly imagine. For death is the only life Lilly has ever known—and if their humanity can’t pierce the darkness Lilly harbors in her soul, they’ll soon come to know it, too.
"Spike looked up at his audience. All of the poodles had watched him begin his feast, but only a few remained now. The rest stood at the water bowls or near the far end of the compound. The terrier licked the last of the blood from his muzzle. 'You poodles don't know what you're missing.'" Meet Spike, a Jack Russell Terrier who thinks he is a wolf; Bull, a half-wolf, half-Rottweiler fight dog who has escaped his tormenting master and reconnected with his wild roots; and Hashi, a beautiful poodle who is focused on winning ribbons, not hearts. "Path of the Wolf" is about a boy and his dog, a dog and the dog of his dreams, and an underdog making it out on top. Can Spike, the wolf-dog, win the heart of his beloved poodle, Hashi, while staying true to his wolf ideals? Can Bull avoid man and still survive in the wild? Will Hashi choose Spike, the wildcard in her life, or the safe and pre-ordained path to victory in the show ring? Forget the furry friends story about dogs and cats. Join Spike and Bull on their hunts; share their kills; watch their fights; and experience their love of life as they follow the "Path of the Wolf."
