Welcome to the True Mates series — a trilogy of connected stories filled with supernatural beasts, action, suspense, romance, mystery, drama, and spice. Each story in this series focuses on two unique characters and their journey to finding their true mate and happily ever after. Like most journeys, some are easier than others, but all face bumps in the road along the way. Some characters you’ll love, and others you’ll love to hate (and maybe learn to like in the end... or not). _____ Book 1 Quarantined with a Beast What if the beasts you wrote about were real? If they were knocking at your door, would you let them in? During a pandemic, Gracie is told to quarantine herself for two weeks. She thought spending her quarantine time out at her cabin, alone in the middle of nowhere, would be just the break she needed to get her steamy werewolf novel written. But Gracie might not be as alone as she thought. Will Gracie and her sanity survive two weeks at the cabin? Will she fall prey to the beasts scratching at her door? Will they stake their claim on her body, mind, and soul? _____ Book 2 Taken by a Beast He thinks women can't be trusted. She thinks mates aren't all they're cracked up to be. But when Zach meets his true mate, Bianca, he can't resist the need to haul her home with him, taking her away from everyone and everything she knows. Everything goes downhill from there. Bianca’s only ever known life with humans and now she's forced to live in a remote community full of shifters — as their alpha female. She struggles to adjust to her new life with a sexy mate who wants nothing to do with her. But she's not one to back down from a challenge, and by the time she's done, the pack will be hers and the alpha will be begging her to claim him. * This story is the bumpiest ride on the journey to happily ever after in this series, but this couple eventually gets to their destination. Taken by a Beast ends on a cliff-hanger with everything wrapped up in the next/final book in this series (Hunted by a Beast). _____ Book 3 Hunted by a Beast She's a fierce warrior, and he’s a pain in her… everything. Kaetlyn, is a fierce grizzly shifter who was rescued and adopted as a cub by a pack led by an alpha male wolf-shifter. Being the last of her kind and growing up under the thumb of an alpha with old, misogynistic beliefs made her turn her nose at the idea of having a mate. The mated pairs she knows have done little make her want to risk her independence. But her bear has other thoughts. Particularly when it comes to a certain burly wolf shifter named Angus, who refuses to leave her alone. Kaetlyn has other problems she needs to focus on besides the idiot following her around like a lost puppy. Their pack has been a mess since the arrival of their alpha female, and it's taking a toll on her bear's patience. Then someone takes advantage of the chaos and attacks the community, resulting in more new visitors, revelations, and chaos Kaetlyn isn’t prepared for. No, now's not the time for Kaetlyn to give into her bear's desires. Or is it the perfect time for just a taste of what her bear wants? ___ ⚠️ This is not a series for children.

Get the three books of the A Place Called Home western romance series here in one volume! Far Hills Ranch has bound together the Susland family for nearly a century and a half. For just as long, there’s been a legend that the ranch and its family are cursed. Now, says the legend, the current generation is the last with a chance to break the curse. BOOK 1: LOST AND FOUND GROOM A stranger rescues her, then disappears when she needs him most. Until he knocks on her door, years later and half a world away... On assignment in distant Santa Estella, hardheaded journalist Kendra Jenner finds herself in the middle of a vicious hurricane . . . and unexpectedly in the arms of a stranger who speaks virtually no English. Fear leads to passion that months later leads to a baby, which Kendra fully expects to raise on her own, since her search for the father is a fruitless one. Three years later, "Paulo" shows up at her Wyoming home, identifying himself as Daniel Delligati. He says he's come for his son -- and for her. BOOK 2: AT THE HEART’S COMMAND The Army's sending him back to the western life he knew as a boy, the world of cowboys and cattle on Far Hills Ranch ... and back to the love he knew as a boy. But how can he even dream of second chances at love, when they should have no chance at all. Colonel John Griffin Jr. is the best kind of military man. He's a good and honorable soldier who's determined to protect Ellyn Sinclair at all costs – especially from himself. Once, he’d rejected a young Ellyn’s advances, because he could not give her the life she deserved. Instead, Grif stood up as best man when Ellyn married his best friend. He became a member of the family, a safe friend to her, the godfather of her children. But Ellyn is a widow now, back in Far Hills, Wyoming, living on his family's ranch there with her two young children, and struggling as a single parent to give her children what they need.

But from the first moment, she finds Far Hills Ranch foreman Luke Chandler hard to miss. The sexy cowboy, with those sleepy eyes that aren't interested in sleeping, means just the sort of trouble her patrician grandmother has always warned her about. Luke has his own reasons for wanting to steer clear of anything like commitment. But the secrets behind Rebecca’s dark eyes keep luring him on … even if it means baring his own heart.
