It is recommended that you read the Asphalt Bay books and the other two Venetian Hills books before reading this one as this story takes place in the timeline of Asphalt Bay Book Six.) Negan Verona is a wolf shifter and the beta of the Venetian Hills Pack. He’s been Joel McCray’s second in command since before the alpha moved his pack to Venetian Hills. While Negan loves the pack and doing his job to aid in the rescue of captive shifters, something is missing. Something important. Something Negan will never have again. Or so he thinks. After an incident in a lab has Negan taking a step back from the front lines and focusing more on the planning side of things, Joel’s mate calls in reinforcements. Leland Voss is a vampire who works as an enforcer for the council. When he hears of the threat his home coven is facing from Master Alistair, he jumps at the chance to go home and see if he can lend a hand. He doesn’t expect to be thrust into the middle of the fight as soon as he arrives, but he welcomes it because one thing is obvious about Leland, he loves the thrill of a good fight. What he doesn’t expect when he returns home, is to find his beloved in the form of a beautiful wolf with haunted eyes. Negan is thrilled he’s getting a second chance to have a fated mate of his own and is determined not to let anything get in the way of his claiming. But, sometimes, life just gets in the way, or in this case, war. Still reeling from his last incident, Negan is hesitant about setting foot inside of a lab again, but with his mate putting his life on the line, Negan will do just about anything to keep from losing Leland. Even if it means facing his fears. (Warning: Contains sexual content, and explicit language. Not recommended for those under the age of 18.) less

Kuro Delane is a panther shifter and the head tracker for the Venetian Hills pack. He’s also an assassin who only works for victims to get justice when the system fails them. What no one knows is that Kuro wasn’t always the person he is today. At one point in time, he was fun loving with dreams of becoming an artist. That was, until an act of violence by the one person who was supposed to love and protect him above all others, snuffed out the light within him and his passion for art along with it. For years, Benji DeRozan, -a cougar shifter- has regretted his choice to succumb to peer pressure instead of protecting his friend. Nothing made him regret his choices more, than finding out his friend had disappeared with no word as to where he was going. So, without any other options, Benji started searching for any sign of Kuro. He wanted the chance to apologize, even if it meant taking a beating but before Benji could get close to finding answers, he was kidnapped and tossed into a lab to be experimented on. Kuro decided a long time ago that he’d never forgive Benji and the other men who harmed him, but when Benji is discovered in a lab with other paranormals, Kuro offers to help Benji get better. Benji has his work cut out for him if he wants to earn Kuro’s forgiveness. The question is, will he succeed or will Kuro’s attitude cause Benji to give up on ever making things, right?

Belial is the captain of an investigative special-ops team that works for the Paranormal Council and one of the seven princes of Hell. His team has been working to track down and dismantle Carmine Verucci’s labs alongside the Asphalt Bay Pack and the Venetian Hills Pack and Coven. With Carmine Verucci dead and his accomplices either dead or captured, Belial and his team have been given some much-needed time off. Time Belial plans to spend wooing the men he suspects may be his mates. But, he’ll have to wait until one of them recovers from injuries sustained in battle before he can pursue either of them. Ajax Chinix and Coal Phoenix are phoenix shifters looking for their third. Ajax is an ice phoenix while Coal is a fire phoenix. Leaving home to search for their third was their only option since no one in any of the phoenix clans were meant to be theirs. Much to their families’ disappointment. After being captured and locked away in a lab the two are hesitant to leave pack lands in order to restart their search now that they’re free. When Ajax is injured during the battle with the dark coven and a demon jumps in to help, Coal realizes their search is over. However, with Ajax on a long road to recovery, Coal’s focus isn’t on the demon meant to be the final piece to their mating puzzle but is instead on the man he loves. When someone from the phoenixes’ past shows up in Venetian Hills looking to claim what isn’t theirs Belial will stop at nothing to make sure that doesn’t happen. Will he succeed in protecting what’s his or will he die trying? ( Contains explicit language, mpreg elements, and graphic sexual content. Not recommended for those under the age of 18.) Reading 1.
