Mori's Mementos Series by Maggie Hemlock, Avery Hemlock

Some wounds never heal. They pass down through the generations like sap running down tree bark. As much as I deny it, I know I’m not different. It doesn’t matter which side of my family you look at – trouble, trouble, and more trouble. I’ll avoid setting my true-mate’s life on fire at any cost. At least, I thought I would, but Pierce is determined to see this through to the end. My only hope is that I’m not the end of him. Crilus moved across the Atlantic to practice magic on his own terms... moreSome wounds never heal. They pass down through the generations like sap running down tree bark.

At least, I thought I would, but Pierce is determined to see this through to the end. My only hope is that I’m not the end of him. Crilus moved across the Atlantic to practice magic on his own terms. If he has to carry around the stigma of his not-so-distant ancestors, why shouldn’t he reap the rewards of the magic he inherited from them? Only now, it looks like the magic he practices above his bar in secret might be coming back to bite him, or is it? When the bar is assaulted, he and both of his cousins are home. Below them is the bartender and patrons. Is someone really coming after him? It doesn’t matter who they’re after. His bar was attacked, and it was his shields that were rocked by the assault. Things turn from scary to messy when the powers that be insist that he and his cousins need a guard. What a night to meet his true-mate! Not that any time would’ve been good with how couples in his family tree had imploded. Will Crilus and the vampire alpha he’s destined to spend the rest of his life with be able to work together with the others to figure out who’s out to get who? Or will their complicated mateship be too much for them? less

He knows that it might not happen with his ex’s crazy mum running around screaming about human sacrifices but he’s gonna try. His twin is coming home for the holiday but per usual, fate won’t leave him alone. Along with the cold, fate blows in Wess, the Snow Demon alpha, whose location was revealed to the whole Hemlock Wolf Pack for a ceremony that didn’t even work. Now, Wess is off to participate in a holiday match making event to get away from the annoyance that fame brings.

Not that he likes to talk about his visions of true-mates cuddled up by cozy fires or dancing the night away. Wess just wants a quiet life. This winter, fate will bring them together not for a quiet little Yuletide but for stalkers, break-ins, and maybe a tour through a pretty ice garden. With everything on the line will the pair be able to outsmart those who would be happy to see Preston’s firstborn ripped from his arms while they’re navigating the growth of their family and the changes occurring within themselves? less

Alpha bear, Jeth, has never been on a sea journey, but when he’s asked to come to the aid of an orphaned dragon egg, he’s honor bound and ready for the adventure. What he hadn’t planned for was his true-mate sweeping down from the sky and flying off with him. The sky and sea may share a border, but it wasn’t one Jeth knew could be crossed so quick and seamlessly. The Nightshade Bear guard is really in over his head with this one... moreAlpha bear, Jeth, has never been on a sea journey, but when he’s asked to come to the aid of an orphaned dragon egg, he’s honor bound and ready for the adventure. What he hadn’t planned for was his true-mate sweeping down from the sky and flying off with him. The sky and sea may share a border, but it wasn’t one Jeth knew could be crossed so quick and seamlessly. The Nightshade Bear guard is really in over his head with this one. Omega phoenix, Zovin, hasn’t ventured out of the nesting grounds in a long time. He’s barely graced the skies of Earthside when the leaders of the Moonscale Dragon Flight ask him to accompany a ship across the Atlantic with the most precious cargo – an orphaned dragon egg who is to be brought home to its only living relatives. His flock values eggs and the lives of their young over all else because the future unfolds from them. So, Zovin shifts into his bird form and doesn’t plan on coming out until he’s back in London. Only fate has other plans when he catches a whiff of a bear on a dock – and for the love of feathers – that is HIS bear. Neither of the men are willing to abandon their mission but will they be able to balance the egg’s safety with their own burning passion or will the sea claim them as its prize? less
