Mina Carter Short Stories/Novellas

In a world run by magic, she’s powerless… Lyssa is a warden without magic, a null. In a society where magic is everything, she is considered less than human. Shunned and exiled, she lives outside the Havens as a normal where no one judges her. She thinks she’s left her old life behind, until an injured Warrior mistakes her for a full Warden and claims sanctuary. Can she fool him, just for a night? Hawk is a warrior, one with many years of tracking and killing the various nasties that hide in the darkness, but he’s not invincible, even though he’d like to think he is. Injured and out of options, he stumbles into a diner only to find salvation in the form of a short, curvy warden. But she claims to know nothing of magic, a claim that makes no sense when another spell-slinger tries to kill them both. With a warden execution squad on their tails, can Hawk convince his little warden she’s not as helpless as she thinks… AND keep his hands off her at the same time? Can he be her knight in shining armor and walk away? Or will he give into the need to claim her as his own? **Publishers note: This title has previously been released with another publisher**

It's never easy staying ahead of the pack, but for Penny, it might just save her life… Since ditching her pack after an offer she “couldn't” refuse from her tyrannical pack alpha, Penny’s been on the run. Always on the move, she never stays in one place for long, avoiding other werewolves like the plague. As the full moon approaches, this one brings with it her toughest challenge yet—her heat phase. And so, rather than letting her animal instincts rule, to force her to bed the first man she comes across, Penny hatches a plan that involves a basement and chains, but sadly, the non-kinky kind. But lone wolf Cade Steele has other ideas. He's watched Penny from afar since she was turned, and now that he's found her, he's determined not to let the little she-wolf face her heat on her own. Cade is wolf enough to match her animal instinct, and alpha enough to claim her. As his mate, her body may become part of his territory, but her heart would be an altogether different matter. When Penny’s past finally catches up with her, her ex-alpha isn't taking no for an answer this time. The question is, with their lives on the line, can Penny and Cade answer the call of the wild?
