  Halt it.

  Prevent it from happening.

  Science isn’t an aid.

  It’s a crutch.

  A weakness.

  An abomination.

  In front of my eyes, the man turns back into the creature. Almost as if his natural form is that creature. The Primal is panting like it took him effort to stay as long as he did in his human form. I furrow my brow as Lord Wesley steps up beside me. I feel Chief graze my arm as we all gaze upon the snarling animal in its cage.

  “Is it possible that is his natural form now?” I ask.

  “If it is, he would be the first of his kind,” Lord Wesley says.

  “Another mutation by the cats,” Chief says.

  “Yes, but to what end? They used Project Eden to try and create more females to mate with, but what would be the purpose of him?”

  The creature’s teeth gnaw at the lead bars, buckling them slightly as saliva drips down its fangs.

  “Evolution happens in stages,” Lord Wesley says. “And to both males and females. What if Project Eden was only the female side of things.”

  The cage rattles, and I watch as the top of the lead encasing dents upward with the force of the creature trying to get out.

  “What if this is the male side of the experiment?” Lord Wesley asks.

  I close my eyes and try to process the theory as anger wells in my gut.

  “We need to talk to the Council,” I say. “Reconvene under emergency circumstances.”

  “I thought we were keeping this from them?” Chief asks.

  “We can’t. If this is connected to Project Eden, we must keep them informed as per the rules of the Council,” I say.

  “I’ll go deliver the message,” Lord Wesley says.

  “I’ll go check on the rebuilding of the main room. If it’s not safe, I’ll find a room off one of the corridors for us to meet,”

  Chief says.

  “And I’m going to stay here and keep rifling through these documents,” I say. “I’ll bring anything of relevance I find.”

  Then, his voice speaks up again. Filling the room with its dominance. Booming with the heart of a Bear and growling with the tone of a Wolf.

  A male hybrid from the DNA of a human.

  The definition of an abomination.

  “Kyle,” the man says breathlessly.

  The three of us look down into his crate as his bright blue eyes come into view.

  “You asked me my name,” he says. “And it’s Kyle.”

  THE END

  Unitary Blurb

  TWO WORLDS. FIVE MEN .

  And one of them still alive.

  Kyle’s survival rocked my world, but the revelation of my pregnancy brings about my worst fears. Indictment into the very prophecy I am running from.

  The Primal Council is fractured. War looms before us. Eradication versus transfiguration, and not one human is safe.

  The Council is preparing for war and I’m carrying a deadly secret. One that threatens to fracture the bond I have with the men around me.

  The Council can’t have me, and no one wants me fighting. The village wants to claim me and the Primals want to protect me.

  I’m torn between two sides, and a choice has to be made.

  Will the Council wipe out the humans? Use their serum to turn them into us?

  We all need answers, but there’s one question I ask myself more than any other. Will my men really force me to choose just one?

  Because I'm honestly not sure I can.

  FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR , Lexy Timms, comes a billionaire romance that'll make you swoon and fall in love all over again.

  Jamie Connors has given up on men. Despite being smart, pretty, and just slightly overweight, she's a magnet for the kind of guys that don't stay around.

  Her sister's wedding is at the foreground of the family's attention. Jamie would be find with it if her sister wasn't pressuring her to lose weight so she'll fit in the maid of honor dress, her mother would get off her case and her ex-boyfriend wasn't about to become her brother-in-law.

  Determined to step out on her own, she accepts a PA position from billionaire Alex Reid. The job includes an apartment on his property and gets her out of living in her parent's basement.

  Jamie has to balance her life and somehow figure out how to manage her billionaire boss, without falling in love with him.

  ** The Boss is book 1 in the Managing the Bosses series. All your questions won't be answered in the first book. It may end on a cliff hanger.

  For mature audiences only. There are adult situations, but this is a love story, NOT erotica.

  FRAGILE TOUCH

  “His body is perfect. He’s got this face that isn’t just heart-melting but actually kind of exotic ...”

  Lillian Warren’s life is just how she’s designed it. She has a high-paying job working with celebrities and the elite, teaching them how to better organize their lives. She’s on her own, the days quiet, but she likes it that way. Especially since she’s still figuring out how to live with her recent diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Her cats keep her company, and she’s not the least bit lonely.

  Fun-loving personal trainer, Cayden, thinks his neighbor is a killjoy. He’s only seen her a few times, and the woman looks like she needs a drink or three. He knows how to party and decides to invite her to over—if he can find her. What better way to impress her than take care of her overgrown yard? She proceeds to thank him by throwing up in his painstakingly-trimmed-to-perfection bushes.

  Something about the fragile, mysterious woman captivates him.

  Something about this rough-on-the-outside bear of a man attracts Lily, despite her heart warning her to tread carefully.

  He groaned. This was torture. Being trapped in a room with a beautiful woman was just about every man’s fantasy, but he had to remember that this was just pretend.

  Allyson Smith has crushed on her boss for years, but never dared to make a move. When she finds herself without a date to her brother’s upcoming wedding, Allyson tells her family one innocent white lie: that she’s been dating her boss. Unfortunately, her boss discovers her lie, and insists on posing as her boyfriend to escort her to the wedding.

  Playboy billionaire Dane Prescott always has a new heiress on his arm, but he can’t get his assistant Allyson out of his head. He’s fought his attraction to her, until he gets caught up in her scheme of a fake relationship.

  One passionate weekend with the boss has Allyson Smith questioning everything she believes in. Falling for a wealthy playboy like Dane is against the rules, but if she’s just faking it what’s the harm?

  USA Today Bestselling Author, Lexy Timms, delivers a beautiful tale about a young man who finds love in the least expected place.

  Bryan McBride is a disappointment to his parents. Doesn’t matter he’s a successful architect and that in his spare time he builds homes for the homeless. His tattoos disrespect his family name, his business partner is too blue collar, too surfer, and Bryan’s brother—who the family never talks about—died from a drug overdose.

  Bryan’s passion for art is rekindled when Hailey Ryan comes into town to open a gallery. Without funds to pay for the construction of the gallery, Bryan offers to work in exchange for some of her artwork.

  He’s caught off guard by the str
ong attraction he has to her.

  It’s the perfect distraction from the issues in his life he wants to avoid. Except secrets have a way of revealing themselves.

  As they begin a passionate love affair, a secret Hailey is keeping threatens to ruin their relationship and possibly their lives.

  Capturing Her Beauty

  Kayla Reid has always been into fashion and everything to do with it. Growing up wasn’t easy for her. A bigger girl trying to squeeze into the fashion world is like trying to suck an entire gelatin mold through a straw; possible, but difficult.

  She found herself an open door as a designer and jumped right in.

  Her designs always made the models smile. The colors, the fabrics, the styles. Never once did she dream of being on the other side of the lens. She got to watch her clothing strut around on others and that was good enough.

  But who says you can’t have a little fun when you’re off the clock?

  Sometimes trying on the latest fashions is just as good as making them. Kayla’s hours in front of the mirror were a guilty pleasure.

  A chance meeting with one of the company photographers may turn into more than just an impromptu photo shoot.

  HOT N' HANDSOME, RICH & Single... how far are you willing to go?

  Meet Alex Reid, CEO of Reid Enterprise. Billionaire extra ordinaire, chiseled to perfection, panty-melter and currently single.

  Learn about Alex Reid before he began Managing the Bosses. Alex Reid sits down for an interview with R&S.

  His life style is like his handsome looks: hard, fast, breath-taking and out to play ball. He's risky, charming and determined.

  How close to the edge is Alex willing to go? Will he stop at nothing to get what he wants?

  Alex Reid is book 1 in the R&S Rich and Single Series. Fall in love with these hot and steamy men; all single, successful, and searching for love.

  Sometimes the heart needs a different kind of saving... find out if Charity Thompson will find a way of saving forever in this hospital setting Best-Selling Romance by Lexy Timms Charity Thompson wants to save the world, one hospital at a time.

  Instead of finishing med school to become a doctor, she chooses a different path and raises money for hospitals – new wings,

  equipment, whatever they need. Except there is one hospital she would be happy to never set foot in again—her fathers. So of course he hires her to create a gala for his sixty-fifth birthday. Charity can’t say no. Now she is working in the one place she doesn’t want to be. Except she’s attracted to Dr.

  Elijah Bennet, the handsome playboy chief.

  Will she ever prove to her father that’s she’s more than a med school dropout? Or will her attraction to Elijah keep her from repairing the one thing she desperately wants to fix?

  Heart of the Battle Series

  In a world plagued with darkness, she would be his salvation.

  No one gave Erik a choice as to whether he would fight or not.

  Duty to the crown belonged to him, his father's legacy remaining beyond the grave.

  Taken by the beauty of the countryside surrounding her, Linzi would do anything to protect her father's land. Britain is under attack and Scotland is next. At a time she should be focused on suitors, the men of her country have gone to war and she's left to stand alone.

  Love will become available, but will passion at the touch of the enemy unravel her strong hold first?

  The Recruiting Trip

  Aspiring college athlete Aileen Nessa is finding the recruiting process beyond daunting. Being ranked #10 in the world for the 100m hurdles at the age of eighteen is not a fluke, even though she believes that one race, where everything clinked magically together, might be. American universities don’t seem to think so.

  Letters are pouring in from all over the country.

  As she faces the challenge of differentiating between a college’s genuine commitment to her or just empty promises from talent-seeking coaches, Aileen heads to the University of Gatica, a Division One school, on a recruiting trip. Her best friend dares who to go just to see the cute guys on the school’s brochure.

  The university’s athletic program boasts one of the top hurdlers in the country. Tyler Jensen is the school’s NCAA champion in the hurdles and Jim Thorpe recipient for top defensive back in football. His incredible blue-green eyes, confident smile and rock hard six pack abs mess with Aileen’s concentration.

  His offer to take her under his wing, should she choose to come to Gatica, is a temping proposition that has her wondering if she might be with an angel or making a deal with the devil himself.

  THE ONE YOU CAN’T FORGET

  Emily Rose Dougherty is a good Catholic girl from mythical Walkerville, CT. She had somehow managed to get herself into a heap trouble with the law, all because an ex-boyfriend has decided to make things difficult.

  Luke “Spade” Wade owns a Motorcycle repair shop and is the Road Captain for Hades' Spawn MC. He’s shocked when he reads in the paper that his old high school flame has been arrested. She’s always been the one he couldn’t forget.

  Will destiny let them find each other again? Or what happens in the past, best left for the history books?

  Did you love Archaic ? Then you should read Facade by Lexy Timms!

  The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion. The tunnel is.

  I didn't become a billionaire sitting on the couch.

  Sure, I come from money, but I turned that money into millions and billions more.

  Somehow though, I've landed myself in hot water and someone wants my money, or me dead. Probably both. I hired a bodyguard from an agency that assured me they only work with the best.

  Their best is a pretty, dark haired girl with an amazing body?

  I'm screwed.

  Royally.

  Literally.

  Screwed.
