Krystal Le Beau
Page 23
Rose Le Beau loves her mate, but babies terrify her. What does she know about babies? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Tragically wounded, combat veteran Mark Anderson has a lot of time on his hands. No longer able to serve his country and suffering from PTSD, he’s bored and at his wits’ end. That is, until his conversation with Simon. What had he been thinking when he offered to be one of the singles auctioned off? A date, he’s okay with. Anything more sends him into a panic attack.
Sharon Lejeune’s intuition is screaming that something big is about to happen. She just didn’t expect that something big to be her mate. Who knew a shifter could purchase a mate at a singles auction?
To the Le Beaus, family is everything. Together, there isn’t much they can’t overcome. Have they finally met a situation they can’t solve?
STEFAN
Beautiful, successful, and plus-sized El suffered a violent attack that has left her hating all handsome, wealthy men. Unfortunately for Stefan, he’s exactly what she hates.
Stefan is a playboy to the extreme with one hard and fast rule: date a woman once, take her to bed, and be gone before morning.
Until El.
When he is the winning bidder at his brother Simon’s charity auction, he thinks his dream of finding his one true mate has come true. Wrong. So very, very wrong.
Now, if she would only talk to him. Or look at him. Or touch him, or… like him.
Can Stefan convince El he's a reformed man?
Can El learn to trust a man who is the epitome of what she avoids and could shatter her heart?
It’ll require drastic measures by the entire Le Beau family to make this mating happen.
THOMAS
As the owner of The Backwater shifter bar, Julia Le Beau is happy with her place in the shifter community. The only thing missing in her life is a man. Until he arrives on his white horse, she has stacks of romance novels to fill her nights. Too bad, her crazy mother doesn’t see it that way.
Lucinda, her crazy-ass mother, shops her and her sister, Krystal, around to the pure blood shifters like pieces of meat. Only a born shifter mate is good enough for her girls.
Thomas James’ childhood has molded him into the man is today, extremely protective and relationship shy. As the chief of security for the royal family, he has his hands full. His grandparents, Isaac and Emma Le Beau’s lives are in his hands. Women don’t factor into that other than as an unwanted distraction.
Though they are destined to be mates, the obstacles standing between them and their happily-ever-after, seem insurmountable.
Lucinda insists Julia stay away from the filthy human.
Thomas’s father is trying to kill everyone he loves.
The mysterious Benevolent Sovereign has sent swampers to attack Thomas and destroy Julia’s livelihood.
With a family like theirs, who needs enemies?
Will Julia and Thomas’s happiness be snuffed out before it has a chance to begin, or will they forge through—obstacles be damned?
CADE & ANNA
When Dr. Marjorie schedules an ultrasound for Anna, Cade goes into paranoid meltdown. Something must be wrong! He’s sure of it.
Seeing his daughter on the computer screen larger than life is the catalyst for pure chaos and sets Cade onto a path of foolish, well-meaning choices. In a state of panic, he instigates a series of disastrous projects with the help of Simon, Stefan, and Thomas.
As a shifter mate and psychically linked through their bond, he feels everything.
Absolutely EVERYTHING.
Labor is an experience no male should endure—
EVER.
Why would a woman ever wish to go through this a second time? Insanity, plain and simple.
LUCAS
Krystal Le Beau has a secret. She’s a psychic matchmaker. Little does her cousin, Lucas, know she’s worked her magic on him.
Lucas Le Beau’s dream of owning a ranch has come true. He thought he had everything he wanted… until the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen knocks him flat on his back. Three times! Now he can’t think of anything but making that sweet redhead his own. Lucas is one determined wolf! He’s not giving up on Kensie, no matter how stubborn she is.
Kensie Brown has a plan. Spend one week in godforsaken Texas to please her sister and then get the heck out of Dodge. She should have remembered that the best-laid plans often go awry. So far, she’s managed to flatten the owner of the dude ranch, make Jojo mad, and somehow fall for a damn cowboy, knowing she’s leaving in a few days. What was she thinking?
Will Kensie trust Lucas to save her when her life is threatened, and she has no one else to turn to?
Will Lucas get to Kensie in time to stop the man who wants to expose her to the world and destroy her?
Mix one stubborn Yankee workaholic, a determined cowboy wolf shifter, and meddling family stir well, and you have the recipe for a wild Texas ride.
RICHIE
Four years ago, Richie met a group of Tulane freshmen when he saved one of them from a mugger.
Now the first of their menagerie is getting married.
Surprise of all surprises, Richie meets his mate, Piper, at the wedding in Missouri, of all places.

Will Piper apprehend her bounty?
Or will her bounty get to her first?
Injuries are mounting, and time is running out.
SETH
Orphaned at birth, Seth is adopted and raised by the king and queen of the shifters, Isaac and Emma Le Beau.
Circumstances and heartbreak have driven Seth Le Beau to join the elite band of hunters. Shifters pledged to serve the wolf goddess, Luperca, as her right hand meting out justice to the shifters who go rogue.
Burned out and ready to retire, Seth seeks refuge at the plantation, but Isaac has one last hunt for him to complete.
Unable to deny his father the king, and the Wolf Goddess herself, will this last assignment before he retires be his undoing or his salvation?
The stakes are higher than he ever imagined.
Sara Adams is a police detective, a damn good one, too.
Ten years ago, when Sara’s older sister took a mate she learned all she wanted to know about shifters. Since then, she’s stayed out of their world as much as possible.
That is about to come to an abrupt end. Sara’s brother, Grant, has been killed by a rogue and Sara will be damned if the monster sees another day.
Is there a sliver of common ground for them to stand on in order to get the job done? The dangerous life and death hunt is on, and only the strongest will survive.

Darius Drummond is a vampire sworn to protect witches from the Guild. Hundreds of years dealing with singular witches weren’t enough to prepare him for Carolyn. Now that he’s found his soulmate, can he save her from the pyre?
ETIENNE
Willa Witt is colorful, literally. She has rainbow-colored hair. She’s a straight shooter who tells it like it is. Her motto is, “If everyone said what they were thinking or feeling there would be a lot less confusion in the world.”
Her life centers on her friends, grad school, and historical architecture, which leaves little time for romantic interests. What is a busy girl to do when a smoking hot vampire wants to rock her world? Grab on with both hands. That’s what.
Identical twin brothers, Etienne and Ivan Delacour, both want Willa.
One wants to love her and treat her like a queen. The other wants her dead.
Which vampire will be Willa’s ultimate fate?

On the run from the mob and dogged every step of the way by a shadowy group of men they can’t seem to shake, Marshal Benoit is running out of options. Come hell or high water, he’ll get his witness to safety.
There’s a mole at WITSEC, and as far as Sheena knows, the only person standing between her and a bullet is a marshal she met only days ago. That is until she comes face to face with Xander and things become exponentially more dangerous as they make a mad dash for the Le Beau Ranch.
