Mika:

My parents kept me safe from the monsters lurking in the shadows.

I was their princess, given anything my heart desired.

But nothing they taught me could have prepared me to face this loss alone.

Until a handsome stranger knocks on my door and pulls me into a confusing, but comforting hug.

A savior at my door who promises to take care of me.

I’m absolutely terrified to leave the only home I’ve ever known.

He takes me away, hysterically kicking and screaming.

Leaving me to wonder if I’m really being saved after all.

Arman:

I’m a sinner, too damned for redemption.

My soul is wicked, tarnished.

I have a dangerous mind, and I don’t suffer fools.

Ruthlessness courses through my DNA.

I’ve used my wit and brutal strength to take down my rivals, to decimate them without mercy.

Obsession rules my heart, so intense and consuming it leaves me weak, begging for more.

Unexpectedly, my innocent, youthful dove flew into a storm, and crashed into my lonely life.

She’s been sheltered, left innocent, vulnerable, and untouched.

Now, Mika is mine to protect, to cherish and to possess completely.

Whether she wants to be or not.

Author’s Note: Claimed by my Guardian is a dark mafia romance. It contains some dark themes, graphic violence, possible triggers and a possessive anti-hero who doesn’t follow the rules.

"Loved it-The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Arman and Mika. The story keeps us turning the pages with connection, vengeance, violence and steam." -C.J

"Arman and Mika-I liked this darkish insta-love forbidden age-gap romance. Arman and his "crew" made me laugh." -Bobcat

"The intense feelings between them was a highlight of this novella! I love how possessive Arman was. He didn't push her at all to become his- he just let it happen naturally, and I loved that. This novella was also ridiculously funny with several laugh-out-loud moments." -April is probably reading smut.

Ava Monroe is the writing team of Magnolia Montgomery and Alana Winters. They became good friends when they met at an author convention. Soon they were talking every day and working together. We hope you love our collaborations because we have so much fun bringing them to you.

Title: Claimed by the Moon

Series: Royal Shifters Novel

Author: L.P. Dover

Genre: Paranormal Shifter Romance

Release Date: September 28, 2021

In his 200 years of life, Zayne Lyall has made his share of enemies. The most ruthless of all being Knox Channon, who seeks vengeance for a pack war that took place over a hundred years ago.

To gain information he can use to bring Zayne down, Knox reconnects with Amelie Graye, a past love who joined the Royal pack Zayne belongs to. Unfortunately, Amelie doesn't know much about the royal arctic... despite a longing within her to be near him.

Amelie and Knox have a tumultuous past that ended after she and her family went rogue following an attack by the Sierra pack. While she has no details to offer about Zayne, Knox sniffing around her leaves his inner wolf snarling.

More than anything Zayne wants to charge in and protect the woman his heart aches for. But he has a secret... and it could cost him everything. Amelie is his fated mate. If Knox were to discover this, he would know hurting her would be the key to destroying Zayne. Torn between his desire to claim Amelie as his own and his ferocious passion to protect her, can Zayne find a way to bring down his malicious enemy? Or will an age old vendetta rob him of a blissful future with his bonded mate?

I watch Colin and Zayne on the back porch, and it’s hard not to notice how handsome Zayne is. He’s over a hundred and fifty years older than me, but he doesn’t look a day over thirty. His beard is short and well-kept, maybe even slightly rugged. He’s not your typical wolf. But, I’m not going to lie, he fascinates me.

Colin walks in through the back door, and I turn away to make it look like I wasn’t staring. I figured Zayne would follow him, but when the door doesn’t open again, I peer over my shoulder to see him still on the deck, his attention turned to the mountains.

“Is he coming in?” Kami asks Colin.

“Oh, yeah,” Colin answers. “He said he just needs a minute.”

Colin busies himself with helping Kami, but I can’t take my eyes away from Zayne. An idea pops into my head, and I smile. Moving over to the wine, I fill up my glass and turn for the door.

“Where are you going?” Kami asks.

I wink at her over my shoulder. “You say people love talking to me, so I’m going to see if it’s true.”

Her eyes widen. “You’re going out there?”

Both her and Colin stare at me as if I’m about to walk into the lion’s den. But, then again, that doesn’t scare me. Nothing does anymore. Zayne’s just a wolf who doesn’t like to socialize with people. Unfortunately for him, I’m not going to give him a choice.

“Hopefully, he doesn’t leave me hanging,” I say, backing up out of the room.

Their mouths gape, but they don’t try to stop me. When I get to the door, I take a deep breath and walk outside. Zayne tenses when I step onto the deck, but he doesn’t acknowledge me. I move closer, but there’s about three feet of distance between us. Bringing the wine to my lips, I slowly sip some down, wondering if he’ll speak to me first. Of course, he doesn’t, but that doesn’t shock me.

Turning my body toward him, I smile and wait for him to look at me. “I’m Amelie. I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced. I’m a good friend of Laila’s.”

Being around royals is always interesting. Zayne slowly turns his head my way, and it’s the first time I’ve noticed how blue his eyes are. I can feel his power more so than any other wolf I’ve been around. He’s strong.

“I know who you are,” he says, his voice low in that sexy sort of way. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
