    Summary

    “You're cute if you think you could keep up with me. But I quite like you on your knees, princess,” Vale whispered, just for her. Her blood boiled in response, flooding her veins and her core in equal measure. While an egotistical OH was a tale as old as time and the eternal setter's ire, something in this alpha set her alight. Zoe didn't need to smell like flames to burn.

    Cute is what your fangirls will call any play you made before I was your setter,” Zoe spit, rising to her feet and holding Vale's gaze. Vale, who looked to be stranded somewhere between shocked and pissed, still bent slightly even with Zoe now standing. Their noses were only inches apart, their lips-

    or

    Ever since she presented as an omega, Zoe has had one rule for herself above all else: Never let anyone find out the truth. Her second rule had been to avoid alphas at all costs, but that quickly becomes impossible when she joins an all alpha college volleyball team.

    Summary

    Having recently escaped a horrific existence within one of London's more dreadful asylums, Briar Eweling is on the run in the chilly English countryside. Hoping to find sympathetic kin in Scotland, Briar seeks desperately to remain out of sight despite the dropping temperatures for even the slightest hint of heat scent will cast her into a mindless, violent, and destructive state in which she cannot control nor remember anything she does. Fortunate enough to find a small empty cottage just before a heavy winter snow, Briar knows she cannot stay long as she can smell that an Omega spends plenty of time here, and soon she'll be back. There are very few options in life for a truly feral Alpha, but Briar couldn't even begin to imagine that her madness might meet its match.

    Summary

    Grandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.

    Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.

    Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.

    (Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)

    Summary

    Diplomat and insurgent Leit Ardanae meant to liberate her planet. General Vanine Ellender, older, smarter, and far more willing to accept Andran losses, if it preserved the Ellendric empire's access to their mineral wealth, has decisively won the thirty-year conflict. It cost her a daughter, though betrayal cost her that long before. Leit owes her another.

    Complete.
