A mating of convenience even a lone wolf can’t refuse.

I’m Wren, a shifter without a pack in a world where unclaimed females are considered property. Luckily, friendly ghosts keep me one step ahead of greedy alphas while also helping me free other women before they’re sold to the highest bidder.

Then a battle-scarred alpha who can banish ghosts with a single touch rips into my carefully controlled world. Locke offers me a deal: become his mate in name only, and he’ll fight by my side to free lone females.

I try to refuse. I should refuse. But when one of my ghosts becomes trapped in Locke’s territory and the next mate market looms, I realize I can’t win this battle alone.

I need the help of someone living—even if it means binding myself to an alpha like the one who turned my friends into ghosts.

Mate Market is the first book in the slow-burn romantic urban fantasy Ghost Pack series, set in the unforgiving arctic wilderness where forced proximity, found family, and fierce werewolves collide.

In a space-faring future, janitorial engineer Casey Cassandra spends her days contentedly fixing robots on an ambassador’s spaceship. But when one of her robotic cleaning cubes happens to be in the wrong place at the right time, Casey overhears an ominous threat.

Someone is plotting to kill the ambassador, and that someone is a traitor within their own fleet.

Armed with only a hefty cleaning cube bot (named Charles) and her eccentric engineering knowledge, Casey must go against all fleet standards. She’ll have to break the rules in order to secretly warn her boss, Ambassador Dessian Tandor, that he’s in imminent danger — from his own people.

Although Dessian is hard-pressed to believe Casey’s claims, he can’t deny that things have been strange lately aboard his ship. With the help of a lazy yet charming pilot, Dessian and Casey escape from their spaceship home. Within a few hours, all three of them are publicly branded as criminals. On the run now, Casey and Dessian must find out why they’re being framed — and who they can trust, when the whole fleet seems to be against them.

It’s just one command between life and death, and somehow the ship’s janitor has found herself at the helm of a universe-wide conspiracy plot.
