Toni

By Crystal Dawn

Her husband had cleaned out their accounts and left her without resources and five children. If she was anyone else, she’d lay down and die. But she was Lucille’s daughter and she’d not forgotten the things her mother had taught her. Now she would go home with her tail between her legs and lick her wounds. There would be no romance for her and none of that paranormal bullshit.
Roth was the one the Council had assigned to work with Lucille to keep up with the white wolves that were known to them. Imagine his surprise when he met her daughter Toni and she was recently single. He would get her interested in him if it was the last thing he did. He swore it to himself.

Crystal Dawn

When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me. Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. She has always told stories and even written some but publishing books didn't start until 2012 with The Rebirth, was the first of the Planet Amazon books. Crystal has also been lucky to have some wonderful beta readers who keep her on track and help inspire her.Secretly, she crushes on all her sexy heroes because all her stories end happily. That is one of the things that makes writing such a joy. Knowing that it makes her reader's day a little brighter. Not that she doesn't read sad books sometimes. While still in school, she read Where the Red Fern Grows and cried like a baby. It was a wonderful book and sometimes a bit of sadness has to be put in books because that's part of life. While she reads all kinds of books at some time or another, PNR and SFR, which she writes is what she reads the most for pleasure.When she started writing, she decided on going Indie after the first two books because an author has more control. She believes Indie will compete well and continues to grow. The need to give pleasure to her readers keeps her going and she sees a long career ahead. Growing up mostly in the NW Arkansas area, it has given her a good place to set some stories and many of her characters come from there or nearby SW Missouri.The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits. Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

Imogene

Book 1

Falling in love was something she never thought she'd do again. After a nasty divorce and feeling like her world was crumbling down around her, Imogene Genie Defino never expects to find love--a love so forbidden that it could destroy the lives of everyone around her. With a pull stronger than any she's ever experienced before, Genie can't deny her attraction and heated desire for the sexy and rugged wolf, Eli Danvers. And with fate stepping in and forcing them together, their need for one another intensifies.

But can she resist what she shouldn't have? After all, he's half her age. Can a cougar really make a future with a wolf?

Cassandra

Book 2

A wounded warrior, a devastated widow, would they help each other heal or tear each other apart.

After the death of her husband, Cassie struggles to find meaning in her life. She is accepted to administrate a new program that helps wounded warriors get back to their lives. Helping others will help her move on.

He's no longer a soldier, it's the only thing he has ever been as an adult. The war will go on without him, but he's left a part of himself behind on the battlefield. How will he ever go on without it?

Two people looking for a reason to go on. Can they find it in each other's arms?

Lucille

Book 3

Grey was a wounded soldier that ended up in a program that would help wounded soldiers return to a functional capacity. The program worked wonderfully, but now he desires the cousin of the white wolf that runs the program. He'll pursue her no matter how fast she runs. She is his fated mate, the other half of his soul.

Lucille has had a miserable existence since her ex-husband left her without the means to support herself. She's scraped and clawed out a meager living, but she'll never let another man make decisions for her.

They will be tested by others that want to hurt them, but if they learn to depend on each other, they just might survive.

She's tired of being dominated but he's an alpha wolf inside and out. Is there any hope for love to blossom between these two seemingly mismatched mates? There is if he has any say in it.

Prologue

Toni wasn’t sure what to do. Her mom had recently remarried and none of them knew much about him. Her father had remarried not long after the divorce and that woman was a real witch. Her marriage, the one she’d thought would last forever, had just fallen apart and she had nowhere else to go. Mom was her only hope. Hands shaking, she pushed the button.

Hello? Toni, is that you?

Yes, Mom. I need to come home with the children.

Just come. I’ll get everything ready. When will you be here?

Tomorrow. Thank you, Mom.

I’m always pleased to see you. I hope you’re alright.

Just peachy. Her mom hesitated a moment. Peachy usually wasn’t good and it wasn’t good now.

I love you.

She knew her mom did and always had. It made her feel stronger and that was a good thing because she needed all the strength she could get. I love you too.

The call was over, and she had a lot to do. Five kids between the ages of seventeen and four needed packed and ready to hit the road. Her soon to be ex-husband had somehow made a grab for everything they had in their accounts, and she was using the special secret savings her mother had always encouraged her to keep hidden to make this trip. It was just one more thing to be thankful to her mom for.

What’s up now, Mom. Sandy her oldest asked.

We’re going to see Grandma.

Good. You should have taken us to her more. She’s my favorite relative, other than you, of course.

Of course. She repeated but she didn’t believe it. It was okay, she didn’t even like herself much. At least not right now.

It’s not your fault our father is an asshole.

Don’t cuss. She admonished. Like such a small and honest thing mattered. We need everyone ready to go in the morning early.

Chapter 1

Heading Home

How had she managed? She had to give a great deal of credit to her oldest children especially Sandy who had organized all the kids and given them their
