The Wolf at the Door

The Wolf at the Door | Big Bad Wolf #1 | Charlie Adhara

An ex-FBI agent is partnered with the enemy in this suspenseful first installment of Charlie Adhara’s Big Bad Wolf series

Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of agent Cooper Dayton’s plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park.

Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. But as far as Cooper’s concerned, it’s failing. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they’ve seen, every bone in Cooper’s body is suspicious of his new partner—even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating.

When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. And though he’d resolved to keep things professional, Cooper’s friction with Park soon erupts...into a physical need that can’t be contained or controlled. But with a body count that’s rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. If Cooper and Park don’t catch the killer soon, one—or both—of them could be the next to go.

All Kinds of Tied Down

All Kinds of Tied Down | Marshals #1 | Mary Calmes






Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones has a reputation for being calm and collected under fire. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they've gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. Miro’s cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back… faith and something more.

As a marshal and a soldier, Ian’s expected to lead. But the power and control that brings Ian success and fulfillment in the field isn't working anywhere else. Ian’s always resisted all kinds of tied down, but having no home—and no one to come home to—is slowly eating him up inside. Over time, Ian has grudgingly accepted that going anywhere without his partner simply doesn't work. Now Miro just has to convince him that getting tangled up in heartstrings isn't being tied down at all.

El agente especial Ryan "Mac" McGuinness está teniendo una semana difícil. No sólo está siguiendo una nueva dieta, sino que también se le ha encargado mantener vivo a Henry Page, el testigo más irritante del mundo. Lo cual es difícil cuando Mac está a un suspiro de matar él mismo a Henry, quien cita a Shakespeare y está obsesionado con los huevos. A menos, claro, que matar no sea realmente lo que Mac quiera hacerle.
El estafador Henry Page prefiere mantener su distancia con la ley... aunque no le importaría acercarse un poco más al estricto y atractivo agente McGuinness. Como único testigo de un golpe de la mafia, Henry es un valioso activo para el FBI, pero tiene sus propios planes, y en ellos no entra el testificar.
Cuando queda claro que hay un topo en la oficina del FBI, Mac y Henry se ven obligados a esconderse. Encerrados en una cabaña de pesca, se sorprenden al descubrir que sus sentimientos van más allá de lo físico. Pero a medida que la mafia se acerca, Henry tiene que escapar, y Mac tiene que decidir hasta dónde está dispuesto a llegar para mantener a Henry a su lado.

Finn
When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life, and decide that Marcus and I will move on. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it, because I’m not going anywhere even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires. But Marcus loves me for who I am, even if he’s not crazy about the cute pet names I call him like McBitey. Being with him is more than I could have dreamed, and even with the trials thrown in our way, he never fails to make me smile.
Marcus
When Finn joined the VRC, I never expected how everything would change. Now that he’s the brightest part of my days, I’m unsure of how I existed without him. Before Finn and I can settle into our new life together, we’re called in as lead detectives when a body is found in the river, and the case soon hits closer to home than we anticipated. I want to be by Finn’s side to keep him safe, but at the same time, Finn’s fighting for the freedom he’s always wanted after being forced to live a life of fear. What I do know is that my future is with Finn, no matter what happens.

Finn
Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part; what’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner, an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it, and Marcus—or as I like to call him, Fangy McFangface—would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not. But what he doesn’t know is that I didn’t join the unit because I was tired of being a homicide detective, I joined because there is someone after me. They’ve already taken enough from me and I’m afraid they’re going to take all of me if I don’t find someone to help. That’s all Marcus was supposed to be, but now, he’s so much more and I can’t imagine my life without him.
Marcus
The moment the pesky human walked through that door, I knew I had to get rid of him. He’s charming and almost everyone else instantly loves him, but he doesn’t understand how risky it is being part of this unit as a human. But as I get to know the stubborn man, I learn that perhaps he’s not as naive as I once thought. And maybe he’s what I needed to realize there is more to life than just work and my dog. A group arises who is threatening to disrupt the alliance between the humans and the vampires, but Finn is the one who shows me how strong that alliance can be and reminds me why it’s worth protecting. When threats hit closer to home, I realize I would do anything for Finn because he’s brought so much joy to my life—and because he’s mine.

Anne Ashburn es una mujer consumida por un amargo pasado, tanto por su truncada carrera en el Cuerpo de bomberos de New Brunswick como por la obsesión que siente por el chico malo del departamento, Danny McGuire. Tomar una arriesgada decisión en un incendio cambia su vida para siempre y debe reinventarse, tanto en lo laboral como en lo personal.
Danny McGuire es el mejor bombero del Cuerpo, pero tiene un problema: siempre actúa sin pensárselo dos veces, y esa impulsividad se ve acrecentada cuando, debido a temas personales, comienza a asumir riesgos innecesarios…
A pesar de sentirse destrozada, Anne emprende una nueva carrera como investigadora de incendios; aunque no cree que pueda llegar a sentir la misma pasión que la invadía cuando tenía que enfrentarse al fuego, una serie de incendios sospechosos en la ciudad despierta en ella la motivación que andaba buscando. Cuando Danny comienza a ayudarla en un caso, el pasado y el presente de ambos colisionan sin control.
Danny y Anne tienen algo en común: ambos llevan el fuego en el cuerpo, y deberán descubrir juntos si las llamas que los consumen por dentro cuando están juntos llegarán a ser tan intensas como las que han tenido que combatir en sus vidas.
