If there’s one thing Nik Johnson can’t stand, it’s the thought of finding his mate. Which, apparently, he’ll have to do soon, since his mating Fever has finally arrived. With his thoughts still hung up on his former lover, he’s given up the hope of ever finding a love that perfect again. Until he meets Alara…. Alara Crescent has had anything but a charmed life, despite her family’s status as high family within the werewolf world. Ridiculed constantly for her weight by her cruel mother and father, she’s beginning to wonder if she’ll ever be accepted for who she truly is. Then one fateful encounter delivers her right into the arms of the man she’s destined to have. When someone starts assassinating the royal family, Nik takes it upon himself to protect the woman he’s marked—a woman who would as soon bite him as love him. Despite their prejudices, can the two of them find true love before the Blood Moon rises? "Lola Taylor" is a pen name created for the romances I can't show my grandma without blushing. My favorite genre to write is romantic suspense, usually involving hot werewolves, warlocks, or any other type of paranormal creature. Keep the action hot and the romance hotter-that's my motto! I'm a horror film junkie, I still love Halloween as an adult (seriously, I think I get more excited for it than some kids do), and what precious spare time I have is spent with my family, reading (everything from sci fi to middle grade), playing the flute, painting pretty pictures, or screwing around on Pinterest or Etsy. Hailing from the South, I currently live in the Midwest with five fur babies and my hubby.
