Julie Ann Walker's Black Knights Inc. meets the Black Dagger Brotherhood in this high-octane shifter romance filled with alpha wolves, red-hot romance, and thrilling action from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Paige Tyler. The Dallas SWAT team is hiding one hell of a secret—they're a pack of alpha werewolves. They can take down threats no one else can handle without breaking a sweat, but SWAT team commander Gage Dixon wasn't prepared for the intense heat investigative journalist Mackenzie Stone can bring with a single look... Mackenzie never backs down from a story when her gut tells her something is up. And the fact that Gage Dixon has handpicked his perfect team of officers and keeps everyone else at a distance doesn't sit well with her. They must be hiding something...and she's determined to find out what. Keeping Mac at a distance proves impossible for Gage. She's smart, sexy, and makes him feel alive for the first time in years. But she's getting dangerously close to the truth—and perilously close to his heart... Can he protect his wolf brothers and be honest with Mac at the same time, or will she expose the truth of who's really keeping Dallas safe? Praise for Hungry Like the Wolf: "Hot, action-packed, and sexy as hell. Paige Tyler burns up the pages and I couldn't read it fast enough."—Sara Humphreys, award-winning author of Vampire Trouble "Filled with action-packed passion."—Publishers Weekly "Total fun...[Tyler] playfully brings to life werewolves who might just find a humanitarian use for their strength and skills."—Booklist "Hungry Like the Wolf is a great read for those of us who love an action-packed adventure with sexy shifters in uniform."—Tome Tender

"The struggle from late youth on, with and without God, agony, narcotics and love is a torment rarely recorded with such sustained eloquence and passion as you will find in this collection." --Fanny Howe This highly-anticipated debut boldly confronts addiction and courses the strenuous path of recovery, beginning in the wilds of the mind. Poems confront craving, control, the constant battle of alcoholism and sobriety, and the questioning of the self and its instincts within the context of this never-ending fight. From "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" Sometimes you just have to leave whatever's real to you, you have to clomp through fields and kick the caps off all the toadstools. Sometimes you have to march all the way to Galilee or the literal foot of God himself before you realize you've already passed the place where you were supposed to die. I can no longer remember the being afraid, only that it came to an end. Kaveh Akbar is the founding editor of Divedapper. His poems appear recently or soon in The New Yorker, Poetry, APR, Tin House, Ploughshares, PBS NewsHour, and elsewhere. The recipient of a 2016 Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation and the Lucille Medwick Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America, Akbar was born in Tehran, Iran, and currently lives and teaches in Florida.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The first daughter is for the Throne. The second daughter is for the Wolf. An instant NYT bestseller and word-of-mouth sensation, this dark, romantic debut fantasy weaves the unforgettable tale of a young woman who must be sacrificed to the legendary Wolf of the Wood to save her kingdom. But not all legends are true, and the Wolf isn't the only danger lurking in the Wilderwood. As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose—to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he'll return the world's captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again. But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood—and her world—whole. "If you ever wished Beauty and the Beast had more eldritch forest monsters and political machinations, this is the romance for you."―Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "A brilliant dark fantasy debut!" —Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author
