Summary

Love in Excess is Eliza Haywood's best known novel. As the story was written by a woman – it is revolutionary in the fact that it shows multilayered characters of real women who have their own sexual agendas. The first part details the competition between Alovisa and Amena, two upper-class young women of disparate wealth, for D'Elmont's attentions. The narrator specifically mentioned the "custom which forbids women to make a declaration of their thoughts." That women were not permitted to express their affections or choice until a suitor formally proposed marriage is important to both the plot and the theme of the novel.[4] Alovisa writes an unsigned letter to D'Elmont in hopes of eliciting a definite amorous response from him, which inadvertently leads D'Elmont to court Amena. Amena's father refuses to allow his daughter to continue meeting with D'Elmont without a proposal of marriage, which forces the pair to meet via subterfuge. With the help of Anaret, Amena's woman servant, two attempts for the pair to meet are made, the second of which sees Amena and D'Elmont alone in the Tuileries at night.

What choice do you have when your instincts take over your life? 
School is over. Forever. And Cole is ready for real life to begin. His apprenticeship as a mechanic promises enough money to get a little flat in town, close to his pack but not too close. And who knows what else he could do with that freedom? 
But before that, there's a camping trip to the woods with his best mates, TJ and Ari. TJ has been Cole's best friend since before school and he's almost as good getting out of trouble as getting into it. Ari came later, but Cole can't imagine life without his sharp intelligence and sweet smiles either. 
If you are into guys, they don't make them easier on the eyes than TJ and Ari, but Cole is just fine keeping that to himself. They have meat to grill, some beer, and three nights to say goodbye to their childhood. 
Everything is going great until Cole starts feeling odd. Within a few hours, his whole life is turned upside down: He is an omega. He is in heat. And he is alone in the woods with two alphas. 
A happier look at accidental sex story. HFN. M/M/M werewolf alpha/omega/alpha first-time romance. Mentions of mpreg, knotting and heat cycles.

While River wasn’t wrong about Drew keeping secrets, how could he tell a human what he is?

Ruthless. Unyielding. Deadly. 
Alpha Adrianus Rex, the merciless ruler of Titan Vale, is feared by all who dare cross him. As an alpha with a heart as frigid as the icy tundra he calls home, Adrianus shows no mercy to those who oppose him. He's on a mission to hunt down every defected Karl sorcerer and make them pay with their lives, their heads impaled on spikes as a warning to all. 
But there's one Omega he's saving for last: Kieran Greyford. The most dangerous of them all, with a darkness in his soul that seeks nothing but destruction. 
The worst part of it all is that Kieran knows his secret. One he's kept hidden in the depths of his heart. He's an Alpha, that likes to be taken as an Omega. If this ever got out Adrianus would be ruined. Even though Kieran is his mate, Adrianus won't let sentimentality cloud his judgment. He'll stop at nothing to put an end to Kieran's malevolence, even if it means sacrificing his own soul. 
As the final showdown looms, will Adrianus be able to defeat Kieran once and for all? Or will the Omega's twisted desires lead them both to their ultimate demise? 
  
Warning: this is an MM historical fiction Viking romance, mm romance werewolf shifters, mm paranormal romance, mm first-time romance, mm dark romance, mm enemies to lovers, assassination attempts, and a HEA.
