Welcome to Redwood University, where the creatures that go bump in the night really do exist… and they’re hiding in plain sight.
Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed.
It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus.
It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate.
Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha.
But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate.
Painful.
Because regardless of what the fates think, or the supposed destiny we share… Alexei and I could never be.
So, if Alexei won’t reject our bond… I’ll have to do it for him.
*To Reject a Mate is the first book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you’ve come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride into this exciting new paranormal world.

That all you got, Coach? August gained speed, fists unclenching at his sides as he poured himself into the sprint.
Our coven and friends gradually fell further behind, unmotivated by our silent competition…
Still, we pushed, farther, harder, faster, our shoes slapping against the pavement now, as mortal as could be.
First one back wins? I could feel his smile, although I didn’t dare a glance his way as I focused my burning eyes on the front awning of the Westerlunds’ building.
Wins…what exactly?
A round of truth or dare.
Child.
It’s that or strip poker.
I snorted. I wouldn’t last long.
Don’t know how to play poker?
I met his cocky stare, trying to hide as I fought to keep my breathing even. I’m just not wearing much under these clothes.
August cleared his throat, the sound tight, making it impossible to fight back my smile. “Fuuuck,” he growled.
I’d been fooling myself, thinking I stood a chance.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken and bestselling author Patti Stanger comes a gripping love story of cursed soulmates who are forced to relive tragedy over and over again until their curse is broken…
Compelled to seduce, designed to kill.
What do you do when your love destroys the only person you are designed to be with?
For centuries I've been trapped in a curse with my soulmate, only she has no idea… until history finally repeats itself.
The Matchmaker of the Fae felt wronged when we both chose our own destinies, and now, we're forced to relive our fate over and over again.
I try like hell to fix the curse, but I remember nothing after each death, only that I'm lonely and heartbroken.
The small town of Orca Cove, Oregon, doesn't help matters.
Filled with paranormal lore from all over the world… if anything, they're just as trapped as I am.
My only help is the large library on my estate.
If I can just find the notes I know I would have hidden, along with texts, maybe this time will be different.
The house groans with need for its mistress.
My heart breaks with sorrow that she doesn't recognize me until it's too late.
Her blood will always be on my hands, just like her heart is in mine.
The path to your soul mate isn't a fairytale—at least ours isn't.
My Fae queen thinks she's nothing more than a normal college student. She believes that the world is just as she sees it, without a clue that the darkness lurking in the shadows, the man she'll fall for once again, the man who will be her demise…
Is me.
