Three Courts Series by Lyra Evans

Lane Irons, Alpha of the Seventh Sector of Connor’s Court, only has time for one kind of love in his life—love of his pack. He sleeps around because he has no interest in a long-term commitment. It isn’t worth it. After all, his pack comes first, and Lane’s pretty sure he’s going to be leading them alone for the rest of his life. But when a new family joins Lane’s pack, they bring with them more trouble than anyone expected... moreLane Irons, Alpha of the Seventh Sector of Connor’s Court, only has time for one kind of love in his life—love of his pack. He sleeps around because he has no interest in a long-term commitment. It isn’t worth it. After all, his pack comes first, and Lane’s pretty sure he’s going to be leading them alone for the rest of his life. But when a new family joins Lane’s pack, they bring with them more trouble than anyone expected. One of the children isn’t a child at all, and Lane isn’t ready for just how gorgeous—and dangerous—this twenty-one-year-old Werewolf is. Full-grown and now of age to challenge, Phoenix Weston is a born Alpha, and he plans to make a name for himself. It’s no secret that he intends to challenge Lane for Alpha, constantly questioning Lane’s every move. Travelling to the Samhain festival in the Fae Court should mean relaxation—sun, surf, and sex. But Phoenix’s habit of making Lane’s blood boil, in more ways than one, means relaxation is not in the cards. As tensions rise between them, Lane is running out of options to handle Phoenix. Seeing their fight coming to a head, a mischievous Fae offers a solution—a challenge. But the challenge is unlike anything they can imagine and dangerous beyond reckoning, walking the line between the veils of the worlds and shaking loose feelings Lane works hard to forget. Can they work together long enough to make it out? Or will their stubbornness cost them their lives? Pasts and futures collide, and Lane may find that this time, he’s at the mercy of his heart.

All it brings to mind are lavish balls and elitist nobles and the constant pressure of his mother to marry up. But when he’s at work as a border guard for Nimueh’s Court, Calder goes by a different name—Brook. And then, everything changes. As Brook he’s a border guard first, and he’s damn good at his job. So much so, he’s even made friends with Alpha Connor Pierce and his mate Oliver Worth, Leaders of the Werewolf Court. As Brook, he’s got respect and dignity and control. Except when it comes to one particular Werewolf border guard… Jackson Racer is impossible to read. He’s tall and lean and mischievous to a fault. He’s been playing with Brook’s heart since the day they met on the border, and Brook can’t handle it anymore. He needs to get over Racer—and the two weeks he has off for the Winter Solstice are a perfect time to try. Until Oliver Worth asks Brook to take on a case—with Jackson Racer. Now Brook has to go undercover to infiltrate an illegal potions ring to find the leaders and their stash. And if being partnered with Racer wasn’t bad enough, their aliases have them pretending to be lovers. But as the Winter Solstice draws nearer and the weather turns icy, heat rises between Brook and Racer and danger is everywhere. Now they’re playing parts with the suspects and with each other. Will this Winter Solstice bring further frost, or will it melt the ice over Brook’s heart once and for all? And can they work together to solve the case before it, too, goes cold? less
