A couple author freebies from my KU list to try. I haven't gotten to any of these yet.

Hidden Mate (Wolf Born #1) by Jen L. Grey

Spoiler:

Finding my fated mate could bring death... or worse.

I was born to one day lead our pack, but the current alpha—my father—doesn’t think I'm worthy.

Going to college offers an escape, a chance to make a new beginning, to prove myself.

On my first day, though, I find far more than I bargained for.

My fated mate. Something that any wolf rejoices in finding.

Except he’s forbidden.

Choices must be made, and loyalties will be tested. With everything on the brink of destruction, only one thing is certain - my life will never be the same.

Demon King (Claimed by Lucifer #1) by Elizabeth Briggs

Spoiler:

I made a deal with the devil. Now he claims I'm his fated mate.

When my best friend goes missing in Las Vegas, there’s only one man I can turn to for help.

Lucas Ifer. Billionaire playboy. CEO of Abaddon Inc. King of Sin City. And…the devil himself?

Lucas—aka Lucifer—agrees to help me, but in exchange he wants one thing: me.

He’s dark, dangerous, and wickedly handsome. Oh, and evil incarnate. I should say no, but I can’t. I’m that desperate.

But when you make a deal with the devil, there's no escaping it. Now he owns my body for seven nights of sin.

Even worse, he says I'm his fated mate and that we have a past stretching back through time—but I don't remember any of it.

I’m Persephone being claimed by Hades, and I have no choice but to enter his underworld and become his dark queen.

Is there any light left in that black heart? Or will his darkness consume me?

Pints & Potions (Unlucky Charms #1) by T.M. Cromer

Spoiler:

Sick of the unwelcome attention that comes with being a member of an extremely powerful family, Piper Thorne longs to escape her magical burden and live a mortal’s simple existence. On a whim, she adopts an alias and jets off to Ireland, where she stumbles into the path of the enticing rogue, Cian O’Malley. But she’s ill prepared to deal with the onslaught of emotions his wicked grin stirs up when he oh-so-casually turns up the charm.

A hardened, down-on-his-luck warlock, Cian O’Malley is determined to change his family’s plight and restore their stolen magic. In the midst of his half-baked plan to woo the bewitching Piper, he finds himself in a death match with an old enemy who’s carrying a monumental grudge.

Before long, Cian discovers Piper might just hold the key to reversing a two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old curse. He only has to keep them both alive long enough to solve the riddle written in the O’Malleys’ ancient grimoire and convince Piper to trust him with her heart.
