He tells me I’m his mate. I tell him I don’t believe in fate, until he shifts, growls my name, and makes me question everything I thought I knew about forever. Jessica McSwain is done being afraid. She’s broke, on the run, and desperate enough to take a job at a bar buried deep in the West Virginia woods. Snarl isn’t exactly welcoming, and neither is its owner. Nolan Doyle is quiet, dangerous, and too intense for comfort. He tells her to leave. She refuses. But when their eyes meet, something ancient and wild awakens—something that feels a lot like destiny. Now Jessica’s caught in a world where monsters walk in daylight, where loyalty is law, and where the man she shouldn’t trust might be the only one who can keep her alive. Because fate doesn’t ask permission… and this Alpha doesn’t know how to let go. Perfect for fans of steamy fated-mates romance, possessive alphas, small-town secrets, and love stories that burn hotter than fire and last forever.
