Wolf Shifter Noah St. Patrick has turned his life around. Bad boy no more, he’s now a man with real-life duties. He serves his Alpha as an Omega in the Timber Rock territory. When he’s sent on an assignment to help the shifters of Aspen Valley with the issues involving Pack safety, he catches a whiff of his mate. And when he sees her, he knows that nothing will stop him from claiming the raven-haired beauty—not even the distance between them. Street-savvy waitress Tania Fischer has spent most of her life without a real family. Growing up in foster care has molded her into the determined young woman she is today. Her life hasn’t always been easy. Whatever she wants, she has to go out and get herself. Her unimpressive list of misdemeanors isn’t exactly the type of thing she’d be proud to flaunt around—not if she ever wants a dutiful, loving husband and a family of her own. At least that’s what she thought before she found her equal—literally. She never knew that there was such a thing as true mates, but the hot-as-hades shifter who wants to claim her won’t take no for an answer. Publisher’s note: Bad Wolf is a short story and can be read as a stand-alone. The story is set in the world of Aspen Valley & Timber Rock. Subplots run parallel in each book, but the installments don't have to be read in any particular order.
