I can’t be trusted around humans. Especially sweet schoolteachers... I’m the guy you don’t want to meet in a dark alley. And that’s just my human side—my wolf is so untamed and dangerous even supernaturals fear me. I’m known for my ability to hunt and kill. It doesn’t matter to me that my next assignment is a small-town schoolteacher. I don’t ask questions. Then I see Serene for the first time. The wolf in me knows immediately she’s my mate and I’m not going to let anyone else touch her. Except with a contract out on her life, if I don’t kill her, someone else will. I’ll need to get close to her. Too close. It’s the only way I can protect her. But protecting her from my wolf will be an entirely different story...

I’m the pack alpha. She’s human. And my wolf is convinced she’s my mate… Our pack’s enforcer has gone missing, and I’ve tracked his scent to his mate’s old hometown. In a town this small, it won’t take long to uncover them, but what I didn’t count on was Morgan. I know instantly she’s my mate. It must be a joke. She’s human, and that’s unheard of in our world. But my wolf doesn’t care. I can see Morgan is special, and I’m not the only one. When I find an unusual book in her apartment, I smell it straight away—the scent of another supernatural. She tells me a stranger visited the library and asked her to translate it. I’ve no idea what a supernatural would want with her, but my instincts are telling me this isn’t good. I need to protect Morgan from danger while I find out the truth behind the ancient text. But first, I must convince her to trust me, which means revealing who and what I am. I just hope she’s got enough imagination to believe that the things you read about in books might actually be true…

I’ll fight to protect her, but I’ll never surrender my heart... I’ve got no idea what the Fae want with a human schoolteacher who doesn’t know anything about our world, but my job is simple—protect her at all costs. Except nothing about Melanie turns out to be simple. Her scent destroys me, and her sex appeal has got my wolf battling for restraint. I don’t like humans, but I can sense that there’s something different about this woman. Then one of our own is killed, and the message is clear—the Fae will stop at nothing until they get their hands on Melanie. And it’s not just Melanie at risk. The shifters’ entire existence hangs in the balance. I can smell the impending battle in the air and I’m ready to attack. Especially if they dare to get too close to Melanie...
