Willow used to love her life, until her asshat of a boss, and the alpha of her pack declared fated mates are rare. He's told them they need to start picking their mates instead of waiting for them to ensure their pack survives. And the clincher, her alpha wants her as his mate. Now she's torn between doing what she feels is right by her pack and what's right by her heart. Like a sign from above, she's called out of town to help her cousin's pack fight an evil all shifters pray is a thing of the past. She never expects to find the very thing she's been waiting for, the answer to her unspoken prayers. Hudson Walker, along with the rest of his pack are gathered at his alpha's home, coming up with a game plan. He should be focused on finding Weston, his older brother who's been captured by hunters for God only knows what purpose. The minute she walks in, the only thing he can focus on his her. Nothing else matters, except it does. She's avoiding him, and he's got a brother to find. Why does it suddenly feel like he's running out of time to claim his mate and find his brother? This is book four in the New Hope Shifters series. It is full of action, suspense, plenty of steam, and a sweet Happily Ever After. While this is a standalone romance and can be read out of series order, reading the books in order (Jackson, Jameson, Remington, and then Hudson) will make for a more enjoyable read.
