In a fight between his past and present, this ruthless shifter is determined to claim his future. Kayla has been trying to get Parker’s attention for four months.

Parker’s willpower has been carefully chipped away and he can’t resist the sexy little wolf shifter any longer. Unfortunately, she’s off to charm another man in the Rock Creek Clan’s rival pack. His inner beast is growling, prowling, urging him to claim Kayla as his mate. And when her new position puts her in danger? Parker must overcome his past and be the man he never thought he could be—one worthy of the woman he loves. But if they can’t fight through their issues, they’ll both lose. Ruthless Fighter is the third standalone novel in the Fierce Mates: Rock Creek Clan series.
