Ruby Callaghan might be the alpha’s niece, but that doesn’t mean she wants everyone else controlling her life. At twenty years old, she is young and free, though she’s been spending time with fellow pack-mate, Joel Golding. The male shifter has been pressing her for more, but Ruby isn’t sure she’s ready to be mated to anyone. But her alpha has other ideas. To secure the future of the Dark Ridge wolves, he orders her mating to one of the Golding brothers. The wrong brother. At twenty-eight, with his massive build and long, dark hair, Ruby has only ever thought of beta wolf, Holton Golding, as a brute. The thought of being his mate horrifies her, but she loves her pack. Should she agree with her uncle’s plans, or will other events threaten the security of the Dark Ridge wolves? *Please note, Wolf Torn was previously published as part of the Shifters and Spice boxed set. New scenes have been added and the book republished as part of The Dark Ridge Wolves series. The Dark Ridge Wolves can each be read as standalone books, as each story follows a different couple, but they are best read in order.
