Known as the "Growling Wolf CEO", Angelo Marconi is Alpha of the Woodland Pack, and the epitome of that title. But when this Alpha meets his mate and danger surrounds her, he will learn what happens when an alpha truly meets his match.Angelo "Growl" Marconi is known as The Growling Wolf CEO because of his viciousness in handling his rivals in the business world and the way he had a tendency to growl when he was annoyed or turned on (something his lovers found extremely arousing). "He stalks them, pounces, and rips out their throats," is a statement synonymous with the gorgeous half Italian, half Cree Indigenous man. However, most of his associates, friends, haters, and lovers would be surprised to know exactly how close they are to his true identity with his infamous moniker. Because, Angelo "Growl" Marconi actually is a wolf. A wolf shifter to be exact. And even with his long lifespan he has focused on his business, his younger brothers, and his pack. Nothing else.That all changes the day that Joi Young marches into his office building. Joi is a creative, talented, independent, snarky, full-figured, brown-skinned beauty and Angelo's mate. Knowing she belongs to him does something to Growl and he's determined to claim her, bond with her, and possess every inch of her. Just the way the spirits intended. However, Joi has other ideas. She already escaped one demanding and controlling man and has no plans to return to the same type of relationship again. No matter how hot the sex is.But Angelo refuses to take no for an answer. They belong together, and he's determined to show that to her. But when Growl's secret business dealings, his secret dual nature, and Joi's ex returns to the scene to cause havoc, Angelo has to do everything in his power to keep Joi safe and prove to her that she's his queen... and his love.

Talia Bianchi has a secret. A very big, very dangerous secret. One she’s been keeping from her best friends, and one she tried to keep from her mate, Howl. And it would still be a secret. But then she and Howl were kidnapped. Beaten. And tortured. And now her secret is out. And while the exposure of her parentage puts her life in danger with her mate and his pack, it’s the other secrets she has which may possibly end with her being killed... And the entire country being destroyed. If Howl doesn’t save her first. Harold “Howl” Marconi was blown away the first time he saw Talia. His mate was gorgeous. Intelligent. Creative. Funny. And a lover of all things Star Trek. In a word, she was perfect. Then he was blown away when he found out her secret. Then he was livid. But now her life, his life, and the lives of every shifter in North America is in danger because of a centuries old feud and Talia is in possession of the very information that could either save them or destroy them all. And Howl has to keep her safe, no matter how he feels about her lies. Talia must live. Not just for their pack. Not just for herself. Not just for him. But for the pups she’s carrying. Howl must keep her safe from those who would see her die and the secrets she keeps along with her until a resolution is found. If their mating doesn’t destroy the both of them first.
