Jessica LaRoux, Alpha of the San Antonio Basin pack, may be perpetually thirsty, but she doesn't do labels, or love, or relationships—and she certainly doesn't believe in mates or forever. She's perfectly happy with her giant pack, her vampire-free city, and her secret side hustle.

But when she asks Sheppard, the Alpha of the Colorado Springs pack, to be the face of her PR campaign to reveal werewolves to the world at large, she gets more than she bargained for. One brush of a hand sparks a flame that refuses to be extinguished, no matter how much Jess tries to pretend it's nothing.

Besides, Shep would go running for the hills if he found out about her side hustle... wouldn't he?
