DESCRIPTION

After getting kicked out of her trailer, Maddy finds herself homeless in a desperate situation. She's forced to move in with Gareth, an Alpha werewolf who's been her fantasy crush for five years. There's an age gap, and until a week ago, he was way off limits.

Now Madeline Donovan has to confront the fact that she might be a werewolf, too. She doesn't want to be a wolf shifter, but when an enemy pack issues an Alpha Challenge, she finds herself thrown headfirst into Gareth's world. To make matters worse, a werewolf hunter has come to town, and Gareth is his prime target. Maddy struggles to find her courage and embrace her first Change, all to protect herself and her new lifemate.

Excerpt: Nowhere to Run

Gareth reached out and took her hands, drawing her into the house, then he shut the door behind them and locked it against the night. He pulled her into his chest, wrapping her up in his strong embrace. He had thick, strong hands, used to working on cars and handling guns, but he cradled her head gently.

"I'm sorry I ran off like that," Maddy mumbled into his broad chest. Silent tears stained her cheeks. "It's just . . . a lot."

"I know."

"I don't want to think about all this anymore. It's too much."

"Alright. Then let me take your mind off it."

He leaned down and captured her lips with his own, drawing her quiet sob into his mouth. She leaned into him, desperately seeking his warmth and the comfort of his touch. He left a trail of little bites across her cheek, then teased her earlobe with his lips. She drew in a shaky breath as her face grew flushed. Was it wrong that she craved this? He seemed to know instinctively what she wanted.

His hand trailed down her back, resting upon her hip, over the mass of scar tissue on her lower back. It's like he had memorized the location even through her clothes.

"I know you don't understand how this works," he growled against her ear, sending a delicious shiver down her neck. "But I'm your Alpha, sweetheart. You're the little one, I'm the big one, so I'll keep you safe. I'll teach you how to be a wolf."

"You're not my keeper, Gareth," she murmured.

"I am now, babygirl. Who else are you gonna run to?"
