About this book
Alpha Instinct Ana has kept her decimated pack together through sheer force of will, but without an Alpha male, they're sitting ducks for the ruthless Sean Taggart—who's hungry for both her land and her. When Connor Armstrong returns to claim her as his mate and shield them from danger, Ana has to wrestle with the raw chemistry that never died between them, even as her heart remembers exactly how badly he left her before. As Connor fights to prove he won't abandon her again and win back her trust, they're forced to face a threat far darker than pack politics: humans who are systematically hunting shifters. Now, protecting each other means Connor and Ana must bridge the gap between their scorching attraction and the deeper bond they both desperately crave—before enemies close in from every side.

Sultry, intense urban fantasy energy with raw chemistry and second chances. Dark R&B, moody alternative rock, and sensual electronic vibes. Think The Weeknd's intensity, Jhené Aiko's magnetism, and industrial undertones. Passionate, dangerous, unresolved tension that burns.
