Alexandra Riley’s day starts out like any other in her predictable life. Then a dark stranger bursts into her father’s garage, and in one shocking moment she discovers she’s the half-breed daughter of a legendary werewolf and is a much-sought-after prize. Joshua Striker, enforcer for the Wolf Creek pack, has come to take Alex home. Nothing more, nothing less. From the first moment he sees her, she becomes a distraction from his duty—a weakness he doesn’t want but can’t resist needing. But keeping her safe is not as simple as fending off males on the hunt for a mate. Through city streets to the mountains of North Carolina, they have to evade purists who don’t want their shifter bloodlines tainted with human DNA, as well as bounty hunters who think the only good werewolf is a dead one. What Joshua and Alex can’t outrun is the passion that flares between them, or the choice Alex must eventually face—claim her inner wolf, or forfeit her chance to claim Joshua as her own.
