Choosing the Alpha

She walked away from her fated mate eight years ago. Now she has two weeks to decide whether his election is corrupt without surrendering to the bond that never let her go.

Heather Walsh built her career on one thing: impartiality.

As the Council auditor sent to investigate a contested shifter-pack election, she can follow dirty money, expose buried secrets, and destroy an alpha with the facts. But Red Pine's incumbent alpha is Derek Collins, the man she left behind and the mate her body still recognizes instantly.

Derek has spent eight years learning to control the wolf Heather once feared would control him. With his leadership under scrutiny, he cannot afford a scandal. He especially cannot afford the woman auditing him.

Then suspicious financial records surface tying Derek's campaign directly to Heather's family.

Suddenly, someone inside Red Pine is playing a dangerous game. Heather's reputation is on the line. Derek's position could collapse. And resisting the bond between them becomes harder when exposing the truth may require trusting each other again.

For fans of fated mates, second chances, wolf shifters, forbidden romance, political intrigue, forced proximity.
