The Alpha’s Runaway Mate: A Wolf Shifter Romance

She ran to disappear. He'd been waiting his whole life to find her.

Ava Lawson has one rule: never be found.
After a brutal attack and years of being hunted by a relentless stalker, she's an expert at vanishing—new name, new town, never looking back. Emberwood Ridge, a sleepy mountain town surrounded by endless forest, is supposed to be just another stop on the run.

Until the night she steps outside a roadside bar and sees a man being torn apart in the trees.

Ava should walk away. Instead, she throws herself between a stranger and a monster with claws, teeth…and eyes that glow in the dark. She saves his life, blows her cover, and discovers the "stranger" is Lucas Hale—owner of the local lodge, leader of the town's most powerful family…

…and Alpha of a secret wolf shifter pack.

To Lucas, one breath of Ava's scent is all it takes—his wolf knows. She is his fated mate. The woman he's spent years searching for. The one he will love, protect and claim, no matter how hard she tries to push him away.

But danger has already caught her trail.

Her stalker has been waiting for her to slip… and Emberwood Ridge just became the hunting ground.
