Sapphic paranormal romance with low stakes and high spice.

Escaping her noisy pack for a night while she process a bad breakup, Cat can’t help noticing the magnetic woman in the corner – a werewolf just like her. When Elle saunters over, Cat decides it’s the perfect chance to reclaim who she is inside, after months of squashing herself into someone else’s mould.

Confident, comfortable Elle knows who she is and what she wants. She’ll never be as powerful as her pack guardian parents, but she’s happy working in the pack-owned gym, and helping out when senior wolves need an extra set of paws. Cat is exactly her type, and it’s looking like a perfect, no-strings-attached evening as they head to Cat’s borrowed flat for the night.

Then morning comes, and the realisation of exactly which pack they’re each from. With a rivalry going back decades and a fiercely contested territory border between them, Essex wolves and Chiltern wolves are never friends, let alone anything more than that. Swearing it’s done, Elle and Cat go their separate ways.

But when fate throws them together again all too soon, the sparks between them are undeniable, no matter how much they try.

Can they overcome prejudice, self-doubt and nosy packmates to find a happily ever after?
