Entangled by Shadows

He came to take everything from her town. She was the only one who saw exactly what he was and chose not to look away.
Maya Rivers doesn't trust easily. Four years behind the counter of Grounds & Glory has made her the best reader of people in Willow Creek. She knows what every person needs before they open their mouth. She knows when someone is hiding something. And the moment Marcus Holt walks through her door with exact change and cold eyes, she knows he is the most dangerous man she has ever served.
What she doesn't know is how much danger she is already in.
Marcus came to Willow Creek with a plan. Acquire the land. Claim the territory. Return home with everything his pack needs and nothing he doesn't. He did not plan for a barista who sees straight through him. He did not plan for a coffee shop that feels more like home than anywhere he has ever stood. He did not plan for Maya.
But plans have a way of unraveling in Willow Creek.
When Marcus's past arrives in the form of a challenge that could cost him everything his alpha title, his place in the pack, and the fragile new life he has been quietly, carefully building Maya will have to decide how much she is willing to risk for a man who once came to her town as an enemy.
And Marcus will have to decide if the thing worth fighting for is a pack, a title, or the sharp-tongued woman behind the counter who never once looked at him with fear.
Some men are built for conquest. Some places are built to change them.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance, possessive alpha heroes with redemption arcs, and small-town shifter series with found family at their heart.
