I Don’t Believe In Fated Mates!

Growly Alpha shifter Jesse Ward knows two things for sure: fated mates are a myth, and humans don’t belong on pack lands.
Then she strolls up to him at a diner and makes his wolf sit up and beg.
Lane Davenport never planned on moving to a shifter town—but a mountain of student debt and one too-good-to-be-true teaching offer later, here she is in Cedar Run… standing toe-to-toe with the infuriatingly gorgeous Alpha who’s got some very outdated ideas about humans.

Jesse’s bark is worse than his bite (barely), but when his wolf claims Lane as his fated mate, his whole world flips upside down. Lane’s not so sure about destiny—or about trusting anyone after a lifetime of foster homes and broken promises—but resisting a six-foot-four wall of muscle, dominance, and growly devotion? Yeah, good luck with that.

Now the most stubborn human in Cedar Run and the most alpha of Alphas are about to discover that when fate’s involved, resistance isn’t just futile—it’s foreplay.
