A Pack of Lies and a Big Bad Wolf

Olivia Crowley came to Arkansas to yell at an Alpha. She did not come to find a mate.

Kieran Holt turned away her little brother when he desperately needed help, and Olivia intends to make the arrogant Shadowpine Alpha regret it.
Then Kieran takes one look at her and announces she’s his fated mate.
Absolutely not.

Olivia has spent years taking care of herself and her brother. She does not need a bossy, infuriatingly handsome Alpha claiming her, ordering her around, or making her entire body short-circuit every time he gets too close.
Obviously, he’s using magic.
Kieran knows better.

His wolf has chosen Olivia, fate has spoken, and unfortunately his mate is a stubborn, sharp-tongued menace who questions his authority, insults him to his face, corrupts his little sister, and refuses to do a single thing he tells her.
He’s never wanted anyone more.

Now Kieran has to help Olivia’s brother, protect the secrets of his pack, and convince the one woman completely unimpressed by his Alpha status that fate didn’t make a mistake.
Preferably before she kills him.
Or kisses him.

At this point, either one seems equally likely.
