I have a confession to make. I'm not used to being the center of anyone's attention. I know that I've been sheltered. I was adopted by humans, and by the time I was introduced to the Blackwater Pack, I was awkward and shy around other wolves - something that never really went away. I keep trying to claw myself out of my comfort zone, but until now, I've never had a compelling reason.

Ryker’s been away from home for six long years, undergoing the rigorous training required of the next pack alpha. Now he’s back, ready to take his place as the leader of Blackwater’s wolves and to claim the man he’s always wanted to be his mate. Austin can’t remember a time when he wasn’t attracted to Ryker, but when Ryker left town, so did Austin’s dreams that they would, one day, be together.

I know that I can be gruff and blunt, and I've never really been the romantic type. Still, I thought we were happy together. It turns out my ex didn’t see things the same way. He cleared out my bank account and skipped town with another man, leaving me to pick up the pieces of our broken dreams alone. Let’s get one thing clear: I'm not ready for another relationship. But that doesn't mean I'm not up for a little distraction with an attractive coworker.

Everyone has that special someone - their first love. The memory of that person who brings butterflies to your stomach and a smile to your lips. My first love was Owen Moore. He was my best friend's older brother - a broad, strapping alpha who never failed to make me feel safe. I spent most of my childhood at the Moore's house, their open warmth a welcome relief from the cold reception my own parents gave me. Owen never looked twice at me then. Now, I'm back in Blackwater, teaching at the local school. Owen's in Blackwater, too, protecting and serving as part of the police force.

My mother’s death shattered my family and I was left to raise my brothers. Now I run an empire and nothing will stand in my way as I expand Stag Law. And then Alice Peterson came along. The new corporate chef is supposed to give my company an edge, but Alice Peterson is anything but corporate. Wild and spicy as her food, Alice sweeps into Stag Law and drives me to distraction. I don’t like distraction. I summon all my drive and determination to resist my attraction to her, but what if I allow myself one tiny taste?

The only problem? He met a woman who’s not that into him…and he can’t get her out of his head.

Doug Rogers has it all planned out. He just needs to teach summer school and one tiny class at the nearby university and his master's in education will be paid for. But he wasn't planning on Amy Peterson. The almost-nurse in his comp class seems mad at the world, and particularly mad at Doug. She's one class away from her nursing degree after five long years of hard work, and she doesn't have the time or the patience for her optimistic instructor, no matter how attractive he is behind those glasses. The more he tries to talk to her, the more he seems to shove his foot in his mouth.

They strike a dangerous deal: Emma plays the part and Thatcher gives her the scoop she needs to keep her job. The illusion seems shatter-proof until Thatcher shows Emma the cracks in his inked-up armor, and she reveals a secret about her health. Can she stick to the rules or does he have a new plan in mind?

Studying him across the table, Mason could have modeled for Calvin Klein. He was that hot. His square jaw, shadowed by a layer of stubble, reminded me of the lead singer of a rock band. His features were sharp, and he had a few gray strands peeking out from a full head of thick black hair. Under his designer suit was a sculpted physique. Mason exuded a subtle power. He looked at me with an intensity and confidence that I found myself helplessly drawn to.

For all of the blood I shed - for all of the flesh I've stripped, there's only one touch that I long to feel.
