I thought the fight was over, but it was only just beginning. I earned my spot in my all-male pack and won over my new Alpha, Liam Kolane. Yet my place among the Boulders and at Liam's side is compromised. First, when my cousin claims I helped him devise his Machiavellian plot against the pack. And then, when August Watt, my childhood friend turned Marine comes home. Although August's plan was to pledge himself to his new Alpha and return to active duty, he finds himself incapable of leaving. This becomes problematic, because a mating link has clicked into place between August and me. If not consummated, the link will fade, but that'll take months. How long and hard can I fight this physical attraction that renders my body unreceptive to anyone but my intended mate's? Tired of having to prove my worth and loyalty to my pack and Alpha, I contemplate leaving Colorado. But an enemy pack shows up on our land and challenges Liam. I have two choices: step aside and let the males fend for themselves, or step up and help them fight the newcomers. I've never stepped aside...not for anyone. Why would I start now? Dive into the seductive follow-up to Ness's story today.
