PACK RULE #7: PACK SECRETS MUST BE KEPT

I’m supposed to erase her memory, not claim her.

My son’s date knows too much. The most important rule of the pack has been broken: She’s seen him shift. The alpha orders me to make her forget, but one hint of her scent and I know the truth—this human is MINE.

Riley’s half my age. She has her whole life in front of her. If I claim her, I lock her into a fate she never even imagined. Besides, she thinks I’m a player–only out for one thing.

I should stay away. Should let her go. But Riley is too sweet, too beautiful, and far too mine.

Now she’s caught between our two worlds—one side thinks we should steer clear of each other. The other wants a forever bond…either way, she’ll suffer the consequences.

She doesn’t understand the bond between us, but I can’t protect her without it. When danger comes for her, she has to trust me to keep her safe—the wolf who was born to be hers.


Riley couldn’t believe she was finally kissing Tyler after having a crush on him for years but even more striking was that the kiss is awful. He’s the hottest guy she’s ever seen, and she’s wanted him for years, so it just doesn’t make sense. Until she meets his dad, Cody. She doesn’t know anything about shifters, but Cody knows he’s met his fated mate in Riley, he just isn’t sure how to make her understand their connection.

The Alpha is breathing down his neck to either claim her or wipe her memory of seeing Tyler shift, but Cody wants to explain everything and give Riley a chance to process. He wants her to know everything and choose him so the Alpha’s deadline of one week is an intimidating prospect. They have a lot of obstacles in their way besides being shifter-human fated mates, like the more than twenty-year age gap and the fact that she thinks he’s a major player.

Riley wants to believe his sweet words but it’s all so crazy. She had a disappointing kiss with her dream guy, almost got eaten by a mountain lion and watched Tyler shift to protect her. Now his dad is melting her panties and she’s so crazy with lust she can’t even think straight in Cody’s presence. Riley had so much thrown at her in a very short time, but she wasn’t intimidated at the prospect of the animal in Cody. In fact, it just turned her on even more. They were meant for each other, and I loved every minute of their story. I’d like to thank the authors and Literally Yours PR for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
