includes the previously-released flash, Christmas Surprise (2899 words) as an epilogue.
There are three things you don’t first, cross Nathan Romero when he’s in a bad mood; second, trespass on his property while he’s in a bad mood; and thirdly, reject his claim to you as a mate. Those were the three things Regine Hamilton did. Due to his reputation for being a hard man, nothing and no one ever crossed him. That is until Regine Hamilton unknowingly trespassed on his property. After being invited to join the pack by his brother, Nathan found himself drawn to the mysterious yet beautiful shape-shifter.
“I don’t date alphas.” That was Regine’s motto. Especially when dealing Nathan Romero. The wolf shifter was arrogant, rude, and too damn sexy for words. Regine made sure to tread very carefully anytime she was near him. Then one night Nathan catches her off guard. She openly rejects him which forces Nathan shows a different side of himself that changes her feelings for him.
Regine is an African American shifter that got caught trespassing by an angry, but very sexy Alpha wolf, Nathan. Nathan didn’t make a great first impression by threatening to kill her if she did not vacate his land. However, he could not stop thinking about Regine and desiring this mysterious beautiful shifter.
Fast forward a year later, Regine has made a name for herself by being an excellent labor and delivery nurse in both the “human community” and the “shifter community”. Her skills are requested by Nathan’s clan. Therefore, she is forced to interact with Nathan and live in his house.
The obstacles to their love were the initial clash the year earlier and Nathan’s jealously of Regine’s close friend, a male lion shifter. Her lion friend is keeping a secret away from the rest of the community and Nathan, which makes for trouble. Also, there have been other trespassers in the territory that have caused physical harm to a few members in the clan. All of this weighs on Nathan, the Alpha, as he tries to convince Regine that they are destined to be mates.
This was a short novel and moved quickly. I wish the main characters were developed a bit more (i.e. the love story could have been developed more with stronger obstacles). The ending left you hanging for a sequel; however, the two do get mated and are happy for now.
