Mated to the Grumpy Alpha
(2026)(The first book in the Greywood Pack series)
A novel by C J Blackwood
She inherited a dive bar in a town full of werewolves. The grumpy one who wants to buy it just imprinted on her by accident. Neither of them is happy about it.
Frankie Bianchi drove six hundred miles to escape a burned-down life and inherit the one thing she's ever owned outright: a crumbling bar in a Montana town so small the GPS gave up. The plan is simple. Fix it. Sell it. Never think about pine trees again.
The plan lasts exactly as long as it takes the biggest, grumpiest man she's ever seen to duck through her door and announce that she should leave.
Knox Greywood owns the dirt under her feet, runs the wolf pack that secretly runs the town, and has one rule: keep the humans out of pack business. So catching the scent of his fated mate in a closed bar — a mouthy, broke, human one who tucks his business card into his pocket like a tip — is, frankly, the worst thing that has ever happened to him.
He wants her gone. The wolf in him wants to roll over and show her its belly. And the rival pack circling the border has just realized the alpha has a soft spot exactly five foot four and full of opinions.
Now Frankie's got a bar that turns out to be a treaty, a dead aunt who left her more than floorboards, and a fated mate who keeps explaining the stakes when she'd really rather he just kissed her.
She came to Hellbend to sell up and leave.
Turns out the mountain has other plans.
✦
Mated to the Grumpy Alpha is a steamy, laugh-out-loud wolf-shifter rom-com with a grumpy-sunshine-ish alpha, a heroine who refuses to be rescued (mostly), a found-family pack of disasters, and a fated-mates bond neither party signed up for. Book One of The Greywood Pack. HEA guaranteed, no cliffhanger on the couple — just a town full of single wolves who are next.
Genre: Romance
