The Single Dad's Fake Mate
(2025)(The first book in the Knotty Alpha Guards series)
A novel by Morrigan Black
I never thought I'd be pregnant and on the run, or that my salvation would come in the form of an Alpha lion shifter.
The night I fled my abusive alpha mate, I had nothing but my loyal pug Sam, a backpack of belongings, and the desperate hope my parents weren't wrong about Miami. When my ex tracked me down anyway, I had no choice but to contact the Alpha Guardians for protection.
I didn't expect my protector to be Varian, my gorgeous next-door neighbor with those soulful brown eyes and a son who's already stolen my heart. His solution to my problem? A temporary mating mark to break my old bond.
It's supposed to be just business, a fake mate arrangement until my ex gives up. So why does every touch feel so real? Why does my heart race when he walks into the room? And why am I starting to wish this temporary mark would become permanent?
What began as protection might be my second chance at happiness... if I'm brave enough to take it.
This steamy mpreg shifter romance contains depictions of past abuse, violence, and enough heat to make you forget it's fiction. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating and no cliffhangers.
