The Deputy Was Raised By Wolves

She's up for promotion. He's up to… something. The vampire's up to no good.

Werewolf pack enforcer Nora Daniels is this close to her dream promotion to Regional Enforcement Captain. Her two goals? Nail the job and avoid workplace drama.

Enter Kenneth Clark—the new deputy who redefines disaster. He's cocky, careless, and feels like trouble—which wouldn't matter if he could actually do his job. Worse? The LifeMate Buzz hits her like a freight train every time he's near, screaming that this walking liability is her fated mate.

Um, no. Nora would rather date a vampire. Unfortunately, the rogue vampire they're hunting would like that, too.

When the rogue crashes Moonchuckle Bay's Monster Movie Festival targeting engaged couples, Nora becomes the bait as Kenneth’s (fake) fiancé. Cue maximum awkwardness, epic denial, and a Buzz Denial Fund that's paying for the sheriff's next three pizza parties.

But Kenneth keeps "accidentally" saving her life, quoting protocols he shouldn't know, and looking at her like she's his entire world. Something doesn't add up. And when Nora uncovers what he's really hiding, she'll have to choose: the promotion she's worked her whole life for—or the infuriating wolf who might actually be worth losing everything.

Moonchuckle Bay: where monsters are real, love bites, and denial is just a river in Egypt.
