Dara Voss has a rule: keep it professional.
Eight years as the Stormridge Pack's second has taught her that feelings are a liability in a
negotiation, and that the fastest way to lose ground is to care about who's sitting across the
table from you. She's survived three territorial crises, two boundary disputes, and one pack
alpha's extremely complicated romantic situation. She can handle a monthly check-in with a
rival pack's second.
She handles it for five months. Then she stops handling it.
Reina Vasquez is everything Dara respects in an opponent: direct, precise, never games the
agreement, says the true thing even when it's inconvenient. She's also been sitting on an
internal crisis inside Kosta's operation for eighteen months—twelve absorbed packs, terms that
don't match the pitch, a compliance function she's been building from scratch and fighting to
keep. She needs someone outside the situation to talk to.
Dara knows a bar.
What starts as one drink in neutral territory becomes two months of texts, a three-day boundary
review that puts them in the same hotel, and a dinner that is explicitly not neutral. By the time
Dara drives eleven hours through the night because Reina's been hit with a false allegation and
she can't sit in the Northwest being displeased at a distance, they've both been calling it the
wrong thing for far too long.
It's not a complication. It's not a professional management challenge.
It's the most interested either of them has been in a person in years. And the timing—as
always—is terrible.
WILD CLAIM is Book Two of the Stormridge Pack Series. Enemies-to-lovers wolf shifter
romance with explicit heat, two women who are very good at their jobs and completely terrible at
each other, and a ceasefire that was never really about the boundary. Standalone HEA. Can be
read first, better after Wild Instinct.
Perfect for fans of: Grace McGinty, Vera Rivers, Jaymin Eve, and anyone who has ever called
something a professional management challenge when it was absolutely something else.
