Mara Callahan has a system. Graduate degree: on track. Career plan: solid. Personal life:
intentional and adequately managed, thank you.
Then a man sits in her section and stares at a forty-dollar steak like it owed him an apology,
looks up at her with amber eyes that do something she can't account for, and the system
develops a variable she didn't plan for.
Callum Reed is new to the city, enormously built, unnervingly calm, and in possession of the
kind of focused attention that makes her want to recalibrate everything she thought she wanted.
He says true things without spin. He waited outside her work to ask one question. He is,
objectively, a problem.
He's also a werewolf—alpha of the Stormridge Pack, thirty-seven wolves strong, headquartered
six states away—and the moment he walked into her restaurant, his entire understanding of his
own future rearranged itself.
Fated mate. His. Already decided by something older and more certain than either of them.
Mara's position: the universe ran a process on her without her input and generated a result, and
she'd like to register her objection. Callum's position: her vote is the only one that matters, and
his is already in.
She's annoyed. She's not done. There's a difference.
But while Mara processes the personal implications at her own methodical pace, a rival pack is
pushing into Stormridge territory—and they've already sent someone to confirm she exists. The
leverage concern is now active. The timeline is no longer entirely hers.
And Callum Reed, who has been patient for thirty-two years, is done letting other people set the
terms.
WILD INSTINCT is Book One of the Stormridge Pack Series. Dual POV fated-mates wolf shifter
romance with explicit heat, a heroine who needs to understand the subject before she
processes the implications, and a rival alpha with very unfortunate timing. Standalone HEA with
series arc.
Perfect for fans of: Jaymin Eve, Leia Stone, Eva Chase, and anyone who thinks the heroine
should get a full informed vote on the fated mate situation.
Genre: Romance
