Alpha wolf need not apply

Eric Silver is a wolf shifter and a park ranger in San Isabel National Forest in Colorado. He takes the job of policing the forest seriously, and right now he is tracking a group of unfamiliar wolves who seem to be up to no good.

His investigation brings him to Pepper Grayling, a forester and a she-wolf who leads her own pack. She is strong, independent and not looking for a mate. Eric is intrigued by her from the start.

Danger is moving through the forest, and Pepper is tempted to act on her attraction to Eric and ally her pack with his. Trust does not come easily to her, though. Alpha males have repeatedly pursued her, hoping to take over the pack and the territory she has worked hard to hold.

Eric is a born leader, which is exactly what makes her wary. This paranormal romance turns on whether a man like him can win the confidence of a woman who has been betrayed so many times, while a threat from outside closes in on both their packs.
