Stacy and Del are up next at the Timberwolf Lodge!

WELCOME BACK TO TIMBERWOLF LODGE!!

Here we go again!

 

In book 2 we switch from the power of the pack to the heart of the pack. Because while Delaney is one powerful wolf, he knows his fated mate has something special that she’s bringing to the table.

And so does the pack, even when they’re still wondering why they’re so drawn to Stacy. Attitudes, random shifting, it’s all fun and games until…well, you know the rest of it.

They all need to learn better ways to be a wolf, human, mate, lover, friend.

So, yes. It’s another book full of fun, friendship, and this time, oh so many wolf puns, I snickered pretty much through one entire chapter. I’m already looking forward to seeing where the third book takes us, but in the meantime, I hope you’re ready to fall in love with sweet, strong Stacy and a very deserving Delaney.

The Enforcer's Gamble

There’s nothing more dangerous than a mama bear…

Only days ago, Stacy Moraine and her three young boys’ arrival at Timberwolf Lodge involved a near disaster in a flooded river. This week’s agenda? Learn the ins and outs of the huge kitchen Stacy needs to successfully run at the Lodge, deal with mouthy teenage pack members with control issues, and not drool over the deliciously dangerous Delaney Vezina, the local pack Enforcer, whose goal in life seems to be to strip naked and show off his perfect… everything anytime Stacy is near.

Switching from Alpha to Enforcer for the Jasper pack was the right thing to do, and Del’s had a lifetime of experience in doing what’s right, even if it’s currently killing him. Like not pushing Stacy too fast, even though he knows they’re fated mates. Having her boys in the picture only makes him want to accelerate the timing even faster. He wants her, and them, to be his. But first, he needs to eliminate the dangers from her past that threaten their future.

Because something’s not right in the pack. There’s going to be a showdown between one very protective mama and anyone who thinks they can pull fast one on her. Del’s more than willing to hold her cape as long as they’re standing together in the end.

Here’s a quick [unedited!] introduction to Stacy and Delaney.

“A fake date, to make the pack accept me, the human?” Stacy asked.

“A real date, with the bonus that wolves see me caring for you.”

They were still not on the same conversation plane. Stacy shook her head. “So, what? We’ll go on three dates, impress the pack that I’m a good gal, and then if I don’t want to continue, you’ll give me space?”

His frown deepened. “It would sound creepy if I said no, but…no.” Del looked caught between a rock and a hard place. “I won’t go directly against your wishes, but I’d change it up and find new ways to entice you to spend time with me.”

Um, ugh? “Still sounding a touch creepy,” she warned.

“Yeah. Sorry, downfall of being mat— male. A shifter male.” Del cleared his throat. “Shifters run on a few different rules than humans. We’re not a pack that approves of dominating assholes, but…even polite alpha wolves kind of are dominating assholes.” He scrubbed a hand over his neck. “Fuck. I don’t see any way out of this conversation with my balls intact.”

She outright laughed. “You’re fine. It appears I need wolf lessons, same as my son.”

Del nodded. “There’s more. But just like I won’t drop all the shifter info on Colt in the first lesson, I’m not dropping it all on you.”

“Makes sense.”

A quick flash of guilt raced over his face, gone the next moment. More secrets? They had to have a million of them, from the world, from each other.

Fine, her problem was here and now. Stacy considered, then laid it all on the table. “This is absolutely not why I came to Jasper,” she warned. “I do like you. You’ve proven to be a caring and thoughtful person since the first moment I met you. Plus, it’s been a long time since I enjoyed any physical connection with a man—since you seem to be able to sense my interest. But interest in sex is not the same as the need for another man in my life full time. I’m a bad bet as a date.”

“I’ll take the gamble,” Del responded instantly.

“And you have to promise that if I ever do tell you to back off, you’ll stop. I don’t want to have to call in my friend to use her magic Alpha of the pack voice to neuter you.”

Instead of grimacing, he grinned. “I’m glad you have Cassidy, but you’ll never need that backup option, I promise.”

“Some things are nonnegotiable. We don’t lose focus on what’s most important,” Stacy summed up. “Colt’s training. Pack security. Timberwolf Lodge winning the challenge. You and I are just an interlude. Fun as long as it’s fun. Over when it’s over. Yes?”

His eyes flashed. “Over when it’s over. Fine by me.”

She could have sworn he muttered the word never under his breath.
