The Alpha Option Release Day!

Release Day!!

Welcome to Timberwolf Lodge!

You don’t know how excited I am to say that. It’s been too long since I last walked on the wild side with the wolfies and other shifters. Writing The Alpha Option was a little like coming home.

And this time there’s a brand-new theme to explore. A challenge to achieve, as the new owners of the wilderness lodge only have so much time to prove that they can make. That they belong.

Did I mention the lodge comes with werewolves? The Carter pack of the Jasper area is a big family you’ll get to know more over the series. Which means some great bro-mance banter (cousin banter…would that be cuz-ance banter?) as the pack deals with past troubles and moves into the future.

And the heroines you’re about to meet are friends and family to each other in such a deep way that packing everything up and heading all the way across the country to try to run an eco-lodge together is simply the right move. Cassidy, Stephanie, and Stacy are going to be a delight to introduce to you as they find out about shifters, pack, and fated mates.

And moose shifters. ←  Just saying. Oh. Boy.

There are more stories to come, but here’s where this one begins. Timberwolf Lodge is ready to open her doors to you.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

The learning curve just grew fangs and claws…

The out-of-the-blue opportunity to take over a wilderness eco-lodge in the Jasper wilderness is the fresh start Cassidy Rundle and her friends have been looking for. Except the roof of the grand Timberwolf Lodge needs fixing, the rental cottages need to be overhauled, and the seemingly incompetent caretaker who comes with the place is sexy enough to make Cassidy’s brain stutter. Still, she’s determined to ignore all distractions and make this work.

When Jace Carter discovers his auntie has given him the Timberwolf Lodge property, but not the building, he expects mayhem to follow. Now he’s back home, dealing with memories, multiple cousins, and an outstanding death threat from the local Alpha (who is also a cousin. Go family!) But nothing can compare with discovering his new “boss” is a petite woman with enough attitude to take on a bear—and she’s his fated mate.

Cassidy wants to reach for her dreams? Jace will be there to make it happen, even if that means taking over the Jasper pack leadership. Once he explains shifters to his very human mate…

Read an Excerpt:

Jace stayed quiet for a minute, using the pitchfork from a kneeling position and prepping the next section of the flower bed without breaking a sweat. “All kids need to feel they belong. Forget that—everyone needs to feel they belong.”

He gave a pointed glance in her direction before going back to work.

Cassidy rocked back on her heels, knees resting in the freshly turned dirt. “What are you implying?”

He gave a gentle lift of his shoulders. “You said you needed to make this work. Timberwolf Lodge. The whole move to Jasper. That you burned bridges. Sounds as if where you were wasn’t where you needed to be.”

Nail on the head. And that just pissed her off all over again.

“Where do you get off telling me what I need?” Cassidy demanded. “I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m saying I don’t know if I want to have a conversation with you after you’ve been who the hell knows where for the past few days. You pull me along on some magical, mystical werewolf carpet ride, and then I can’t find you to ask questions. I see you across the yard chopping wood in nothing but your jeans and sexy, sweaty muscles, and I can’t sleep at night because every time I close my eyes, all I see is you, and I ache.”

Damn it. Cassidy wanted to slam a hand over her mouth, but it was now obviously five miles’ worth of words too late.

Jace squatted there beside her, balanced on his heels, a hungry look in his eyes and that cocky grin pasted on his face. Dimples in full force. She couldn’t take it anymore. Bastard.

She leaned forward, planted both hands on his chest, and shoved with all her might.

Somehow, between touching his torso and setting him in motion, the entire world rotated. He wasn’t flying away from her; she was moving in unison with him, hovering in mid-air for a split second before landing gently on her back with him over her.

Muscular arms were braced on either side of her head. His thighs rested on either side of her knees, pinning her in place from the waist down as he lowered himself until their groins connected.

His chest rocked in and out in an unsteady rhythm. His midnight-blue eyes shimmered with silver. His nostrils flared for a second, and then his eyes closed as he seemed to savour the scent of her.

“That’s not what I thought would happen,” she confessed, her voice a near whisper. As if she could say or do something and make this vanish. Make it change. And dear God, she might not know what the hell was going on, but she did not want it to stop.

“Cassidy?”

God, his voice. Like a velvet vibrator straight between her legs. “Yes?”

He lowered. Another inch. Lips closer. Gaze fixed straight on hers. “I ache too.”

And then he kissed her.
