Karenna Colcroft lives just north of Boston, Massachusetts, and has been in love with the city since childhood, though she has yet to encounter any werewolves, vampires, or other paranormal beings in her travels. At least none that she knows of. Though since in her non-writing life, under another name, she offers services as a channel and energy healing practitioner, it could be said that she herself is a paranormal being. The jury’s still out on that.
Karenna is a polyamorous, nonbinary human who splits time between the home she shares with her husband and the one she shares with her committed partner. She also has two adult children and a bonus son, three grandchildren, and two and a half cats. (Half in terms of time the cat lives with her, not in terms of the cat itself…)

But the pressure of ruling all werewolves in the United States is getting to Tobias.

An old friend comes to Tobias for help in rescuing his mate from an abusive Alpha. As the extent of the Alpha’s crimes comes to light and the Alpha flees, Tobias sentences him to death.

Summary: Kyle Slidell has been a werewolf for three months now. The only thing that makes it bearable is his mate Tobias Rogan, the Alpha of their pack. Now Kyle must accompany Tobias to the regional gathering of Alphas, where Tobias will declare Kyle his mate.

Summary: When Kyle Slidell was transferred to Boston by his company, he didn't expect to start crushing on his new neighbor, Tobias Rogan. He didn't expect Tobias to say yes to a date. And he sure as hell didn't expect to be attacked by a werewolf while picking strawberries for his dinner with Tobias--or to become a werewolf himself. Even as a werewolf, Kyle maintains his veganism. He's the only known were who can outstubborn his wolf, the only one who isn't bound by the compulsion power possessed by alphas, and the only known *male* mate of a male Alpha. Because that's who Tobias turns out to be: Alpha of the pack Kyle has unknowingly been living among. Which is the last thing Kyle expected. This book contains discussion of past sexual trauma (the trauma does not occur on-page, the conversation does), physical violence between werewolves, abduction, and a werewolf Alpha living with PTSD. This is a revised and moderately edited version of a book previously published in 2011.
