Book excerpt: "As much as I felt bad for this Elisha person-God, my heart was breaking for the young man and all he'd been through-I was also angry. I'd left that pack in my rearview ten years ago for a good reason."Matthias Longclaw is happy living his life on the back of his beloved Harley with his five best friends and brothers-in-arms at his side. The West Coast Wolves are a rare pack of alphas, made up of unwanted orphans and second-born sons. The packs they were born to may not have wanted them, but they've built a solid family of their own. They help where they can, doing random acts of kindness and expecting nothing in return, just helping to build a world they want to live in.Then Matt gets a call from an old childhood buddy. He's being called back-begged to return-to reclaim his birthright and save a life in the process. The problem is... to do it, he will have to take a mate. And if he refuses? The omega will die. Torn between his duty to help others and his resentment of his old pack, Matt never expects for Elisha Whitetail to tilt his world and change everything. Can Matt and Elisha rebuild a broken pack while tending to a new love and a growing family while dealing with outside threats from neighboring packs? They're wolves. Strong, proud, and willing to do what it takes when their community needs them... whatever it takes.This is the first in a new mpreg series about finding joy in a hard world, building family, and discovering that life can surprise a person when they least expect it. Although this world has harsher themes than my previous books, it still has the same heart you'd expect. Plus a dose of my irreverent humor and all the naughty, knotty heat that comes with true mates. It wouldn't be a Susi Hawke book without it.

Karen's anger rose again as she realized it was his own fault for being sore, tired, and bleeding. She could have died if it had not been for that asshole guy.

As they navigate the treacherous path together, an intense attraction grows between them, unraveling long-concealed secrets that should have remained locked away-secrets that may unleash powers too volatile to control.
