Wolf shifter Sydney Nichols escaped her abusive mate with nothing but the clothes on her back and a phone number for a shifter rescue group. She wasn't expecting the three hyena shifters sent to bring her to safety to feel like everything she'd never been allowed to have.

Orion, Crux, and Sterling know the moment they find Sydney huddled in a bus station that she's their mate. But she's broken, guarded, and already counting down the days until she can leave for her cousin's pack in Alaska. What she doesn't know is that one storm-stranded night has left her with a secret that will change everything.

But her former mate isn't finished with her, and when the past comes crashing into her fragile new life, Orion, Crux, and Sterling will burn the world down to keep her safe.

Will they convince Sydney that she's finally found the family she always deserved?

I write for the readers who stay up past their bedtime, telling themselves "just one more chapter" long after the lights should be out. The ones who fall in love with fictional characters, escape into magical worlds, and crave protective heroes who would do anything for their women.

My love for paranormal romance started as a young mom reading ebooks in the middle of the night, drawn to the monsters who were more than villains?they were heroes. Inspired by shifters and fated mates, I set a goal in 2011 to publish my first book. Over 100 books later, I'm still creating the kind of stories I love to read.

Now, I spend my days dreaming up protective heroes, captivating heroines, and the happily ever afters they fight for, often while walking with my pup coworker and plotting my next book. I write for readers who love adventure, passion, and a touch of magic?because I'm still that girl under the covers, reading by flashlight, lost in another world.
