Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll get a satisfying, explicit romance with fated mate intensity and kink-heavy scenes that deliver on the craving.

Synopsis

Despite having been besotted with Dante Garcea since she was a child, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow figures that it’s time to move past the crush. If he wanted her, he wouldn’t have ignored her flirtatious behavior, right? Hiding her intense attraction to him isn’t easy – especially now that they're part of the same pack again – but with bigger issues to worry about and with the submissive wolf act to maintain, Jaime is resolute on moving forward. Now if only the workaholic control-freak would let her… As the pack Beta, Dante doesn't have the space or time in his life for a relationship. As such, he ignores his intense hunger for the willful – and sometimes crazy – Jaime. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante finds that he doesn’t like losing her attention. He finds something else too – Jaime's hiding something. Determined to uncover her secret, he sets out to break through her defenses, even though being around her intensifies his cravings for her. What he finds is a problem that Jaime is convinced not even a powerful Beta can solve.

At a Glance

Jaime has been crushing on Dante forever and he has been oblivious—classic. She is hiding a dangerous secret about her wolf that could get her killed by her own pack. Suzanne Wright delivers her signature banter-heavy, possessive-alpha shifter romance with genuine stakes underneath the humor. NOT omegaverse despite the fated mates and pack dynamics. Steamy with frequent explicit scenes. Each Phoenix Pack book follows a different couple to HEA, so this reads standalone even as book 2.
