“What brings you to Driftwood Cove?”

Alec’s face goes cold for a moment, barely noticeable if I hadn’t been looking directly at him. “I’m a nomad of sorts. Been traveling for a few years. Finally made it back to the coast.” It’s vague, and I narrow my eyes.

“Nomad? Meaning you’ve been wandering around the wilderness for years with no money or job?”

Alec laughs, “Hah, no. More like a lone wolf, traveling the world searching for a new life.” His eyes catch mine, searching for something. “A new family.”
*****
In the seaside town of Driftwood Cove, a witch named Leena dutifully looks after her family’s florist shop until a mysterious, rogue Alpha named Alec drifts in. Leena expects a steamy one-night stand. But, Alec’s dark past resurfaces and threatens their relationship. Will Leena overcome the threat, or will Alec’s flippancy towards life be more than Leena bargained for?

The Witch's Unconventional Alpha

Early morning light blinds me through the open curtains, and I have a distinct, overwhelming desire to be zipped inside a tent away from the sun. But when Leena curls up against my side, sleep-warm and barely awake, I feel like everything else doesn’t matter as much. Only her. 


“Mmm, bacon,” are Leena’s first, slurred words of the morning, eyes just peeking open and her mouth pulled in a tight line with her hair a tangled bird's nest; I feel myself falling for her all over again.


I don’t want to pull her abruptly from this half-sleep, but I can hear footsteps coming down the long hall, and I want her to be able to throw some clothes on if she feels the need to, so I give her a gentle nudge under the covers, calling her name softly. 


“Leena? Someone is coming down the hall.” 


One of her eyes opens fully, and she hunkers down into the covers a little tighter, curling into my chest, “Who?”
