Return to the world of the Crestas and the Evenhide Pack!
Beautiful and haunted Garnet Sinsworth is the sister of the most notorious ex-Alpha in the territories who started a costly war with the Evenhide Pack that left both sides hurt and angry and the Crimsontails without a leader … and on the brink of a civil war that could devastate the shifter territories. Brilliant Jiro Cresta, younger brother of Evenhide Alpha Dane Cresta, has no reason to trust Garnet or her pack, the Crimsontail Shadows … until he’s chosen as Alpha because he is Garnet’s fated mate. Jiro and Garnet become mates overnight and now must work together to heal the Crimsontails. But when Cyran reappears to take back his power, aided by an evil shifter wizard, Jiro and Garnet are his first target. Will the love between Jiro and Garnet bring peace to the Crimsontails and the Evenhide Pack?

The Reluctant Alpha (The Cresta Chronicles)

Garnet tried to compare Jiro’s kisses and caresses to everything she knew. Not to other kisses, because they had been mostly unsatisfying, except for one when she was fourteen. That hungry, curious kiss she shared with a gangly shifter named Myhron couldn’t match the one that held her spellbound right now. Odd … Myhron had been on the slender side and looked less muscular compared to his peers, but Goddess, he could kiss. 


Jiro’s kiss blew that fumbling exploration out of the water. It tasted like something from the human world that a traveling merchant sold in the city square. It was called chocolate, and she remembered mentioning to Cyran that if the humans made this, they couldn’t be completely rotten. Surprisingly, he agreed. Chocolate was rich and delicious, and she wanted more of it, but Jiro’s kiss was even more addictive.


Jiro’s lips felt like firm velvet pillows, but even more luxurious and pampering.
