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)

*A/N: The potion the shifters drink is hallucinogenic but is NOT based on Ayahuasca or any known hallucinogen, nor is the ceremony based on an Ayahuasca ceremony. Anyone who has researched or experienced Ayahuasca will recognize that its effects are VERY different from what is described here and is meant for spiritual growth, not power and control. The potion here is the same as drinking the Kool-Aid in Jonestown.*

Some traitorous part of Cyran’s mind whispered that Roslynn Rossa played better than Master Hades, but he would no sooner breathe those words than he would suck the slime off a poisoned lizard.
