C.D. Gorri

He’s an Alpha looking for a home.
She’s an outsider with no one to call her own.

Can they find what they’re searching for in each other?

Derrick Rand is an Alpha Dire Wolf, a rare and powerful species of Shifter. When he hears about the seemingly ideal town of Blue Valley, New Jersey, he, and his crew, fill their tanks and mount their bikes for the long cross-country ride. Tired of the nomadic life, Derrick is determined to find a place to call home.

Lucy Corwyn leads a fairly simple lifestyle, moving from town to town and working crappy jobs to make ends meet. Feline Hybrid Shifters aren't exactly high enough on the food chain to claim territory.

After her junker breaks down, Lucy finds herself stranded and without funds. Time is of the essence for this not-so-big Cat. She needs to earn some fast cash to fix her car before some dumb Shifter tries to turn her into a chew toy.

Luckily, she spies a help wanted sign at a biker bar. Walking into Serious Moonlight to inquire about a job is a piece of cake, or so she thinks. Imagine her surprise when the sexy new owner turns out to be her mate… and that's not all.

The gorgeous male is not only a Dire Wolf, he's the Pack Alpha. Larger than life and chock full of testosterone, this monster is used to getting his way, but that doesn't mean Lucy will make it easy on the big guy.

No way. No how.

If the big bad Wolf wants to catch this little she-Cat, he's gonna have to shake that sass.

Dire Wolf Mates

“Four porterhouses up,” Brock yelled over the dull roar of activity that seemed constant in the busy kitchen.


He’d outfitted the space with the best equipment, though the design was simplistic/ Fitting, seeing as how the menu was mainly grilled meat and fish. He kept things orderly, neat, clean, and his staff knew what their jobs entailed. Anyone caught cutting corners, was fired. No second chances.


Some might call him a cruel boss, but he wasn’t. Brock simply needed the best from his team. It was what he gave, and what he demanded in return. Being head chef was a dream come true, but it was hard work.


Cooking was the fun part. Menu creation a close second. He changed it up every few weeks or so, with different side dishes based on availability and what was in season. The core was the same—steaks, chops, filets, fowl, and whole fish. The ingredients were all top quality. But it was the cooking technique that mattered most, in his opinion.
