Meeting: A Wolf Shapeshifter Paranormal Romance (The Alpha Ascending Series Book 1) by Kelsey Carter

Everyone's always been afraid of me, Artem Bradford, powerful NFL pro turned CEO. Now they have GOOD reason to be. A mugger with VERY sharp teeth has turned me into a werewolf....

Realizing the shocking truth, I've fled from Dallas to the pristine woods on the Canadian border to come to terms with the change in me. Except it's anything BUT peaceful here. My oil company once tried to destroy the reservation by running a pipeline through it. My employees ALL lied to me, and I was dumb enough to trust them. How can I ever undo years of hostility and make this my new home? Find friends? Maybe even love?

Luckily, I've had one honest frenemy over the years, a young Cheyenne lawyer named Jaci Moonbear. She dared stand up to me to help stop the pipeline just in time. Now Jaci's driving me crazy in a different way. Meeting her in person shocks me to the core. Jaci is GORGEOUS, smart, sexy, and about the only woman NOT interested in my money and fame.

The two of us working together to save the wilderness and my werewolf glade is the perfect chance to grow closer to Jaci. Every moment we share is pure heaven, at least for me. Do I dare try to date her, when all I want to do is mate with her, to bond with her for all time?

The trouble is, how do you tell the woman you adore that you're a werewolf? And what secrets is she hiding as well?

Even worse, the current Alpha of our pack is setting my fangs on edge. Rob the bouncer is big, mean, greedy, and getting more out of control with every full moon. Can I stay alive long enough to win Jaci for my bonded mate? Or will I die trying to overthrow Rob and ascend as Alpha myself in order to save all my werewolf friends....?
