Protecting Their Mate: Part One

Blake is on a mission from his alpha--to track down a werewolf whose parents dragged her into the human world years ago, one who may be in danger. He expects the lead to go nowhere. What he finds caged in a basement is a rare thing--a beautiful, curvy woman gripped by the fever, ready to mate. Ashley Todd has never fit in. She's always been too much--too big, too demanding, too close to the wolf hiding beneath her skin. She's been locked away for months, alone for a lifetime--and in walks Blake. Her rescuer is hard, intense, a dominant wolf whose bossy attitude makes her growl...and melt. Soothing her mating fever is his responsibility--and his pleasure. Their passion is explosive, undeniable. But what started out as a job for Blake quickly becomes something more, and the toughest part of his mission looms: take Ashley back to his pack so she can choose her permanent mate.
