Surprise Mate


Book Description

I came to The Real Werewives to help the wolf get the girl. But I never planned to be that girl. Taking this job was risky. From the start, it was more than another gig. I had something to prove as much as the wolves on Colorado Ranch—that a pack could take human mates and make it last forever. My plan was to produce the shows, and never let any of them know why this meant so much to me before I went onto the next job. Now we’re on the last episode. Sterling is one confused wolf. He’s brought many Werewives to the ranch, and now he’s decided I’m his mate. There’s no way I can be. Or can I? This wild wolf wants to break down the walls I’ve built around my heart and teach me a thing or two about myself. But there’s a reason I’ve been running, and I can’t fall for him. If history repeats itself, I could be the downfall of this pack.
