Saving the Grey Ridge Alpha

She swore she'd never be prey again. Then she dragged a bleeding stranger out of the moonlit pines—right into the world of wolves. Rayna Vale is done running. New name, cheap room above the Grey Ridge diner, cash tips, head down. Until a midnight hike ends with a gunshot and a man collapsing at her feet. She shouldn't get involved. She does anyway—tourniquet, pressure, breath in his ear. The stranger is Cassian Ridgewell, Alpha of Grey Ridge. And the second Rayna's hands touch him, the truth hits like lightning—their mate bond snaps awake. Now her stalker knows where she is. A rogue shifter crew is hunting Cassian's patrols. And every predator in Grey Ridge just scented the Alpha's weakest point: her. He's the kind of protective that melts steel. She's the kind of brave that refuses a cage. Together they'll outsmart a human monster, smoke out a traitor in the pack, and turn an entire town into a trap—before the rogues and her past close in for the kill. Perfect for readers who love: fated mates, protective alphas, oblivious-to-wolves heroines, small-town pack vibes, slow-burn heat, fast suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.
