The Enforcer He Betrayed

Nova Reyes runs the Iron Wolves' protection racket, and she's never needed a man for anything. Not for a fight, not for a kill, not for a mate. Then Dax Marrow walks into her clubhouse — the enforcer who shot her best friend and walked away clean. He's come to talk peace. Nova's come to draw. And the mating bond slams into both of them the second their eyes meet. She refuses. She takes a public mate from a visiting charter, tells Dax to his face she'd rather bleed. But someone in her pack is selling shifters to a human fighting ring, and Dax is the only wolf with the reach to find them. Working together is a war. Sleeping together isn't the plan. Finding out Dax never pulled the trigger is. When the truth comes out, Nova has to choose: the pack that raised her, or the mate she was built to hate.
