The Alpha's Amateur Sleuth

Three years ago, Reid Calloway rejected Cassidy Quinn in front of the entire Piper's Hollow pack. She has spent every day since being fine. Then the founding alpha turns up dead with wolfsbane on his collar, and the sheriff arrests the one man Cassidy never wanted to see again. Cassidy is the only wolf in town who reads crime reports for fun and can smell a lie from the doorway. She knows Reid didn't do it — she just doesn't care enough to say so for free. Hired as a consultant by a human deputy with no patience for werewolf politics, Cassidy starts pulling at threads: a missing covenant, a ledger with four family names, and a Vance cousin everyone insists is long dead. Every clue points closer to the pack's founding families and further from the man she used to love. Cozy mystery, small town secrets, and a rejected mate who solves the case and keeps her own heart.
