The Rejected Mate Returns as the Pack Doctor

Eight years ago, Colm Doyle rejected Junie Adair in front of the entire Silver Creek pack. She left a duffel bag on a bus stop bench and became Dr. June Adair. Now a pup is mauled in the backcountry, and the only trauma surgeon within six hundred miles is her. The pack's helicopter carries the pup, the alpha, and the mate bond eight years cold. Junie saves the boy. She treats Colm like any other chart. And then she gives the pack her terms. She wants clinic funding. A council vote. Colm's mother out of the pack house. She is not coming back for love; she is coming back for leverage. But someone baited the bear that mauled the pup, and the traitor is closer to the alpha's family than anyone wants to say. Junie has three days of outbreak and one operating theater to prove she was always the strongest of them. She isn't the girl who got rejected. She's the doctor who came back.
