Accidental Alpha

I could have lived out the rest of my days blissfully ignorant of the underground supernatural world. After all, being over 40, getting a divorce, and starting over is nuts enough. But instead, I was bitten by a dying alpha, and now I'm inadvertently thrust into the middle of his divided werewolf pack and their civil war. It's basically me and my ex, but with more death and mayhem, if that's even possible. With new powers emerging and the urge to shift imminent, I'm being forced to make some tough decisions. To make matters worse, I'm falling for the pack's sexy omega.

Ascending to alpha of the Black Crater Pack of freaking werewolves wasn't even remotely on my radar. I was just hoping the move to Oregon with my kids would mean less drama than dealing with the ex. Guess that didn't work out. Now, as it turns out, making friends in midlife is one giant pain in my backside. And believe me, I have enough aches and pains as it is. While some of the pack is thrilled there's a woman in charge, like the sexy guy I just can't stop thinking about, there's a vocal group who'd rather eat glass than see me succeed.

I can't believe he showed up here...the ex. Right when things are getting good—like I might actually have this whole Alpha thing under control—good. Or I'm ready to go on a date with the hottest guy I've laid eyes on—so good he could melt my panties off—good. But now, the ex is here, throwing his weight around, and pulling all the shots with me and the kids. (Who, by the way, are as excited about his arrival as I am.)
