The main protagonist Seline is a wolf-shifter hybrid with a lot of baggage. When a wolf pack moves into town, she meets the Alpha who turns out to be her fated mate.

It’s a first in this series to see a male Psy paired with a wolf, and the romance between these two was extremely sensual. But they were also challenged in other ways, too.
