Alpha's Keeper (Shifters of Wolfsbane)

One shifter. One human.
Will fate bring love or ruin?

June Yates spends her days mopping and scrubbing her aunt’s inn with only a rat for company. All she wants is one of her late mother’s possessions, but her aunt keeps it locked away with a magic key. June resigns herself to her chores, like serving the handsome new guest with the golden eyes.

After his father’s knife is stolen by a dishonest innkeeper, Dominic Frost vows to retrieve it no matter the cost. He falters when he finds himself drawn to the inn’s servant, who his wolf insists is their mate. But reclaiming the knife is more important than one human—isn’t it?

When Dom makes a shocking discovery, he and June must both decide what to fight for. Their choices will determine whether they’re fated for love or ruin.

This is a standalone novella with a guaranteed HEA.
