The Omega Objection
Book 2 of the San Andreas Shifters series
Bartender Isaac has spent years running from his past and fears werewolves despite possessing a supernatural appeal that shifters find difficult to resist. Tank, one of the San Andreas Pack's largest and most intimidating wolves, proves unexpectedly gentle and eager to place trust in Isaac's hands. Desire offers temporary refuge, but pack politics and approaching danger make flight seem safer than revealing the history Isaac has concealed. Explicit and tender beneath its suspense, this urban-fantasy romance suits adult readers who enjoy opposites-attract couples, protective werewolves, dominance-and-submission dynamics, hurt-comfort, and found families patient enough to make a habitual runaway consider staying.
