I've always known that Ryker is my fated mate. What I didn't know? Was that he's always known he's mine... Ryker Wolfson. Strong. Sexy. Powerful. Irresistible. For as long as I can remember, I've been waiting for the Luna Ceremony that would make him my bonded mate. Though it's not supposed to be possible, I've known since I was a kid that the future Alpha of the Mountainside Pack was fated to be mine. I figured my knowing had something to do with me being a rarity: a born female alpha. Turns out that I'm half right. It's not the female part, but an alpha thing. Because Ryker? For the last eleven years, he's known exactly who I am to him. Worse? The rejection that had me hiding out this past year was as planned as everything else he has his claws in. Ryker might've thought he was protecting me, but all he did was push me away--all because he forgot for a moment what I am. Omega Gem is history. Long live the Alpha of Muncie. Only I'm in a bit of trouble these days. He might've spent years keeping my secret for me, but it's out now. An unforeseen betrayal in his pack has Ryker reeling, and me walking around with a big ol' target on my back. As if dealing with my infatuated roommate wasn't bad enough. Now I have a powerful wolf chasing after me, desperate to claim me during the next full moon. Not to mention the summons from my birth pack--and my old life. My sperm donor has discovered just how valuable I am, and since I've been "rejected" by Ryker, he wants me to go home for the first time since I was a pup. Yeah? Well, I want him to drop dead. And while I'm used to getting out of tougher scrapes than these, I'm beginning to see that--once again--I'm left with basically one option, and it isn't running away. It's Ryker. Maybe it's time that I accept that he's always been my mate... ** Always Her Mate is the second novel in the Claws and Fangs series. In a case of "better the devil you know", Gem realizes that Ryker is her best chance at avoiding being forced into a mating she doesn't want. It's tough, though. Because while she's always wanted him, her pride still can't get over his rejection...

After my mate rejected me, I wanted to kill him. Instead, I ran away-which nearly killed me... A year ago, everything was different. I had just left my home, joining the infamous Mountainside Pack. The daughter of an omega wolf, I've always been prized-but not as prized as I would be if my new packmates found out my secret. But when my fated mate-Mountainside's Alpha-rejected me in front of his whole pack council and my secret got out, I realized I had one choice. Going lone wolf was the only option I had, and I took it. Now I live in Muncie, hiding in plain sight. If the wolves ever left the mountains surrounding the city, I'd be in big trouble. Good thing that the truce between the vampires and my people is shaky at best and Muncie? It's total vamp territory. Thanks to my new vamp roomie, I get a pass, and I try to forget all about the call of the wolf. It's tough, though. I... I just can't forget my embarrassment-and my anger-from that night. And then he shows up and my chance at forgetting flies out the damn window. Ryker Wolfson. He was supposed to be my fated mate, but he chose his pack over our bond. At least, he did-but now that he knows what I've been hiding, he wants me back. But doesn't he remember? I told him I'll never be his mate, and there isn't a single thing he can do to change my mind. To Ryker, that sounds like a challenge. And if there's one thing I know about wolf shifters, it's that they can never resist a challenge. Just like I'm finding it more difficult than I should to resist him.
