Christie Gold, Chris, is a part of the Yellow Star Pack. A nineteen-year-old whose main purpose is becoming the best Alpha she is destined to be, or that's what her father has instilled into her since shifting for the first time. Hardworking, selfless, strongminded and stubborn as hell, and in no way expecting to ever find her mate, Chris is the perfect fit. Chris' life was always simple, completely laid out in front of her, but what she and her family never thought would throw a wrench in their fantasy was none other than her mate. Brandon Whitfield, the new Alpha of the Broken Shadow Pack and the mate of Christine Gold, future Alpha to the rival pack. The twenty-three-year-old never wanted to find his mate and had no intention of accepting her once he did. He enjoyed his freedoms and didn't need nor have the time to be tied down. One look at Chris is causing self-doubt to plant its seeds in him. Read to find out more. Every chapter is written by me and no one else, from my own creativity. Photos are not mine and will be changed sometime in the future.

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)
