The longer Elena stays, the stranger everything becomes. The town isn't what it seems, Ezra isn't who he pretends to be, and the shadows of her past may not be as far behind her as she thought. Because buried somewhere in Ashwood is the truth about her father's unsolved murder and the reason fate refuses to let her go.

In the heart of the Rolling Woods Pack, Hazel Wren is tired. Tired of her packmates ignoring her, tired of being her parent's second-favorite, and tired of her golden-child sister's cruelty. Despite being one of the most competent and qualified Archivist's in the wolf-shifter community, Hazel is lonely. After feeling like the unwanted second-choice her whole life, Hazel is ready for her mate to choose her. But when her mate unexpectedly rejects her, Hazel's whole life turns upside down. Just as despair begins to consume her, a chance encounter with a mysterious Lycan with stormy gray eyes sparks a flicker of hope. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is NOT your typical rejection story. The main character will not fall into her love interest's arms within the first chapter (although she eventually does). This is a bit of a SLOW BURN. This is about Hazel's story and how she gains the confidence to love and be herself. If you have ever felt like you are unwanted, that you have hit your lowest low, and you don't know how to keep going, maybe Hazel's story will help you feel seen. Enjoy!!

His lips were on mine again as soon as he could get to me. I tried not to think about what I was doing. He smelled good and he felt good, and I pulled him to me, wrapping my arms around his neck, kissing him back. His lips moved against mine, and I wanted his tongue. I brushed my hands down his neck, past the open collar of his shirt. I wanted his tattoos to smudge off onto my skin. I wanted to be doused in him. I started unbuttoning his shirt. Cade made a noise in the back of his throat and his hand caught mine. He pulled back just enough to see my face, our noses almost touching, both breathless. I wanted to touch his face. To touch his cheeks and his jaw, to nuzzle against him. I wanted to fit into that hollow at the base of his throat. The need was licking up at me from inside, hot and fast. Now now now do it now need need need. *** Lore has always been content to ignore the older, more archaic aspects of werewolf existence-she doesn't pledge loyalty to any pack, she doesn't go out of her way to take part in any werewolf cultural touchstones, and she's never looked for her mate. If there's a role for her in werewolf society, she doesn't know it and she isn't trying to know it. She lives almost exclusively among mortal humans and takes the occasional wolfy jog in whatever woods she can find. Her suppressed wolf is a good gut check, but little else. Then she's thrust, by pure chance, into the path of her fated mate. And to make matters worse, he's an alpha. Now, Lore is forced to reconcile her rejection of werewolf cliches with the irresistible draw of the man she's (begrudgingly) destined to be with.
