Gia received devastating news seven months ago. She's been living through the motions, but not quite dealing with the emotional insecurity it has put her in. When a dry cleaning mishap occurs at her job and she meets a man that ignites the organ in her chest like never before, among other parts of her body, an out of character request for dinner results in something she never expected.
Through the course of one night, Gia discovers the depth and ache of her past actions and finds herself drawn inexplicably to the man that somehow has his own flaws, but can wear them with acceptance and reverence. She battles herself and the feelings the man has drawn out, because ultimately, she knows she has no type of future with this man.
But as the night wears on and the two exchange more and more about each other, Gia struggles with holding on to that resolve. Can this man convince her that they have something special? Or will he run when he finds out just what it is Gia is fretting over?

The Alpha's Little Rogue
"Goddess, you're so perfect." he breathed the words, staring up at her as she moved rhythmically up and down above him, her breasts bouncing as he gripped her hips, trying to hold back the wave that he felt building inside of him. She just looked and felt so fucking good. "Do female wolves mark their mates?" She leaned forward as she asked the question in a low voice, sliding her arms along his chest as she shifted her position, moving her legs close together so that he was even tighter inside of her as his hands came down to grip her ass, thrusting into her from below. "Yes." he was barely able to gasp out the word. "Not in my pack. But in many- most even- other packs." "Why not yours?" He felt her mouth slip forward, her tongue teasing the same place he had marked on her body half an hour earlier. "The men in our pack just haven't allowed it. It's a sign of claiming and-" her teeth grazed the spot lightly, not hard enough to break the skin, but he felt a mixture of pleasure and pain shoot through his body and he drew in a sharp breath, his head tilting back automatically as he offered her better access to the spot. "It shows that you belong to your mate. Doesn't it? Like I belong to you?" "Yes." He murmured, gripping her more tightly, so close to the edge he knew he'd lose control at any moment. He only hoped he could bring her to the peak of pleasure again first. He'd thought she was close. "Nova." He knew his voice sounded desperate. "Can I mark you, Alpha?" ---------------------------------- When Nova stumbles into pack lands and is captured by the Blazing Moon pack she knows that she has to escape.
