In a mystical town, two powerful beings are about to collide-Sterling Elwood, a 237-year-old Hellhound king, and Everleigh Simmons, an 18-year-old werewolf struggling with her loyalties.
Everleigh lives in the peaceful mountain region, the heart of her pack's territory, where her father, Garrick Simmons, is the revered Alpha. While she embraces her role in the pack, she feels drawn to the secrets hidden in her world. Far beyond the mountains lies the treacherous lands of the Hellhounds, ruled by Sterling, a towering creature of unimaginable strength and dark magic. Thought to have been wiped out centuries ago, the Hellhounds have secretly survived, building their numbers to overthrow the corrupt Alpha King who rules over all the packs.
Aurelius Blackwood, the Alpha King, is viewed as a savior to the packs-charismatic, just, and powerful. But as Everleigh uncovers more about the King, she begins to realize his true, sinister nature. Beneath his facade of goodwill lies a ruthless ruler determined to maintain his grip on power. Sterling, an immortal Hellhound, is prepared to challenge the Alpha King, and Everleigh's fate becomes tied to his in ways she never expected.
On the night of the solstice, a bite from Sterling will forever change Everleigh, binding her to him and forcing her to confront her deepest fears about loyalty, power, and betrayal. With war looming, Everleigh and Sterling must navigate their complex bond while facing the truth about the Alpha King's evil-and the consequences of standing against him.
"The Hellhound's Mate" is a thrilling tale of forbidden love, magic, and power in a world where immortals fight for control, and one choice could alter everything.

"And what do you intend to do with me?" I let his name slide sensually off my tongue. "Perhaps you'd like to see me bent over this desk-"
"Don't finish that sentence." Lucius growled and moved closer, his leg slipping between mine, and he gently parted my knees. "Or I might be tempted."
"I'm not stopping you."
