Rebel Without Claws: Southern Charm Book One

As the Alpha of the East Coast territory, I’m used to getting what I want. And what I want is the impossibly stubborn and utterly captivating she-wolf, Frankie Becker. She’s been a thorn in my side—and my heart—since the day she rejected me as her mate five years ago. Now, she’s back in my city, working as a bartender and trying to pretend I don’t exist. Not gonna happen. Frankie thinks she can hide behind her sharp tongue and rebellious attitude. But I see the fierce loyalty she has for her friends, the vulnerability she tries to mask, and the fire that mirrors my own. When a threat from her past emerges, she has no choice but to accept my protection. Having her under my roof, in my space, is a sweet torture. Every glance, every accidental touch, fuels the mate bond she’s determined to ignore. But I’m done playing by her rules. She can run, but she can’t hide from a predator like me. I’ll use every weapon in my arsenal—seduction, patience, and raw dominance—to prove we’re meant to be. This time, I’m not backing down. This time, I’m claiming my mate.
