Smoke

Following my dreams was supposed to be my way out.
Sometimes, what doesn't save you, kills you after all...

Thalia

Apparently ignoring my parents' politics wasn't the right move. Shifters were outed to the public, and months later, I'm still unsure what the big deal is about.

Now my life is in danger and the only one who can protect me is the true king of the wolves.

Cade is nothing like what my mom and the press show shifters to be. He's thoughtful, reserved... and have you seen his butt in those jeans?

Cade

Having abdicated the throne, I've vowed to stay out of shifter politics.

Now, my sole responsibility, for the next nine weeks, is to make sure no idiots can completely derail the deal I've cut with the one woman holding all the cards.

The problem is... the threats against Thalia Clark are nothing compared to the danger of my wolf, now that he's claimed this human as his.

I'll kill to protect my mate, but is keeping up my end of the deal enough to save her?

Smoke is the first book in the Ardelean Bloodline series. While this story does contain an HEA for Cade and Thalia, there is an ongoing plot connecting each book in the series. Each book will need to be read in order. There are open door, explicit scenes as well as colorful language not intended for young readers. Don't let the fluffy puppy on the cover deceive you... he bites.

The cover featuring the wolf is the alternative cover to the man chest cover.
