Howling Hills

Nyle's done well for himself - at only 26 years old, he's the prime alpha of the close-knit Howling Hills Pack, as well as the owner of the town's hottest nightclub: Club Rumblefish. There's just one thing missing: a mate. And when Nyle receives word that his best friend - and longtime crush - is returning home from his military service, his wolf can't help but sit up and take notice. Seph is glad to be home. He didn't hate the military - but he was never able to keep himself completely invested. Part of his heart has always been back in Howling Hills, with the alpha he left behind.

Alpha Grayson McNally is one of Howling Hills' hottest bachelors - or at least, he would be if he weren't still grieving for the ex who left him behind five years ago. He's learned to hide his loneliness behind smiles and practical jokes, but when a rogue bee sting sends him to the hospital, Grayson wonders if he might not have a second chance at love after all.

Thorne isn't ready to fall in love. His wife has been gone for only two years; he's still a grieving widower. Most days, he's not sure if he'll ever be ready to open his heart again. A simple, quiet existence with his beloved son, Mason, will have to be enough for him - and when it's not, he's got his friends in the Howling Hills pack to take up the slack.

Devan Puckett is a rising star in the culinary scene. A well known chef with his own cooking show, he lives and breathes meats and vegetables, grains and fruits...and his years-long rivalry with Ori Wilson. Ori Wilson is a confident omega. Sassy and irreverent, he's not about to let any alpha show him up...especially not Devan Puckett. He's been overshadowed by that particular alpha enough - first in culinary school, and then by Devan's commercial success.

Sheriff Brady Schell has never allowed himself to fall in love. He's never so much as been with another man - it's too risky. Ever since he was abandoned as a baby for being an omega, he's understood that to allow yourself to get close to someone means to put your emotional safety on the line. Now 36 and unbonded, his omega instincts are pulling at him, urging him to find a lover - and if he's truthful with himself, he's had his eye on the much younger Shane Raynor ever since he wrote Shane his first speeding ticket.
