Except she's not running anymore. She's managed to do the impossible, escape from her sociopath brother and hide away on the outskirts of a nice, sleepy mountain town.It's just her, her kinda-neighbor, Bob (not his real name because she doesn't do names), and the small arsenal she keeps stashed in her cabin, just in case. That is until one snowy night an injured dog (wolf?) finds its way to her front porch offering companionship, an uncanny knack for being able to unlock and relock doors, and a habit of disappearing.Even more unexpected is the intense, insanely hot dude who shows up claiming ownership of her new puppy only to sweep her into the kind of passion she thought had no place in her life. He also brings his own secrets, a hint to her lineage, and a demand that she trust him to keep her safe. less

Along with her sister, she endured years of torment at the hands of her now dead brother, and now that they've finally found a place to call home, thanks to her sister mating with a wolf clan chief, she hopes to finally belong.Except, she doesn't. Not really.While her heritage may hold some hints of the shifters she's come to know and love, the missing pieces leave her feeling as on the outside as before. But hopefully there's a solution to her incomplete genome, a secret she's been working on that can finally give her a true connection to her wolf, in its real form. Is it against clan law? Probably. Does she care? No. She's tired of not being who she truly is.Now all she has to do is realize her plan while under the watchful eyes of not one but two wolves, both of whom have decided she belongs to them and they're willing to share, and the gaze of another who would take everything from her.NB Samiah is the sister of Valeena from Nothing but the Wolf in Me. less
