Synopsis

Their bond is heaven on earth…but it could tear their pack apart.

Ethan Jager is forced to hide behind a false identity as his pack mates suffer under Michael Tanner’s rule. It’s not his choice; he was born broken, without the primitive urge to breed driving him to pick a mate.

While his wolf sleeps, his heart has chosen for him: Noah, widower and fellow pack dominant.

Everything changes the day Hannah Kagan smiles at him. Lust awakens his wolf–a first. Hannah is beautiful, loyal, kind, everything an alpha male should want. And mating her will allow him to reclaim his pack. It will also leave his soul with a giant hole when he’s forced to rip Noah out of his life.

Hard choices are required of alpha males, but choosing which lover to let go is one Ethan refuses to make. The alternative will not only change the pack, but transform their world…if he can keep his mates alive long enough to claim them both.

Warning: Contains an alpha male whose wolf doesn’t like to share his toys, a dominant female who’s nobody’s plaything, and a beta male who doesn’t roll over for anyone. Also: speed dating, werewolf style. Band-Aids required

One steamy ride to HEA

How could you turn away from the only person you have loved with your whole being for decades?  This is a question Ethan is forced to ask himself when he meets his True Mate, Hannah.  He’s left confused and fighting choices that must be made for the sake of his pack.  While same-sex matings have been recently recognized in other packs they are not accepted in the Tanner pack.  Without the mating of a strong alpha pair, Ethan has no hope of reclaiming his pack, a pack taken by Michael Tanner the night Ethan was born and his parents died.  Not only is Hannah the promised salvation of his pack, but he has grown to love her as much as he loves Noah.  But when push comes to shove, Ethan knows what his choice must be.  But how is he to tell Noah? As Michael Tanner continues to decimate the pack and lead it into ruination the time to act has reached critical mass.  The time to act is now!

Hannah Kagan recognized Ethan as her True Mate from the moment their eyes first met.  They’ve met numerous times over the past six months and yet he still pushes her away with flimsy excuses.  Impatient for recognition, Hannah pushes Ethan’s limits with a ploy that sets off his jealousy.  With a mating finally within her grasp, Hannah is eager to be claimed when she reaches her maturity with the next full moon.  Then fate deals her a double whammy.  Hannah has not one but two True Mates and Noah isn’t willing to give up either of his mates.  But how is Hannah supposed to bridge the impossible between these two alpha males when every  instinct for a wolf says that their mate is theirs alone?  Wolves don’t share.  How will she ever be capable of keeping the two alphas she loves from attacking each other?  Is there any way to keep one True Mate while having a mate of the heart as well?  Noah seems to think so.

Years ago Noah mated Mindy and gave her a piece of his soul.  Then his hot head set him upon a course of challenging the alpha, a course that saw Mindy murdered.  Years later he is deeply in love with Ethan and knows he is his mate of the heart.  Then he runs into Hannah outside a bar and knows she is his True Mate… a day late and a dollar short as the saying goes because Noah can never claim her as a True Mate after having mated Mindy.  That doesn’t mean he’s willing to give up either Hannah or Ethan… no, he’ll do what it takes to bring his reluctant alpha-to-be around to his way of thinking… and Noah is thinking a triad is just what the spirit wolf has ordered up.

Everything hinges upon Ethan challenging Michael Tanner for the alpha position and mating Hannah.  But the best-laid plans are just that… plans.  Reality is so much more dangerous and difficult.  The depravity they suspect of their alpha is just the tip of the iceberg for how low he has sunk.  It’s going to take some quick thinking and maneuvering to pull off their coup.  Lives are on the line.  But anything worth having is worth fighting for.

Shared for Love is full of hot steamy ménage loving.  Hannah, Ethan, and Noah face ample action, danger and suspense on the way to HEA, all the elements I love.  Par for the course I’m left impatient for more.

Excerpt

“Are you done imagining what I would look like naked, or do you want me to stand here longer?” His rough voice zinged through her, setting her on edge. Not in a bad way. Awareness settled low. She ignored the instant arousal and yanked her gaze to his face. Green eyes framed by dark lashes snared her attention.

She inhaled sharply. Never before had she seen a shifter with green eyes. The rare gene offered power, just as the combination of her black hair and blue eyes gifted her with strength.

She let her gaze map his face as she had his body. Dark blond hair set off the deep emerald color of his eyes and framed a harsh face, but his shaggy locks softened his features. She doubted he’d styled it on purpose for the effect. The uneven ends gave the impression he’d hacked it off with scissors and didn’t give a shit if it looked nice or not.

The shadow of his beard added to the image of indifference. The uneven growth covered his cheeks, chin, and neck. Her fingertips itched to touch his jaw and see if the stubble had reached the point of softness or if it would tickle her skin and make her squirm. She curled her fingers and fought to contain her runaway thoughts. They weren’t appropriate, especially after being in Ethan’s arms. She swore she could still smell him on her skin.

The Tanner wolf chuckled, breaking the trance he’d cast over her. She tore her attention from the cleft in his chin to his eyes.

“Hello, little Hannah Kagan. What brings you to this shithole town?”

She took a step forward, anger replacing the lust. “Don’t ever call me little.”

The growl to her voice shocked her. It took the Tanner wolf by surprise too. His smirk faded instantly, and his cocky stance eased. He tilted his head and studied her as if seeing her for the first time. Something flashed in his green eyes. Respect, maybe? She didn’t know. Didn’t care. She took another step.

“And why I’m here is none of your fucking business.”

AboutTheAuthor

A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s a knight in shining armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in distress in her stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women strong enough to match them and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional roles in romances because her motto is—love and people should never be forced to conform to anyone’s norm.

She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research but now focuses on ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for her as she’s the first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her own knight in shining armor who understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They reside in Pennsylvania with their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other interests include tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things spooky and sexy.
