A Brighter Yellow by Bethany Maines

A scientist, a wolf, and the woods… not all paths leave the forest.

Ochre Lucas ought to stand out—he’s a brilliant environmental scientist, six-foot-five, and Fae-human mix who has to hide his pointed ears—but compared to his sisters Scarlet and Azure, Ochre has always felt lost and overlooked. But when Azure sends Ochre on a mission to save the life of Anna Allanach, a shifter wolf from Virginia, Ochre finds himself attracted to Anna in a way that makes him willing to risk everything for her to notice him. Years earlier, Anna Allanach received a reading from a fortune teller that said the path to true love lay with Liam Grayson and she believed it… right up until the day that Scarlet Lucas, Ochre’s younger sister, became Liam’s mate. Since then, Anna has been on a mission to help wolves connect with human mates, but the deeper she delves into the magic that now separates the wolves from humans, the more at risk she becomes. Anna only trusts her friend the witch, Charlie Peters, but when Charlie goes missing, Anna must turn to Ochre for help. Ochre and Anna hunt for Charlie, but soon find themselves on a desperate mission that could change the lives of Supernaturals everywhere. With lives on the line, Ochre realizes that he’s going to have to tread a new path if he wants to save the girl of his dreams and the future.
