Scorch by Ophelia Sexton

Her connection to an enemy wolf shifter is forged in flame

Tamara’s pack never let her forget she was broken. They despised her because she couldn’t shift, and treated her like a disgrace and a stain on the pack’s honor.
Then Tamara’s own father devised a scheme to dispose of her. An arranged marriage to a wolf shifter from an enemy pack. Betrayed, terrified, Tamara ran away.
Her desperate escape led to a new life. A solitary, secret life, lonely but free from her pack’s cruelty.
Now she works as an NTSB investigator, where her brilliant mind earns her respect. She wants to believe that she’s truly escaped her old life and that her pack, especially her father, will never find her. But when she’s assigned to investigate a plane crash in the shifter community of Bearpaw Ridge, her cruel past returns with a vengeance.
His curvy fated mate hides secrets
When a plane falls from the sky and crashes on Ethan Jacobsen’s ranch, the NTSB investigator who arrives is smart and sassy, with curves that Ethan longs to explore. She’s a fascinating mix of contradictions. On the outside, she’s gutsy and in control. But on the inside, she’s vulnerable. Fragile. And hiding secrets that are tearing her apart.
Right from the start, sparks fly between them, even though she keeps him at arm’s length.
Ethan’s intrigued by her brains and beauty, and his wolf recognizes her as their fated mate. His usual easy-going demeanor gives way to fierce, primal need. Vowing to win her, he joins the crash investigation, determined to court and claim her.
Despite her best intentions, Tamara finds it impossible to resist the attraction that burns between them. And when she uncovers the cause of the deadly crash, the truth puts her in terrible danger from her former pack. Now, it’s up to Ethan to do whatever it takes to protect his vulnerable mate and make sure they both live to see their happily-ever-after.
