He's the ambassador for his people and will do anything to ease his sister's burden as pack leader.
Bryce Crae, second in line for the werewolf throne and well-known as the firm and grumpy ambassador for his people, has a new job from his Queen. He is to find a witch and convince her to cast the border spell that protects their village. Unwillingly, he sets off for New York. There, he discovers a shop so infused with magic his senses fail him, and a witch so beguiling he dreams of her every night.
She's saddled with a task she never, ever wanted.
Mae just wants to be free to roam the earth and use her magic for small enchantments to improve her life. But when her cousin drops everything to get married, she unwillingly takes on her failing magic business. She's left with the burden of keeping a failing business afloat and keeping it from falling into dangerous hands. When a hot werewolf shows up and offers her five hundred thousand dollars for one spell, she just has to hope she actually has what he's looking for.
Discovering that they're mates will have them both re-evaluating their priorities.
They're mates and they're very compatible, but can they make a relationship work when their duties to their families keep them apart?
A he-falls-first, mating-bond spicy paranormal romance, Bryce is a guaranteed HEA that stands alone. Each book in the series is focused on a different Crae sibling.
Content warnings for a manipulative and verbally abusive family member. This is an 18+ book with multiple sexual scenes.

"Bryce," the second installment in this paranormal fated mates series, delivers an electrifying tale that stands strong on its own. Bryce, a millennia-old werewolf prince, exudes grumpiness as he dutifully serves his pack. Mae, a seemingly young 60-year-old witch, wrestles with her status as a disappointment in the magical community while reluctantly inheriting a shop burdened with debts.
Their paths intertwine as Bryce seeks the missing shop owner to fortify his pack's weakening borders. Mae, desperate to salvage the shop, unwittingly ventures into dangerous territory, leading to unexpected alliances and betrayals. As they journey to Bryce's packlands, their undeniable connection sparks, despite Mae's skepticism about fated mates.
What follows is a whirlwind of passion, genuine connection, and personal growth as they navigate their budding relationship and individual struggles. Bryce's respectful approach to Mae's hesitations regarding their bond sets a refreshing tone, devoid of pressure or guilt. And the steamy encounters between them are nothing short of explosive, underscored by a foundation of mutual consent.
Mae's unwavering honesty about her commitments and aspirations adds depth to the narrative, culminating in a resolution that honors both her goals and her love for Bryce. It's a narrative marvel that deserves wider recognition, leaving readers spellbound from start to finish.
In a sea of paranormal romance, "Bryce" shines as a beacon of excellence, earning its well-deserved five-star rating.
And when Bryce says, “Can I have you for dessert, pretty little witch?” I was literally kicking and screaming into my pillow.

I dont know what Addison puts in these books, but it is seriously addicting. I COULDNT PUT IT DOWN!!!! I loved how Bryce was able to bring Mae out of her shell and appreciate herself. Mae had the streamline thought that she wasn't anything special, but Bryce made sure he proved to her how wrong she was. The tightness of the family and found family was heartwarming. The moon brings out the best in the wolves in the spiciest ways, and I was there for it! I can't wait to see what is next for this family!!

LOVE the Crae Clan
Fast read. Fated mates. How can you go wrong with that? IT’s everything you want in a wolf pack . Protection, respect, love, unity and I’ll burn the world for you mentality.
A.J. writes i a way that pulls you in immediately. There is no ‘waiting for it to get good’, It’s good from the start. Highly recommend this series and all of her future work.
