Loved!
I loved reading Grant and Frankie's story. Two Alphas from different territories, NY and NJ, one is a man, one is a female.
Frankie is the Alpha of New Jersey. It was passed down to her when her mom dies and Frankie has no plans of marriage or children. She runs her family owned Italian restaurant with her brothers.
Coming home from work, she accidentally hits a naked man who stumbled in front of her car. She immediately panics and calls her brother for help; but only gets his voicemail. Realizing that he's a Lycan, she drags him inside her house so he doesn't get seen. The man mumbles that he's been drugged and he can't see. When her brother shows up after the man starts kissing her, she leaves the Lycan before her brother gets suspicious. Frankie has 4 brothers, and only 1 of them is Lycan. Her mom's second marriage was to a human, so the 3 half brothers are human. Dante, the Lycan, is the one who shows up and scents the air, immediately realizing what his sister was doing. But it's one of the younger boys who recognizes who is passed out. The billionaire/CEO/Alpha of NY Grant Anderson.
Frankie immediately remembers that she met his sister at her "coming out" lycan ball. She goes online and searches for Alynna's old PI company and calls her.
Grant remembers very little, but he does remember kissing Frankie. So he shows up at her restaurant 4 nights in a row trying to win her over. He talks Alpha business about the mages becoming more hold and how the council has been ignoring them. But when he tries more intimate matters, Frankie rebuffs him.
Then Alynna plays matchmaker and invited her to her newborn's welcoming party. But when she gets there, she finds out that its Grant's mom, Callista, birthday. And Grant got a suite for them that night.
Grant doesn't realize how much hurt and distrust she has with men. He also doesn't realize who his true enemies are, because they share the same skin as he does. But when they harm Frankie, nothing will get in his way to save her or avenge her.
A must read!
