I AM YOUR MATE - Romance novels & stories
Sophie Barton
Serena Vale built her empire with her own hands. She survived betrayal, raised her son alone, and learned the hard way that powerful men rarely give without expecting something in return. Now, someone is trying to destroy everything she's worked for. Her biggest obstacle is Damien Blackthorne, the ruthless High Alpha whose business empire is as dangerous as his wolf. Five years ago, Serena shared one unforgettable night with him before disappearing without a word. She never expected to see him again. She certainly never expected him to be her mate. Damien wants answers. He wants Serena back. And when he discovers she has a six-year-old son who treats him like an incompetent job applicant, he begins to suspect that her disappearance cost him far more than he ever imagined. Unfortunately for Damien, Serena isn't interested in being claimed, controlled, or rescued. She has a company to save, enemies to expose, and a past that refuses to stay buried. As threats close in and a dangerous conspiracy begins to unravel, Serena discovers that her business holds secrets powerful enough to shake the werewolf world. Even worse, her son's strange ability to resist Alpha commands has attracted the attention of people who will stop at nothing to possess it. While Damien fights to protect the woman fate chose for him, Serena must decide whether he is an ally she can trust or another powerful man determined to own her. And Milo? He's busy deciding whether the terrifying Alpha deserves a second interview. But someone is watching them all. Someone who knows why Serena ran. Someone who understands what her son is becoming. And someone who would rather see Serena lose everything than let her uncover the truth. Fate may have chosen her mate. But Serena Vale will decide her own future.
