[The Reed Sisters Duet Book 1] Cheryln Reed has a dirty secret. She wants a man she can never have, Alpha Nathaniel Cross, her mother’s devoted husband, a powerful alpha, and the man who practically raised her. Nathaniel has always been steady. Controlled. Untouchable. He kept a respectful distance, never once giving Cherry a reason to hope for anything more. Her feelings were her shame, her sin, her burden to bear alone. So she dated boys she didn't want, tried to starve the hunger she had no right to feel, but her wolf never stopped whispering his name. Now 22, Cherry’s world tilts the night her boyfriend abandons her, drunk, scared, and stranded in the middle of nowhere. So she calls Nathaniel, and he comes. But something is different. His gaze lingers too long. His voice drops too low. His wolf prowls beneath his skin, furious at the scent of another man on her. And when he growls that her problem is she keeps choosing boys who don’t know how to treat her right, Cherry’s heart roars. In a reckless, trembling moment, she kisses him. And to her shock, he kisses her back. That single, stolen kiss ignites a wildfire they can’t put out. Now every look is dangerous. Every touch is forbidden. Every night is a battle against a desire strong enough to destroy a family, a pack, and the woman Nathaniel vowed to love. If Cherry gives in, she risks losing everything: her future, her mother, and the man she’s loved in secret for years. But if she walks away, she’ll lose the only thing her wolf has ever truly claimed. Some temptations were never meant to be survived.
