The Things I Can't Do To You
Amelia Carter only wanted a quiet drink after work. Instead, she found herself trapped by a man who refused to take "no" for an answer.
Luckily, a devastatingly handsome stranger slides into the empty seat beside her, slips an arm around her shoulders, and casually announces, "There you are, sweetheart. I've been looking everywhere for you."
It's the perfect fake-boyfriend rescue.
At least... it was supposed to be.
Jake Harper only meant to save a woman from an uncomfortable situation. He definitely didn't expect the simple contact of his arm around her shoulders to send every instinct inside him into absolute chaos.
Because Amelia isn't just any woman.
She's his mate.
The one person every werewolf spends a lifetime searching for.
The problem? Amelia has absolutely no idea werewolves exist.
Determined to let her fall for him before dropping the biggest supernatural bombshell in history, Jake agrees to keep dating her like a perfectly normal human boyfriend.
There's just one tiny problem. Normal couples hold hands, cuddle, kiss and eventually end up in bed together.
And every innocent touch has Jake's wolf snarling to claim her and make her his forever.
Meanwhile, Amelia is becoming increasingly convinced she's somehow landed the world's hottest commitment-phobe. Why does he freeze every time she reaches for his hand? Why does he practically launch himself off the sofa when she tries to snuggle? And why does the man kiss like he's starving... only to sprint out of the room looking utterly traumatised?
As Jake battles possessive instincts and a secret that grows harder to hide with every day, Amelia is determined to figure out what on earth is going on with her ridiculously attractive, maddeningly confusing new boyfriend.
After all, love is complicated.
Falling for a werewolf is a whole different beast.
