Alpha Defender — Terry Bolryder

A full-length, standalone romance from bestselling author Terry Bolryder. Note, this a romance between a male and a female, not two males! As heir to the ruling family in the wolf world, Matt Wolford has it all. Except that He is actually a she, raised as a male when her father had no sons. And now that her father has chosen an actual male for the position she should have had, she finds herself disowned and on the run, headed straight into the arms of her only option for protection. Thornton "Thor" Wilder has come up in the world since Matt last saw him. He's now alpha of a strong pack and just looking for the right she-wolf to help him continue to rebuild. The last thing he expects on his doorstep is the entitled heir to the powerful tribunal. But he owes Matt a favor, so he begrudgingly agrees to help. That is, until Thor discovers that "Matt" is actually "Lacey", a rare and powerful alpha female who could be just the right mate. Now sexy Thor has more than pack business on his mind, and Lacey is discovering there are some hot, steamy benefits to being a female. But with danger hot on her heels, will Thor be able to convince Lacey that he's strong enough to protect her from whatever is coming? Or will the independent she-wolf run away to protect him and his pack, throwing away the only shot at happiness either of them has?
