After catching her boyfriend cheating at her birthday party, Melinda finds herself irresistibly drawn to Pine Ridge University's basketball star Michael Stone. Their explosive one-night stand awakens desires as she lost her virginiy.
"His finger entered me slowly... suddenly touching a spot that made my whole body tremble...I felt like my body might break, like the skin below might tear. I had to bite my lips and keep telling myself I could still take more in order to handle each of his determined thrusts.
But Michael harbors a dangerous secret—he's a werewolf whose inner beast craves her completely. Something about Melinda's mysterious talisman and unique scent drives his primal instincts wild.
As their paths continue to cross in unexpected encounters charged with raw, animal attraction, Melinda must uncover the truth about her own mysterious heritage while battling the burning need that refuses to be extinguished.

Mated to My Captain Alpha
