Alpha Wolf: Jason
Kaz Crowley - 2018
So when he meets a billionaire who claims that they're fated mates, he can't believe the gorgeous alpha. Alpha Jason Marks knows what he wants and isn't afraid to get it. The shy yet feisty omega is his and he knows it. But Jason's wealth is a lot for Rudy to handle, and the two clash. Things get worse when Jason's parents accuse Rudy of being a gold-digger. Rudy realizes he's stuck in a dead-end job, and he doesn't want to be dependent on the charismatic alpha. On top of that, Jason's struggling to show his overbearing father than he's an alpha who can take care of himself. Add in Jason's four meddling younger brothers, and the alpha has a lot on his plate. Can he prove to Rudy that he's not just another snooty billionaire? Will Rudy find the love and family he's always dreamed of? And will either man truly open his heart to what's destined to be true? Alpha Wolf: Jason is the first in a steamy new mpreg romance series centered around five wolf brothers who find their fated mates. Each couple gets a HEA, but the books are best enjoyed in order.
