Howling
Skyler Snow - 2020
In the city of Detroit, everyone is either an alpha, beta, or omega. That includes Leland and his boss, Nicholas. The only difference is that they’re not quite human, and shifters have troubles no one else can understand. Nicholas needs someone to pretend to be his fiance so he doesn’t have to enter into an arranged marriage. Leland could use the money his boss is offering for the task. It would just take one weekend, one little deception, and then everything would go back to normal. Lies grow and sparks fly until Leland isn’t sure what’s real and what’s acting. Their animals keep screaming they’re fated mates, but could that be true? And will going through with this farce ruin everything they’ve built over the years? Howling is book 1 in the City Heat Mpreg series. They can be read as standalones with the occasional character making an appearance in other books of the series. Howling is full of sweet moments, a sassy Siberian Tiger, and a very annoyed wolf.
