But when my government handler sends me to infiltrate a biotech facility and break out two young direwolf shifters, neither one is what I expect.<\/p>\n<p>First comes the male, who doesn&#8217;t transform into an impressionable kindergartner but rather into a very adult man who immediately decides I&#8217;m his to protect. The other is a frightened woman I can&#8217;t stomach relinquishing to my handler to be turned into a tool.<\/p>\n<p>On the run with the direwolves, my platonic mate bond wanes the closer the alpha and I become. Soon, every command I hear forces my body to obey others&#8217; wishes&#8230;terrible timing when both my handler and the facility&#8217;s owner are hot on our heels, eager to weaponize the first direwolves to exist in ten thousand years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/?p=4300\"><em>Read a free sample on my blog,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>or download your copy on the retailer of your choice:<\/em><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4tKKVDy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-398 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/amazon.png\" alt=\"Amazon\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/dating-a-direwolf-aimee-easterling\/1150160335?ean=2940185042403&amp;st=AFF&amp;2sid=Anna%20Hess_8179690_NA&amp;sourceId=AFFAnna%20Hess\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-400\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/nook.png\" alt=\"nook\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/dating-a-direwolf\/id6769119143\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1499 size-full alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/appleicon2.jpg\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details?id=axnZEQAAQBAJ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-399 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/google.png\" alt=\"google\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/dating-a-direwolf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-401\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kobo.png\" alt=\"kobo\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/2029098\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-402\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/smashwords.png\" alt=\"smashwords\" width=\"45\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Also available\u00a0at your local library!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern werewolves think they understand packs.
