Synopsis

Astrid loves her new life in Tuscany. She is free from the restrictive boundaries of pack life and able to make her own choices. When her alpha’s brother moves into the flat next to hers, it sets a series of events into place that will change her life forever. Should she flee or face her enemy?

Kendrick can’t believe it when he runs into Astrid in Tuscany. The fiery wolf has always held a special place in his heart. Can he prove to her that he’s different than his brother? Or will he lose her forever?

Excerpt

Astrid sprinted through her house like a mad woman. She was running late, of course, when wasn’t she running late? She overslept all the time. It was the insomnia. Wolves were nocturnal and no matter how much her human half wanted to go to bed, the animal within almost always refused. Hence why she was running late for the third day in a row.

Frazzled, she pulled her long hair up into a messy bun. Satisfied she no longer looked like she’d just rolled out of bed, she pulled on her cardigan. Grabbing her car keys, she rushed out the door. Her boss was nice and not too strict, but she still liked to be on time. The quaint little café she worked at was a tourist hot spot, and she met all sorts of interesting people. By no means was it a glamorous job, but it paid the bills and she enjoyed it.

Rushing out to her car, she fumbled through her keys for the unlock button. She was so caught up that she didn’t see the approaching man until it was too late. Astrid ducked to the right, but not fast enough. Her chest collided with something solid. The breath whooshed out of her as she connected against a firm hard torso. Her car keys flew out of her hands falling a few feet away on the sidewalk. "I'm so sorry," she gasped as she bent down to retrieve her keys.

"My apologies too. It's not every day I get the pleasure of running into such a…" he trailed off as she stood up and their gazes met.

"Oh my God," Astrid muttered as she stared into Kendrick Johnson's brown eyes. Horror filled her as a million questions raced through her mind. The most important one being, what the hell was he doing here? While Kendrick had never personally done anything to her, it was his brother she was running from.

"This is an interesting development," Kendrick smirked at her. He winked at her. "Oh and most people call me Kendrick, but I could be your God."

"What are you doing here?" Astrid glared. Why was he here? At her flat? It couldn't be a coincidence could it? Of course not. He was here on his brother’s behalf. Here to bring her back kicking and screaming to Killian. No. That didn’t seem right. Kendrick and Killian weren’t exactly close. Or they hadn’t been when she’d left. Had something changed? If memory served, Kendrick wasn’t too popular with anyone in his family. Maybe her cover wasn’t blown after all. She could only hope.

"Well as a matter of fact I am staying in my flat," Kendrick said indicating her absent neighbors home.

"That is yours?" she stammered as she stared up at the large flat. Impossible. How could she have been living next to Killian’s brother and not have known it?

"It is," Kendrick beamed. His amber eyes danced with mirth. He’s enjoying this. "It looks like you and I are going to be neighbors. This little trip is getting better by the minute," he continued excitedly.

"Well this is just perfect. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm running late for work," Astrid flustered, glaring at him for a long moment before darting towards her little blue car.

"I suppose I'll be seeing you around," Kendrick called after her.

"I'd really prefer if we didn't," Astrid hollered back over her shoulder. She climbed into her car and quickly locked the doors. Jamming her key into the ignition, she shifted into drive, and mashed her foot down on the accelerator. What was she going to do now? Was Kendrick here for her? Or did he have his own agenda? Damn it, she was just starting to like Tuscany too.

She chanced a glance in her rearview mirror. No one was there. Gripping the wheel tighter, she took in her surroundings. Everything appeared to be normal. Maybe running into Kendrick was a freak occurrence. Maybe she didn’t have to leave. Astrid turned down the road to work. The first thing she saw out of the ordinary, she was hightailing it out of Tuscany.

Another great story from Bethany Shaw, I have read a lot of this authors books and she never disappoints. This was a nice short story. Quick read but had me hooked from the start. I loved the characters and was happy they got their HEA. I'm anxious to read the next book in this series to see what she comes up with next. I was given an ARC for a fair and honest review.

Received this as a free arc in exchange for an honest review. It was a little to short for my taste. But it left you hanging at the end wanting more. And wondering what is going to happen to them and the pack they are on the run from. Can't wait to read more from this author and this series.

A beautiful quick read. Astrid never thought she,d love the brother of th cruel alpha she was running from. Little did she know the brother was also on the run. After saving her life she comes to believe he may not be the enemy after all. They fall in love and live HEA. I loved it perfect for a quick cold winter afternoon read. I loved it.
