Impulse (Southern Arcana)

Sera Sinclaire is a submissive coyote trapped in a town overrun by dominant shapeshifters. She can’t turn away the alphas-in-shining-armor who need her soothing presence–even when their protectiveness threatens to crush her hard-won self-reliance. But when an obsessive ex endangers her life, it’s time to get out of town for a while.

Julio Mendoza doesn’t have the luxury of indulging in a vacation, thanks to his new responsibilities as a member of the wolves’ Southeast council. But protecting Sera from her ex isn’t optional–it’s instinct. Watching her come to life outside the city makes him feel like he’s finally done something right, and her touch ignites a desire he can’t ignore.

Soon, lighthearted flirting turns into a dangerous game of seduction, where every day spent falling into each other is another day of avoiding the truth. Sera’s ex isn’t the only one who’d disapprove of their relationship. There are wolves who would kill to get Sera out of Julio’s life—starting with his own blood kin.
