Pistols & Peonies

Rules have never been my thing. I live on the edge, fight in underground rings, and throw up the middle finger to authority at every opportunity. It’s gotten me in trouble more times than I can count, but I’ve always found a way out… until now. One mistake is all it takes to flip my life upside down. I’m caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, labeled as a rebel, and presented with a choice: enter the pack’s quarterly Pairing and take a mate, or join Alpha’s suicide squad and rot in the Reaper block until a mission takes me out. I choose survival. I choose the Pairing, but I don’t get to choose who I’m bonded to. Commander Kane is Alpha’s favorite weapon, and when his name is called alongside mine, it feels like a fate is worse than death. He’s a physical representation of everything I’ve spent my life resisting– the pack’s lead enforcer tasked with upholding rule and order; the one who makes sure people like me fall in line. But the mate bond doesn’t care about reluctance or resentment. It pulls. It burns. It demands. The more I hate him, the more I want him. The harder I fight, the harder it is to resist. Because somewhere between enemy and mate, there’s something else forming; something dangerous and inevitable that neither of us can control. And with power, politics, and secrets closing in around us, I’m not sure we’ll survive what happens if we give in. Pistols & Peonies is a standalone paranormal romance in the Windy City Wolfpack universe. The books of this series contain mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then these books may not be for you.
