The Alpha's Reluctant Witch

Hazel Vance has no interest in finding a happily ever after. As the owner of Moonflower Apothecary, nestled on the neutral boundary between human Mistvale and the territory of the Silver Ridge Pack, Hazel is perfectly happy with her quiet life, her magic, and her plants. Then Caleb Blackwood walks into her shop. It doesn't take long for the newly ascended Alpha of the Silver Ridge Pack to recognize Hazel as his mate. And judging by the look on face face, she's realized it, too. But Hazel wants nothing to do with him. Caleb knows he can't force his mate to accept him. But he's not willing to walk away, either. He's determined to show her he will never hurt her the way her mother had been hurt by a wolf shifter. One patient gesture at a time. One stubborn argument at a time. And one undeniable spark at a time. But Hazel has spent years protecting herself from the wolves. Can Caleb convince his reluctant witch that the mate bond doesn't have to end in heartbreak? Because he's determined to show her that sometimes, the magic that scares you most is the magic that saves you.
