Claiming His Mate by Juniper Hart

We have a dark past, and now he is my sworn protector.
My whole life, I wanted to be someone.
Even though my father seemed to think I was destined for failure, I landed myself a coveted, but low-paying job in New York City, away from the drudgery of my hometown.
But the past has a way of catching up with you.
If I wanted to prove myself, I needed to go back to Salem and see this lead through.
The story, I had expected.
Running into Marcel Forrester wasn’t part of the plan, and bittersweet memories of the past leave me both frightened and intrigued.
Now, he is sworn to protect me against a force I hadn’t even known existed, but even the powerful Alpha can’t save me if I don’t want to be saved.
