Rhys by Ashlee Sinn

Rhys Murray has paid his dues. He’s been an alpha, a second, an enforcer, and has donated his land to establish the Eagle Creek crew. All he wants to do is relax and enjoy his new life, even if a small part of him wishes he had someone to share it with. Seeing his friends find mates and raise children has stirred up a familiar emptiness he thought he’d buried a long time ago. Rhys has always been responsible for others which left no room for a mate bond. But when an unruly, dangerous, and captivating wolf from his past shows up in his territory, he starts to rethink his future.
Natasha Dunanski has lived in the shadow of her sister her entire life. Always struggling to fit in, Natasha was the rebel, the bad one, the disappointment. But when she makes a devastating mistake, and her family is forced to deal with the very real consequences, they decide to send her into hiding instead of letting her handle it. Getting thrown into Eagle Creek under the care of the broody and arrogant Rhys Murray is the last thing Natasha needs right now. She’s being hunted, and she doesn’t have time to deal with her growing feelings for the alpha wolf.
The wolves are out for blood and Natasha is their target. Rhys must decide how to best protect those he cares about without spiraling into the dark places of his past. And when Eagle Creek faces an uncertain future, Rhys and Natasha are forced to make a life-changing decision with lasting impacts on all the shifters in Alaska.
