Freedom in the Smokies — Becca Jameson

He's her alpha…and he knows how to push all her hot buttons.

With a vampire still threatening the family, Micah Durham has no plans to follow his brothers into matehood. In fact, he'd prefer not to expose anyone else -- human or shifter -- to the dangers they face.

Yet when he returns from visiting a horse buyer, he's beyond pissed to find his family has hired a new human trainer. A female human trainer whose “I'm your mate” scent steals his power of speech.

Kaitlyn Winston couldn't wait to get out of California, and out from under her grandmother's thumb, to take her dream job in her beloved Smoky Mountains. Except when she attempts to make nice with her new boss, their attraction sends them to his bedroom to make love.

The haze of passion doesn't make their problems disappear, though. The life Kaitlyn left behind throws a left hook that could pull them apart. And the Durham's old enemy is back, stronger than ever, and threatening to pick off the Durhams and their mates…one at a time.

Warning: Steaming hot sex in a tack room, saddles and saw horses put to good use, mutual masturbation, hot showers, and lovers' spats smoothed over with intense make-up sex.
