Rise to Love — Lynn Hagen

It has been three years since the discovery of nonhumans. Vampires and shape-shifters, commonly known as changelings, have come out, and the world still doesn't know what to do with them. When Dorian is asked over for dinner by a coworker, he has no clue that he has just been nominated as a possible mate to the local werewolf changeling pack's alpha. But before he can fully protest, the government has secretly put together an extermination list, and the alpha is their number one target. Alpha Enrique Marcelo has just turned thirty-five, and his pack insists he find a mate. Rick wants no part, but he gives in, agreeing to choose one of the nominees as his mate. Never before has a human been nominated. But before Rick can decide, three changeling juveniles are murdered, one of them his nephew, and he and Dorian are accused of the crime. They must flee in order to clear their names. While on the run, Rick learns about not only the conspiracy to frame him for the murders, but that the government is secretly putting together a Death Squad to exterminate the entire nonhuman population.
