Risky Bargains — J.C. Diem

Alex has not only lost the man she'd hoped would be her mate, she's also now stuck with an alpha werewolf. Heath Franko has joined the Shifter Squad and he's determined to seduce her. The rookie has no chance of winning her over, but that won't stop him from trying. At least Alex isn't the only one who despises the alpha hole. The entire team wants him gone. Crowmon uses his talents as a trickster god to prank Franko. He hopes to drive the arrogant newbie into quitting voluntarily. The alpha is too stubborn to take the hint that he isn't wanted. It'll take something drastic to make him leave the squad. Needing to know the real reason why Jax left, Alex tracks him down when they're on a mission near his base. She has a hunch that it wasn't his choice to leave the team. She'll have to keep her visit to him a secret from most of the squad. Yas and Emma are the only ones she really trusts. Even they aren't aware of the bond she has with Jaxson Remington.
