An Alpha’s Choice Synopsis:
The Bestselling Redwood Pack continues with the Talon Pack series.
A Broken Wolf. A Fractured Bond. A Fate Denied.
Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She’s never asked for more in life other than to live to take her next breath and to ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception—upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn’t feel their bond.
Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead—and that was before he was an adult and Heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn’t claim as his own. Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could waiting for him.
The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one—ignoring the burning temptation between them—when their people are threatened. With one wrong move, their homes could be destroyed and its up to Finn and Brynn to save them all…if only they could save themselves.

Maybe
the punishment wasn’t quite over.
Maybe
Brynn needed to feel the pain of loss and a never-ending example of what
happened when one crossed the paths of fate and destiny.
Whatever
it was, she’d endure it. She had before, and she would again. But she couldn’t
do it if she had to see Finn at her side and never be able to touch him. Or
worse, touch him and know it would never go past that.
A
touch.
A
caress.
Never
anything more.
He
took a step forward, and she froze. What was he doing? He reached out and
tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She could scent him; that spiciness
that made her think of exotic, dark things that she shouldn’t be thinking of.
“I’m
sorry,” he whispered.
She
blinked, a jagged tear slicing through her once again.
He
was sorry?
Sorry?
Of
course, he was fucking sorry. What else would he be?
“Sorry?”
she croaked. She cleared her throat and raised her chin. She was better than
this, better than a broken shell of a woman who couldn’t hide the pain inside.
“Sorry for what? Kissing me? Or thinking that I could ever want you?”
Lie.
All
lies.
But
what was the alternative?
The
words burned on her tongue, and the shock in Finn’s eyes at her tone—or maybe
it was her words—told her she’d gone too far. But she didn’t care anymore. Not
when he’d been hurting her for the past year.
He
couldn’t kiss her and make her want more when she knew they’d never have it.
She wouldn’t let herself live half a life when her wolf craved more.
It
wasn’t fair to either of them.
And,
goddess, if he were to ever find his real mate?
Bile
rose in her throat.
No,
she wouldn’t think about that.
Ever.
Carrie Ann Ryan Bio:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
