She was left on a doorstep with nothing but a note that said *take care of my little bird.* Twenty-six years later, Brynn Hartwell is still waiting for somewhere to belong — until the night a monster drags her out of the only life she has ever known and a king pulls her back from the edge of death.

A king with golden eyes and a grief so old it has become his entire personality.

A king whose animals recognize her before he is willing to admit it.

A king who swore, over his dead mate's blood, that he would never love again.

He should have told that to the Moon Goddess.

Kaelan Thorne has ruled the hidden kingdom of Vaeloria for seven years with an iron fist and a broken heart. His twin brother Darien — the man who murdered their father, slaughtered Kaelan's bonded mate, and vanished into exile with an army of rogues — has never stopped hunting for a weapon powerful enough to take the throne. When Kaelan pulls a dying human woman from the darkness and carries her into his kingdom, he tells himself it is duty.

His wolf, his bear, and his lion tell him something else entirely.

Brynn is sharp-tongued, stubborn, and absolutely certain she wants nothing to do with a brooding supernatural king who thinks keeping her captive counts as keeping her safe. But Vaeloria does something to her that no city, no hospital ward, no gray-walled orphanage ever did — it feels like hers. And Kaelan, infuriating and magnetic and desperately trying not to look at her the way he looks at her, feels like hers too.

Then the Blood Moon rises. And everything Kaelan has been holding together with duty and denial comes apart in the best and most terrifying way possible.

But Brynn is not just a woman who wandered into the wrong parking lot. She is the last Phoenix — a being of ancient, devastating power that Darien has been hunting for years. The attack, the bite, the careful orchestration that brought her to Vaeloria — none of it was an accident. And now that her powers are awake and her bond with Kaelan is sealed, Darien is coming to collect what he believes belongs to him.

*Born for the Alpha* is a full-length paranormal romance that delivers everything readers love about the genre and refuses to apologize for any of it — a heroine who saves herself and her king, a brooding alpha brought to his knees by a woman he never saw coming, a richly built supernatural world, a love story forged in fire and sealed in blood, and a happy ending that is completely, unambiguously earned.

If you love fated mates, powerful heroines, kingdoms built on magic and moonlight, and alpha heroes who are absolutely wrecked by the women they were always meant to love — *Born for the Alpha* is your next obsession.
