Alpha Squad has received its very first assignment and recruit Adam King is excited to jump head-first into the action. When the team arrive in the shifter refugee camp in Sevenoaks to investigate some attacks on the local population, the evidence seems clear: the attacker they are looking for is a shifter. And one in particular keeps popping up in suspicious circumstances; Felicity Weir, who works in the camp. There’s just one catch: Adam’s inner bear insists that Felicity is his mate. Now, he’s torn. How can he help make Alpha Squad’s first mission a success, when he can’t endanger the woman who appears to be their prime suspect?
Bear shifter Felicity Weir has been looking after the shifter refugees camping near Sevenoaks ever since they started streaming in from Europe some months ago. She is determined to serve, to help these displaced people build a new home and future for themselves. Then the attacks began and the mood in Sevenoaks grew more and more hostile toward these newcomers, and by proxy, against her. First it was livestock that turned up dead in the local villages, soon after, human victims started to turn up. All the evidence points toward the refugees, but Felicity cannot accept that one of her kind would be capable of such violence. She has no choice but to take matters into her hands and investigate the deaths herself.
With Alpha Squad and the local police hot on their heels, Felicity and Adam must join forces. Will they be able to prove her innocence before public opinion is irreparably poisoned against the shifters, and their chances for a happy future together are destroyed?

EXCERPT
Never
before had Felicity believed that she needed anyone; not really. She had always
handled her life, both professional and personal, on her own. Sure, she
sometimes confided in her parents. In the past, she'd at times confided in her
ex-best friend, Joy, but none of those interactions had made her feel anything
like what she felt now with Adam. The
memory of their kiss was still fresh. She could still feel a tingle in the
exact spot where his lips had touched hers. Their connection was intense. Not
just because it was new, but because it was real. She'd felt the
bond. She'd heard his thoughts and felt his feelings and felt at one
with him. It
had come to an end much too soon."Ms.
Weir, if you don't mind… I asked you a question!" Detective Nye insisted.She
shook her head and tried to focus. What question? "I'm
sorry?" she stammered. "Why
were you at the camp this morning?" the detective repeated himself. Felicity
frowned at him. Was he serious?"For
the same reason you were, I imagine?" "I
want to hear it in your own words," the man said.She
shook her head in disbelief. Was he being thick on purpose or what? "I
got a call about the fire, and I came as soon as I could. One of the families I
work with, their youngest was stuck inside one of the classrooms. I did my best
to get her out."
"The
child is what, a wolf? Some other animal?" the detective asked.Felicity
was getting more and more frustrated. What sort of questions were these?
"If you must know, shifters don't acquire the ability to transform until
puberty. So technically she would be no different from any human
child."
"And
then?" And then…
The fire had blocked her exit; she feared certain death, but then Adam had
arrived. Surely people would have seen all that? Why on earth ask all these
daft questions?
"Adam
got us out of the building." "U-huh,
Adam, you say. Adam King, member of Alpha Squad and bear shifter, just like you
are, correct?" "I
suppose so," Felicity mumbled. "Right."
Detective Nye went quiet as he made some notes, presumably of her answers. Felicity
tried to compose herself, but instead, her anger flared up. How dare this guy
waste her time as though she had done something wrong? And Adam, as well. He
had saved them. Who the hell did this idiot think he was?"Can
I go now?" she said. "I'm assuming I'm not under arrest for trying to
save an innocent four-year-old, right?" Detective
Nye smiled briefly, though it was obviously disingenuous. His eyes were too
cold and calculating, making his attempt at a smile look more like a grimace. "Good,"
Felicity said and walked off without acknowledging the man any further. She
wasn't quite sure what his deal was, but he really had it in for her. The way
he’d even attempted to twist the rescue of a young child from a fire into
something negative. Obviously, this man had issues and prejudices against her
kind that severely impaired his judgment.

It has only been a few months since humanity has found out about the shifters that live in their midst. When the New Alliance leadership asks Eric King to join Alpha Squad, a joint taskforce supposed to promote cooperation between the shifters and human authorities, his loyalty to the cause doesn’t give him any choice but to agree. But is the squad actually supposed to be relevant, or is it just an eyewash, set up by the new Secretary for Shifter Affairs to make himself look good? And how is he going to concentrate on his training, when his inner bear is insisting that the squad leader is his true mate?
Major Janine Williams is not at all pleased when she is ordered to set up Alpha Squad. The initiative is just a gimmick, meant to pacify the shifter community, plus none of her male colleagues had wanted the job. But when she starts getting to know her team, especially tough East London bear shifter, Eric, she starts to wonder if perhaps it will be possible to make this task force a success, so long as everyone works together. And so long as she can manage to keep her relationship with Eric strictly professional..
