Hated by My Mate Spin-off: The Hunter and the Wolf

Nathalie Hooker

"If you know what's good for you, you'll run. You'll stay out of my way." Hector growled, eyes dark with desire.

Evalyn met his gaze evenly, her silver dagger close at hand. "That's what I should be telling you."

Evalyn has one goal: kill the rogue her murdered her family. But things get complicated when a werewolf seems to be hunting the same rogue. Even worse, he's mysterious, skilled, and irresistibly handsome. Evalyn would rather die than join forces with a werewolf...even if he is her mate.

As secrets are revealed and loyalties tested, Evalyn must choose between vengeance and love. Will she embrace her forbidden desire for Hector, or will the ghosts of her past tear them apart? This steamy paranormal romance will leave you breathless as Evalyn and Hector fight fate, foes, and their own passionate nature to find their happily ever after.
