The Doctor's Mates Book 1

Corinthe Davies

Anastasia thrives on chaos, caffeine, and saving lives during long ER night shifts. She expects blood, broken bones, and the occasional miracle, not a secret call that pulls her into a hidden wolf pack with rules of its own. Medicine meets moonlight as instincts stir and bonds snap into place without asking permission. Three powerful wolves circle her world, each reacting differently to the pull they cannot deny. One offers warmth, one offers loyalty, and one clearly wishes she would disappear. Anastasia carries secrets of her own, and staying detached feels safer than trusting fate. But when destiny growls this loudly, can anyone pretend it is not real?
