Spotlight on An Alpha’s Path by Carrie Ann Ryan

Melanie is a twenty-five year old chemist who gas spent all of her adult life slaving at school. With her PhD in hand, she’s to start her dream job, but before she does, her friend persuades her to relax and try to live again. A blind date set up through her friends seems like the perfect solution. Melanie can take one night away from the lab and let her inner vixen out on a fixed blind date – a chance to get crazy with a perfect stranger. The gorgeous hunk she’s to meet exceeds her wildest dreams – but he is more than what he appears and Melanie’s analytical mind goes into overdrive.



Kade, a slightly older werewolf (at over one hundred years), needs a night away from the Pack. Too many responsibilities and one near miss with a potential mate made Kade hide in his work, the only peace he can find. His brother convinces him to meet the sexy woman for one night of fun. What could it hurt? But when he finds this woman could be his mate, can he convince her to leave her orderly, sane world and be with him and his wolf-half, for life?





  Kade could only imagine how she would look with her pale, creamy skin against his darker, bronze skin. Watching her lashes brush her cheeks as she glanced down at her barely touched meal he knew he wanted to kiss any fears or anxiety she carried away.


Mate, I think it’s time to go upstairs. Don’t you?


He couldn’t agree more with his wolf. But he didn’t want to rush her. No matter what happened tonight, they would be going upstairs – that was a guarantee. What they did once they arrived however – was up to the woman in front of him.


“You look as if you have the same appetite as me.” At the sound of his voice, her head popped up from whatever deep thoughts she was thinking. “What do you say we take a walk around the property?”


“Oh, okay. I guess I am just not that hungry tonight.” She smiled sheepishly as she set down her fork and any pretense of enjoying her food.


“Let’s go then, the check’s taken care of, so we can take our time tonight.”


She smiled timidly again and grabbed her wrap and black beaded bag. He fluidly rose from his seat and offered her his hand.


“Where would you like to walk to?” Kade, again, turned down his wolf and waited for Melanie’s reply.


“Our room?”


Her face was still stunning with the shade of beet red it became at her surprising, yet not unwelcome, announcement.


His wolf growled in agreement and preened for attention.


He gave her a smile that promised sinful and wicked deeds.


“That sounds like an outstanding idea, Melanie.”
