About this book
She's a healer with a haunted past; he's an enforcer that wants a chance to prove to his mate that she's worthy of his love.
Nineteen-year-old Samantha, a resilient healer with a haunted past, finds solace in her work at the healing clinic, determined to overcome the darkness that lingers. When an unexpected opportunity arises to aid two pregnant she-wolves in another pack, Samantha embraces the chance to escape her past.
What she can't escape is Wyatt, the charismatic and loving shifter, who despite knowing Samantha is his mate, has patiently respected her healing journey from a distance. However, his restraint is shattered when he discovers that his alpha sent Samantha away while he was on a mission. Fueled by a burning determination, Wyatt shows up, making a bold public claim of Samantha in front of the entire pack.
As Wyatt's fun-loving exterior collides with his fierce protectiveness, Samantha is thrust into a world where her past clashes with the promise of a secure future. Wyatt is unwavering– Samantha is his, and he'll stop at nothing to protect her. The challenge lies in convincing Samantha that she is worthy of the love and devotion he offers, despite the lingering scars of her past.
The strength of their love will be tested until the shadows finally make way for the radiant light of a new beginning.
If you like fated mates, protective males, and strong females, this series is for you. This is a closed-door romance series with sizzling tension and fade-to-black scenes. Each book is a stand-alone and features a different couple but is best enjoyed as part of the series.

I loved both the wolves of the northwest and the spin-off healers series. AJ Manney writes the perfect escapist fiction for my taste. No complex world building or dozens of characters to meet, just the right amount of plot and character building to keep me interested, get me invested and cheer for the characters. I guess we admire the same character traits. Has made me appreciate my husband even more, he is not a werewolf or an athlete but has been beyond loyal for almost 33 years. Yes, there...

This series and the healer series following ( they all tie together) is AMAZING!!! My daughter bought me the paperbacks for Christmas ( yes, I still love my Kindle) as I said I miss real books :-) I picked up the first 4 and read one a day, I could NOT get enough, so I ordered the healers. I Can't wait for September to get the last one. I am sad they are ending as I have loved getting to know these packs!! A.J. I have some ideas to keep them going... )

I don’t really like the first person narrative style as much as the style in her previous books. Personal preference, that’s all. )

I really enjoyed the hero in this one. He used sweet words and made his feeling obvious! But he was also so funny. His little side comments were so cute! He would do anything to protect her but also let her make up her own mind, and whether he liked what she decided or not, he stood behind her to support her. She was great to but he was my absolute favorite. His family was great also. I loved his mom, Mary, and her feelings on skinny cooks made me laugh out loud! ) One person found this helpful

This book is so good, I couldn't put it down. The whole series was great. As soon as I finished one I had to buy the next and keep reading. This author is fantastic and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend reading the series and any series after this one. I read the series before this one, and I will definitely be buying the rest of the books as I am told by my best friend that this series goes on to the healers and their stories. My best friend bought my first book from the last...
