Becoming The Chief

ALPHAS ARE NOT BORN, THEY ARE CALLED. Ryan, aka The Chief, has his hands full. While he would love nothing more than to lose himself in his new mate, an alpha's job is never done. He has to remind himself daily why killing his ex-best friend is a bad idea. That damn cat shifter is still strutting about his turf, calling his crew to war. He’s suddenly playing host to a pack of wolves who arrive unannounced for a BBQ. And to top it all off, his sassy mate is keeping one heck of a secret, leaving Ryan no choice but to torture it out of her in the most pleasurable way. With the ghosts of his past getting tangled up in his future, The Chief is left wondering ... Why did he even agree to be alpha of The Phoenix Crew again? Becoming The Chief (Book 1.5 of the Phoenix Crew) is a full length novel (approx. 73k words) and written for mature audiences (18+ only please!) It includes explicit sex scenes, frequent cussing, and hot growly alpha males bumping up against sassy, female heroines who can hold their own. Get ready for firefighting bear shifters, phoenix shifters and pyro-kenetic, psychic powers, oh my! AUTHOR’S NOTE: While the Phoenix Crew is a paranormal shifter romance series with lashings of suspense, magic and steam—and strong urban fantasy influences—Becoming The Chief is an origin novel designed to fill out the backstory of how the Phoenix Crew came to be together under their alpha. But don’t fret, book devourers, I’ve packed plenty of steam and heart-throb into these pages too! The dual-timeline also allows us a sneak peek into the weeks following Mackenzie and Ryan’s explosive mating (see what I did there?!) and the turmoil of crew life after the troubling events of Pyro, Pyro, Burning Bright. READER BEWARE. This book is a continuation of the series so it contains spoilers. Best read in series order: Book 1 - PYRO, PYRO, BURNING BRIGHT Book 1.5 - BECOMING THE CHIEF Book 2 - DOUBLE THE PRIDE, DOUBLE THE FALL (coming soon!)
