Claimed, At Last - A Steamy Second-Chance Fated Mates Romance #989579

Vivienne has spent thirty years being the person who closes the impossible case and leaves before anyone can need her permanently. She did not plan on the case being a wolf pack, or the man being its Alpha.

She is brought to Thornfield territory to finish what her agency started, tracing the last remnants of a decade-spanning criminal network, and to do it quickly, cleanly, and without becoming attached to a single soul in the process. Thaddeus has led this pack for thirty years on exactly one rule: a good Alpha puts himself last, always, permanently. He buried the one chance he ever had at choosing differently before he was thirty. He is not looking to be tempted into wanting something for himself again, especially not now, with a rival circling his succession and a woman who is only ever passing through.

Neither of them accounts for the bond. Neither of them accounts for how quickly a temporary assignment starts to feel like the first place either of them has wanted to stay in decades.

What they cannot outrun is a pack rival who has found exactly the wrong ally, and a network everyone assumed was finished with them. Thad will have to choose between the only kind of strength he has ever trusted and the woman standing in the middle of it. Vivienne will have to decide if thirty years of leaving before she can be left is a habit worth keeping, or a life she is finally ready to set down.

Claimed, At Last is a steamy second-chance fated mates romance about two people who spent their whole lives choosing duty over themselves, and the one case that finally asks them to choose both.
