Heat Rising — Jessica Lee

Landry Michaels, lead enforcer for the KinKaid pack has a secret. Well…make that more than one. He's in love with the alpha's sister, Rosa. And his best friend, Kaleb. It wouldn't be so bad if having either of them was in the realm of possibility. Landry's past, and his present, contain one too many stains, making him a bad fit for the pack's beauty. And when it comes to Kaleb… The fact the male is straight is only the beginning of why he's “hands off”.

Kaleb Dalton is a male who has it all. A great family. A job that allows him to work every day with his best friend, Landry. Everything should be perfect, right? Except for the fantasies about his partner that plague his days, and the desires for Rosa that taunt him in his dreams. Two people, if he had half a brain, who should not be on his short list for potential lovers.

Ever since she was a little girl, Rosa Kinkaid has had Landry and Kaleb's attention, but it was never anything serious. They were friends. Besides, there had always been plenty of time for her to choose a lover -- a mate. Her family needed her, and they came first. Until now... Rosa's going into heat.

But that's not her only problem. The KinKaid and Gregorson pack are on the verge of war, and there are long-buried family secrets, feelings, and hidden desires rising to the surface along with Rosa's heat. Some will be shocking, and others, more disturbing than any of them are prepared to handle.
