No Quarter — Anita Cox

Nala Baker's arranged marriage to Colin has left her with a cordial relationship at best. Haunted by the memories of Jagger's abuse, she struggles to bond with her mate the way she should. Adopting the Gnomes as part of their pack has caused discourse among some pack members, forcing Nala to make difficult choices for the good of the pack. A rival pack issues a no quarter challenge, threatening not only Nala's position as first female Alpha, but her life, potentially causing her new mate to suffer. The Separatists continue their assault, threatening the safety of her pregnant sister-in-law, and new Centaur Queen, Wendy Baker. As the shifter community teeters on the edge of human awareness the danger increases for not only the new school, but for Nala and her pack. Can Nala overcome her fears and allow herself to bond with Colin? Will the presence of the Gnomes scar their pack forever? Will the Separatists reveal shifters to humans, and will that make the school a casualty of a human-shifter war? Can she possibly survive a no quarter battle with a larger, stronger Alpha male?
