Odd Mate — Virginia Nelson

USA Today Bestselling author of The Penthouse Prince When a gamer wolf searches for love, only an odd mate will do. Charly spends his days working in a used video game shop and most of his nights as the second to one of the rarest of their kind -- a female Alpha. Most of the pack figured he and Dara had a thing, but her recent mating wakens a wave of unwelcome pity. He can't exactly admit the one wolf he ever loved left him years ago. At least, he can't until she reappears close enough for him to try again. Gretchen fell in love with a sweet, nerdy bear of a man but ran fast and hard from his side when she realized he'd hate her for a genetic twist of fate she couldn't change. Now she's back in town and drawn to his side. A twist of fate leaves her with no choice -- she can be near the man she's always loved again, but at what cost? She must betray him and everything he holds dear. Can a wolf sworn to destroy all coyotes claim a coywolf mate or will he be forced to obliterate the only girl he ever loved?
