**Complete**
Chapters 1-49 are the complete story of Maverick and Aspen.
Chapter 50 starts a short novella titled Brynn's Beta and involves two of the characters from Maverick's Mate.
Aspen, a nurse in the local community hospital, cares fiercely for her patients, friends, and family. In spite of a tumultuous upbringing, she’s a strong, independent, and progressive woman. Even in the midst of the pandemic, she remains a devoted nurse and caregiver.
However, when Aspen meets the (devastatingly handsome) grandson of one of her patients, a new supernatural world starts to be revealed. As a normal, will she be able to cope with all the changes? Will she embrace this strange, but sensational, new world? Can she fit in? Is it possible to set aside her pre-conceived notions of how the world works? Can she accept the unforeseen passion that’s walked into her life? Is yes possible?
Maverick’s Mate is a stand-alone shifter romance with no cliffhangers, no cheating, plenty of heat, and (hopefully) a happy ever after. If you’re looking for a fun afternoon read, this is the book!

I looked up and met his stunning dark green, almost black eyes (such a unique color) as I took a step back. His hands fell down to his sides, but he didn’t move.
“I … uh,” I swallowed and took a deep breath to regain my composure, “here’s your phone.” I extended my hand to give the phone back.
“Thank you.” He stuck his hand out, “I’m Maverick, Maggie’s grandson.”

I ended up going back to my room because I needed a minute to catch my breath and process.
Heading back to my room was a mistake, I barely slept and tossed and turned until 4 am when I finally texted Stu. His little cabin was a five minute walk from the pack house and he was waiting at the open door when I walked up. I……
