A wounded wolf, a destined bond, and a love worth fighting for.
When Gabe Staley rescues a wounded wolf, he doesn't expect to find his fated mate-and he certainly didn't plan on falling for a brooding shapeshifter with a dangerous past.Gabe has always been a misfit in the small town of Shasta, Texas, but his big heart and fierce determination to protect the vulnerable set him apart. When he crosses paths with Mika Blackwell, a wolf shifter cast out from his pack, their connection is undeniable. Yet love isn't enough to shield them from the threats closing in.
Mika Blackwell lost his pack for being gay, but Gabe makes him believe he's finally found where he belongs. Their bond is undeniable, but in a town ruled by hate, love comes at a price. When Mika's former pack resurfaces-along with the Alpha who cast him out-he's forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind.
With danger closing in and tensions rising, Gabe and Mika must stand together-because some things are worth fighting for, and neither of them is backing down.
Perfect for fans of Charlie Adhara and TJ Klune, Rescued is an action-packed, heart-pounding romance about destiny, love, and the courage to stand together against all odds.
Note: This expanded edition of Rescued has been revised in first-person, present tense for a richer, more immersive experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5-STAR REVIEWS
Ms. Bradford is off to a great start in her Southwestern Shifters series with Rescued. Mika and Gabe are a sexy couple that made for a very entertaining read as they deal with crazy authority figures, rescuing strays, and their developing relationship. I look forward to reading more by this author and the next book in this series. I loved this book. If you love M/M reads then you will love this one. You have two hot guys and one of them is a shifter. Oh the chemistry and sex is so dang hot. The battles and struggles that are faced will keep you hooked. Engrossing Story. Great plot and character development plus the sex were intense, well written and amazing! I will definitely be getting more books from this author and highly recommend this to others.
