informed her.
    “Really?”
    “Younger than Dylan and RJ. He works at the paper with Max. Max says he’s quiet and keeps to himself. Nice and wicked smart.”
    “So both the brothers already work in town?” That was good information. If she wanted to protect her brother, she needed as much information as she could find on them.
    “Yep, why? What are you going to do?” Sabrina asked with a nervous laugh.
    “I don’t know yet.”
    “Well, whatever you do, it has to be quick,” Sabrina told her, standing. “Not everyone wants a challenge, but if there is one, sides will be drawn. Brandon would have the entire town on his. That’s a lot of pressure.”
    Picking up the mugs and a few plates from the kitchen, Nikki agreed silently. If she was going to help, she needed to get started.

Chapter Five

    RJ was impressed with the number of articles written by Nicole B. Stratton. She had travelled to several countries, writing about what she saw and bringing awareness to the many cultures that were ignored around the world. It was obvious the woman was good at what she did and truly enjoyed it.
    It also raised the question—why would she put that on hold to come back home? Why now? And would she be leaving soon?
    The last question was purely personal. He wanted to see more of the woman and knew one taste of her was not going to be enough.
    The alarm on his watch beeped and he glanced at the time. It was already late morning and he needed to get into town to open his shop, even if the people who came in the shop only wanted to check out the new Alpha’s brother.
    He stuffed the articles in his top desk drawer before logging off his computer.
    He showered quickly before dressing in a faded pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. His custom boots and jacket followed. Locking up behind himself, he wondered what Nikki was doing that morning.
    If she hadn’t known who he was the night before, surely she did by now. It might make it more difficult to get closer to her but he was a determined man.
    He wouldn’t trade on his feelings for her to get information on her brother, but a woman with the integrity to write the articles he’d read couldn’t be behind a hostile takeover.
    And a challenge would be just that. Cameron had chosen his brother to lead the Pack. It angered him that the old Alpha’s wishes were not being respected, in addition to the fact that he wouldn’t stand for any threat against his family.
    The hum of his bike was loud in the quietness of the yard. He drove slowly and carefully towards town. Brandon Stratton had already pulled him over once. It had been a tense battle of strength between the two men. RJ knew the sheriff had been testing his control. Pushing his buttons to see what he would do.
    He had managed to hang onto his wolf and not give the sheriff what he wanted. After taking the speeding ticket, he had been almost certain he’d briefly seen respect in Brandon’s eyes but couldn’t be sure.
    He took the side streets until he reached the back alley in which he parked. He entered his shop through the back door and flipped on the lights. The shop remained neat and clean from the night before.
    His footsteps echoed as he crossed the front entry to the windows and doors. He opened the blinds, letting the bright sunlight in to gleam against the stainless steel countertops. He was just reaching for the ‘Open’ sign when he spotted her.
    She crossed the street with long, confident strides. He smiled as he watched her. She was dressed in almost identical style to his. Faded jeans, a snug, fitted black T-shirt, with black sneakers. Her long hair was pulled back in a ponytail and he could almost imagine hanging on to her hair as she went down on him. His cock rose and he licked his lips in need.
    He wasn’t surprised when he realised she was heading in the direction of his shop.
    Everything he had learnt from the internet made him think she would attack any problem head on. Hopefully he could get her on
