The Lonely Alpha: Billionaire Stepdad Secret Shifter

"I spent five years moving on autopilot, a hollow shell of a man who got everything wrong. But the moment my stepfather touched me, the ice in my chest turned to liquid fire."At seventeen, Clive Mathew had a future. He had a girl he loved, a baby on the way, and a chance to finally make his demanding mother, Jessica, proud. Then, a blinding winter blizzard and a twisted heap of metal stole it all in a single heartbeat. For five years, Clive has lived as a ghost, dragging himself through the motions of a life he didn't want, failing his way through university, and hiding behind a numb, grey fog.When his mother suddenly passes away, Clive is left entirely unmoored. Lost and desperate for a steady anchor, he returns to the quiet, isolated upstate estate of his stepdad, Jim.Jim is everything Clive isn't, solid, silent, and unbreakable. He is the standing tree Clive desperately needs to lean on.But Jim is harboring a dark, visceral secret. He isn't just a quiet billionaire who prefers the dirt of a carrot patch to a corporate boardroom. He is a powerful Alpha rabbit shifter. And right now, he is fighting a losing battle. With his late wife gone, the frantic, high-adrenaline beast in his chest is running wild, his control thinning to a single thread as a brutal, high-heat mating cycle takes hold of his body.
