Alpha Rising by A.S. Green

Resistance is futile.
After Sarah McAvoy’s heroic efforts to save Reese Fitzpatrick’s family business—the Evergreen Resort & Retreat Center—the mountain lion that prowls beneath Reese’s skin rises to dominance.
It prizes loyalty above all else, and it demands Reese claim Sarah for his own.
But Reese had a front row seat to the heartache that comes from choosing a human mate, and he refuses to repeat his father’s mistake. No matter how brave Sarah proves herself to be.
Unfortunately, the more Reese resists his nature, the more volatile the lion becomes.
And when another man’s threats against the resort devolve into threats against the woman Reese has come to love, the mountain lion rises to make its ultimate move.
It’s the age-old game of “predator and prey,” and only one alpha can survive.
