Sawyer by Fel Fern

Casey Mills is in a serious bind. All he wants is to make his dog grooming business in Pecan Pines a success. But with his werewolf landlord raising the rent and showing an unsettling personal interest, Casey’s not sure who to turn to. Life in this seemingly peaceful town is more complicated than it looks, with unspoken tension simmering between the humans and the local werewolf pack. Casey’s about to find out just how complicated when Sawyer Brooks walks into his store—cradling an adorable dachshund—and turns his world upside down.
For Sawyer, life hasn’t been easy since his former alpha shattered both his leg and his confidence. He’s been struggling to rebuild, to find his place in the pack again, and now he’s got Benny—a tiny sausage dog gifted by his brother—as a new responsibility. Just when he’s starting to wonder if he can manage to take care of Benny while barely holding himself together, he walks in—Casey, the irresistibly charming human with a heart of gold and an immediate claim on Sawyer’s heart.
The problem? Sawyer isn’t the only wolf with his eyes on Casey. With a rival lurking in the shadows, ready to make his move, Sawyer will need to conquer his insecurities and step up to protect what’s his. Because from the moment they met, Sawyer knew Casey wasn’t just a casual crush—he’s his fated mate.
