Double or Nothing (Claimed #4)
Christina Mattingly
Alec Kingston has been waiting for years for the right time to claim the human mage who has become his all-consuming obsession. When a wolf shifter named Ryder imprints on her during a brief visit to the small town where her brother lives, Alec is sure she'll reject him and return home, where Alec is waiting with a plan to introduce himself and claim her as his.
When Emma surprises him and accepts Ryder’s claim on her, Alec decides it’s time to act. Defying magical law and his own vow not to live among humans, Alec moves into an apartment above her studio in the guise of a human mage to gain her trust and friendship until he's ready to reveal his true form, and his real intentions.
He was prepared to deal with one man when it came to claiming her affection, now he must contend with two, or risk losing everything he’s worked so hard for. He thought he was up for the challenge, but being so close to her makes him reckless, and Alec has never been reckless. His kind haven't stayed hidden from the world by making rash decisions, but he's willing to burn down the world if that's what it takes to claim her and make her his.
Emma:
Emma Rhodes is an accomplished professional mage who is ready to settle down - provided she can work out how to balance being in a relationship both with Ryder, the jealous wolf shifter who imprinted on her, and James, her long-time lover, best friend, and business partner.
But will Emma be able to live between two men who both agreed to share her, but seem determined to tear each other apart in the meantime?
Only the new stranger who came to town and rented the apartment above her studio seems to understand what she’s going through.
Double or Nothing is an immediate continuation of a story begun in the first book of the Claimed Battle Within by Christina Mattingly.
