Sixteen years of being the perfect weapon. When the Ashvale Alpha sends her to infiltrate the Blackwood coalition under cover of an arranged mating, the mission is simple: map the vulnerabilities, report to her handler, and create the conditions for Ashvale to seize control of the alliance. Then she meets the enforcer. Rhett Blackwood hasn’t smiled in twelve years. He hasn’t been touched. He hasn’t let anyone close enough to try. He spends his nights reading Neruda, pressing wildflowers between love poems, and writing unfinished sentences in margins about a feeling he’s convinced he’ll never have. She puts him on the ground in four seconds. He looks up at her and thinks: oh. Now the weapon is falling for the target. The enforcer is falling for the spy. She’s stealing his poetry and writing confessions in his margins, and every day the mission dies a little more—replaced by morning training sessions that feel like foreplay, a man who breaks doorframes when he’s jealous, and the terrifying discovery that the first free choice she’s ever made is him. The weapon does not think. The weapon does not feel. The weapon is in catastrophic trouble. TEETH & THORNS is Book Two of The Blackwood Pack series—a dark paranormal shifter romance featuring a scarred enforcer who reads love poetry and presses wildflowers, an assassin who steals his book and writes back, arranged mating as espionage cover, sparring as foreplay, terrible coffee as a love language, and a wolf named Gerald who wags exactly once per visit. Content note: This book contains explicit sexual content, violence, references to child soldiers, past trauma, and an enforcer who expresses romantic interest through structural damage to architecture. For mature readers. Can be read after Fang & Fury (Book 1). less
