Vigilante Alpha by Denise Baer

Vigilante Alpha by Denise Baer

From a human trafficking site to a werewolf community, one of the saved victims is the Alpha’s fated mate.

LARC

Since my father died and I took over as Alpha of the Steelclaw Warriors Pack, we started working with the FBI to take down human traffickers. During a recent mission, we saved ten women from the skin trade. My Goddess, I’ve waited my whole life to find my fated mate, and it turns out she’s one of the recent victims.

A human.

My mother and my Beta don’t think Ivy is Luna material. They believe the needs of the pack come first, and that I should choose another mate. A mate who isn’t human, or broken beyond belief.

But from the moment I laid eyes on her, I refused to give her up.

Mine!

IVY

The day I took my first breath; my mother took her last. Because my father blamed me for taking away the love of his life, his dislike of me was prevalent throughout childhood. At the first available opportunity, I fled to my boyfriend’s place. Years later, he tired of me, so he sold me as a sex slave to the highest bidder.

After years of abuse, my soul is shattered. I’m no good to anyone, let alone this earth.

The man who saved us offered me a home, except nothing could prepare me for when I find out I’m living amongst werewolves.

Once I’m in his arms, I experience a warmth in my soul for the first time.

He’s home.

***

Ivy’s ex-boyfriend wants her back, including the money he lost in the skin trade deal.

Larc and the pack are about to go to war with her ex, who has friends on Capitol Hill.

He’s a dragon King searching for his fated mate. She’s running from a monster who she just can’t escape.

Seraphine thought escaping her abusive husband would end the nightmare, but her past refuses to stay buried.

In the seaside town of Wavecrest, her new found peace is fragile—until Draven walks into her café. He’s impossibly warm, dangerously powerful, and claims she’s his destined mate. His kingdom is dying. Her past is hunting her. And the cult who tortured her? They’re coming to take her back.

In a battle between destiny and free will, can a broken woman learn to trust again? And can a dragon King prove that some fires heal instead of destroy?

Uncovered: An Erotic Angst Romance

About Uncovered: An Erotic Angst Romance

She had hoped to stay invisible.
Instead… she finally became seen.

Forced to relocate to a nudist retreat and shed her clothes—she continued to grapple with weights she’d been carrying for far too long.
She didn’t expect the quiet tension.
Or the way his gaze lingered, slow and unhurried, like he was undressing something deeper than her body.

Every step deeper into nudism strips away her defenses.
Every accidental moment of exposure makes the air feel heavier.
And every unspoken look between them dares her to cross a line she promised herself she wouldn’t.

He never touches her…
But he notices everything she tries to hide.

In this romantic erotic short story, vulnerability becomes temptation, and nudity becomes an invitation—not just to be desired, but to be chosen.

If you’ve ever wanted a fantasy where being seen feels safer than hiding…
If you crave romantic erotica that blends emotional intimacy with steamy tension…
If forbidden attraction, quiet longing, and taboo desire make your pulse quicken—this story is for you.

Set in a secluded nudist retreat, Uncovered explores the intoxicating pull of nudism, the ache of wanting what you shouldn’t, and the courage it takes to let yourself be desired exactly as you are.

She came looking for peace.
He came with a past he doesn’t talk about.
Together, they’re about to uncover something that can’t be taken back.

Inside you’ll find:
• An erotic romance short story
• Nudist and nudism themes
• Taboo attraction and desire
• Steamy tension with emotional depth
• A deeply intimate, female-gaze POV
• Romantic erotica where vulnerability is the fantasy
