She didn’t even think about resisting…
When their mouths met, the whole idea of conducting research on her own to avoid him flew from her mind, even as she pulled him even closer.
His hardness against her was irresistible. “Owen,” she whispered against his mouth.
“Good thing we’re in your bedroom,” he said hoarsely. “Or was this why you came in here?”
Despite herself, she laughed a little without pulling back very far. “Believe me, I came in here to avoid this.”
“Nope, I don’t believe you.” He softened his words by deepening the kiss.
Selena moaned against him, even as her most sensitive body parts warmed and tingled in anticipation.
But though she still reveled in her memories of the last time despite recognizing what a bad idea it had been, having sex with Owen again would be an even worse idea…and it was absolutely foolish to even contemplate it here.

My special thanks to my wonderful agent Paige Wheeler of Creative Media Agency, and to my delightful Harlequin editor, Allison Lyons, who have been so fantastic in helping to keep the stories of Alpha Force an ongoing miniseries.
Thanks, too, to writers Leslie Knowles and Ann Finnin, who read my manuscript and gave me some great revision ideas.
And as always, thanks to my amazing husband, Fred, whom I always acknowledge in each of my books because he inspires me.
Like my other Alpha Force Nocturne™ books, Canadian Wolf is dedicated to shape-shifters and the readers who love them.

“I’m still so jazzed!” said Lieutenant Rainey Jessop, clasping her hands under her chin. “Working with Mounties. This’ll be so much fun!”
Lieutenant Selena Jennay sent a wry smile toward her aide. Rainey had been excited from the moment the two of them had first been given this assignment—yesterday. As for herself, she was skeptical. She’d reserve judgment until she better understood the players in this new mission.
She took a seat across from her aide at the table in the small meeting room with gray wallpapered walls, the secluded area to which they’d been shown after arriving at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s northwest Vancouver facility. Her cover dog, Lupe, a canine who resembled a mix between a wolf and a husky, lay beside her.
She glanced at Rainey. “Do you think it’s more fun than working with shapeshifters?”
Rainey looked momentarily shocked, a rare occurrence for the outgoing and chatty young woman. “Hardly. But I’m going to get to work with both Mounties and shapeshifters. Amazing!” She paused, and her smile morphed into a frown as two men in white shirts and blue pants walked into the room. “Although I’d hoped that we’d get to work with Mounties in their gorgeous dress uniforms and tall hats,” she added under her breath.
Selena and Rainey rose to meet the men, smoothing down the
