The Soul Mate

Two wolf shifters reunite after a steamy night they thought was in the past in this spicy omegaverse romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson.

Single mom and omega Ada Langley has been trying—and failing—to forget the sexy alpha from the bar that she went home with six months ago. So when a trip to the tattoo shop means being surprised by none other than that same alpha, she’s understandably thrown for a loop. Afraid to risk her feelings on an alpha again after one left her heart shattered, Ada wants to keep that night a secret—and in the past.

After years of apprenticing in New York, alpha wolf Levi Madden has moved back to his hometown to open a tattoo shop. He’s done his best to let go of that night with the omega from the bar, but he can’t shake the lasting impression she left before disappearing the morning after. When Levi’s aunt recruits his artist alter ego to help save her gallery—the very same one where Ada works—fate gives him a chance to get to know Ada for real this time and, if he’s lucky, win her over.

Working together while trying to avoid the growing feelings that took root all those months ago proves difficult, but with every moment spent together, it becomes obvious that Levi is perfect for Ada in every way. Even as guarded as Ada is, it’s not long before they both start to wonder if their chance encounter has led them to their soul mate.
