For wolf shifter Dmitri Sernov, life bites.
His late-night hunts leave him winded, the twelfth rewrite of his novel is crap, and his last good lay was five drafts ago. He's staring down forty with a creative well as empty as his bed.
The last thing he needs is a beautiful, intimidating, obnoxious pup bent on exposing Dmitri's underbelly...
...and everything else that's gone soft.

Thierry Marrou has burned every bridge from Montréal to Juneau.
Once a prospect for Canada's Olympic hockey team, he's just been kicked off a piddling local squad in Nowhere, Alaska.
But one whiff of the silver wolf on the opposing bench was enough to confirm that the dreams drawing Thierry across a continent have a very real source.
Now all he has to do is convince Dmitri Sernov to be his alpha. Très simple, non?
SURRENDER THE CHASE is the 2nd novel in the GRIZZLY RIM m/m shifter series.
Lace up for pheromone-charged hockey, dirty French lessons, a grumpy hero who thinks he's past his prime, and a pushy young hothead determined to prove him wrong.
Tropes: age gap (39/27), grumpy vs playful, fated mates, forced proximity
Content Notes: This story depicts sports violence (hockey), and unreliable parents.
Originally published in 2015 & 2016 as novellas, the GRIZZLY RIM novel editions have been extensively revised and expanded for republication in 2019.
