title: Love at Sea
author: Walker, Preston
description: What does it mean to be free? Is it the ability to roam the open seas at your own will, without responsibility, or does the meaning run deeper than that? Ash Davenport has wondered about the answer to that question his entire life. As the omega wolf of a shapeshifter pack, his parents always keep him close by. Real freedom avoids him, even when his entire pack moves to Alaska. His hopes of a new start in life are crushed. That is, until he literally runs into his mate. Linden Smothers is the captain of a crab fishing boat, a lone wolf whose only pack is his crewmates. Since he’s been a sailor all his life, he thinks he knows what it means to be free. However, his past haunts him and he wants nothing to do with some naïve omega. Despite that, he hires Ash to work on his fishing boat but his only reason is to keep the omega from being a distraction to his work. Then, his crew takes it upon themselves to help Ash bond with him! Not all the members of the fishing community are so helpful, though. There are enemies in the water. What will happen when Ash gets tangled up in the nets of the competition? Will his mate rescue him and learn the real meaning of freedom, or will his bad memories hold him back?
