  Rise of the Pride
  Book 9
  A new Guardian has arrived, and she will change everything.
  Booth Woods has lived a quiet, rewarding life as a Guardian to the Shaw pride. He’d planned out his life, never wanting to take on a mate. When Jade O’Connor arrives, requesting to fight in the Summer Solstice, his alpha tasks Booth to test her abilities. Her presence will throw his world into turmoil over the decision to touch her or let her go when she decides to stick to her current plan.
  Jade O’Connor has trained for this. She’s wanted nothing more than to be a Guardian ever since she began her private training. When her pride finds out, and her alpha sends a clear message she is not allowed, Jade flees to the Shaw pride on a rumored acceptance of training female fighters. Determined to prove her worth, Jade will vow herself to the pride, but she will never accept their denial for her chance to fight for her rightful title…
  Guardian.
