Wolf Apart

He wears a human face--but the wild is breaking through.

Elijah Sorensson has the trappings of success: a sleek Manhattan office, power, and polish. But beneath the surface, the Alpha of the Great North Pack is unraveling. Trapped in a world of human rules, his wolf soul longs for the forests he was exiled from--and the freedom he left behind.

Thea Villalobos doesn't run from predators. A solitary forest ranger with no time for illusions, she sees through Elijah's designer veneer to the raw truth beneath: a man driven by instinct, aching with loneliness, barely holding back the beast within. Their connection is undeniable. But in a world ruled by ancient shifter law, love between human and wolf is a dangerous gamble.

Gripping, emotional, and atmospheric, A Wolf Apart is a paranormal romance where loyalty clashes with desire, and the call of the wild can't be denied. Maria Vale's singular shifter universe is a visceral, unforgettable journey into what it means to belong--to a pack, to a purpose, and to the one who sees your truest self.
