I murdered my mate. Now I carry his pup. They said finding your Luna-given mate was the key to happiness. They didn’t say what to do when you kill him. I never wanted this fate. Not the blood on my hands. Not the silence from the goddess who once blessed me. And definitely not the child growing inside me—a living reminder of everything I’ve lost. My brother Azure, one of Luna’s Guardians, doesn’t know the truth. But he’s about to. He’s getting married, and I’m expected to travel across pack lands with my son in tow. His solution? A babysitter. A bodyguard. Like I’m not a capable wolf shifter. Then he shows up. Jackson. Scorching-hot. Battle-scarred. Eyes that see too much. He’s lost his mate too, and the grief between us crackles like lightning. I want to beg him to shelter me from my nightmares. To show me how to survive the guilt. To touch me like I’m still worthy of love. But danger follows us. Men in uniform want my son. Secrets my mate died protecting are clawing their way to the surface. And the bodyguard I’m falling for might be the only one who can save us. Can I protect my pup, outrun my past, and earn a second chance at love? Or will Luna turn her back on me? Lily’s Tail is a steamy, 18+, dual-POV standalone in the Wolves of Cold Creek series. Expect emotional heat, protective alphas, and a heroine who refuses to be broken. Ends in a happy-for-now with no cliffhanger. "Brittany Putzer brings us a suspenseful paranormal romance in Lily's Tail: Wolves of Cold Creek. Shifters believe that once you find your mate, everything else will fall into place. Lily Pawson had her chance and killed her mate. After his death, she finds herself pregnant with his child. Lily has to keep her secret close to her heart. Azure, her twin brother, is a Guardian of Luna. Luna has already damned her, and she can't imagine what would happen if her brother knew of her betrayal. Lily's soul needs healing. When Azure sends the beta from his mate's pack to escort Lily to their new territory, she discovers that she might be open to second chances. That is, if she survives the men in military clothes abducting shifters. Author Brittany Putzer has created a fantastical world filled with abundant sensory stimulation. From the start, the reader easily becomes absorbed in the story, becoming part of an amazing world. Written in the first person from the perspective of our two protagonists, the narrative makes the characters more relatable. Brilliant writing and witty dialogue bring the characters to life. This book ticks all the boxes when it comes to action and adventure. The plot is solid; the pace is steady, and there is real depth in this story. I loved the fact that it can be read as a stand-alone, even though it is part of the Wolves of Cold Creek series." -Ronél Steyn for Readers' Favorite  ★★★★★
