Werewolves of New York: Darik (Werewolves of New York #3)

Darik Greyson was born human. His ancestor's DNA carries no wolf blood. But something horribly painful happened to him that ignited a spark in his soul at the age of thirteen, and his wolf was born...created from tragedy. Now that he's twenty-eight and part of a pack, he keeps having these dreams - nightmares, more like it - that tell him something is coming. Why does he feel a test is on the way... and if he doesn't pass he'll lose the woman whose face is never more than a blur.

Talia Irizarry works the nightshift at Manhattan General. She's a nurse, and a good one. But the men in New York seem to prefer eighteen year old actresses and models over real women, and she's not holding her hopes high that this loneliness will ever abate. Seeking solace in a much needed vat of ice cream, she walks to the nearest bodega (a small, local grocery store) to buy one. What she finds is two gunmen with other plans.

A stand-alone HEA romance. This werewolf paranormal shifter story is a complete story with no cliffhangers. Every pack member in the "Secretly Among Us" series has his own tale, told in one book from beginning to end.
