He never knew she was carrying his child.
Now she’s back—and this time, she’s his to claim.

Avery never expected to return to Harbor Mills—or to face the alpha who once broke her heart. But with her son’s life on the line, she has no choice but to turn to the only man who can help.

Cole didn’t know he had a son. He never stopped loving Avery—and now that fate has brought her back, nothing will keep him from protecting what’s his.

The pack is dangerous. The threats are real. But this time, Cole won’t let anything—or anyone—stand between him and his mate.

Title:  The Alpha’s Second Chance Mate
Series:  ~Standalone~
Author:  Sadie Sears & Roxie Ray
Published:  July 9, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

The Alpha’s Second Chance Mate is a duology (a 2-in-1) that makes a long, detailed, and intense story of reunited mates, a pack on the edge of collapse because of a very bad Alpha, and a complete psycho shifter with delusions of grandeur of world dominance in his evil, twisted mind.  Buckle up, buttercup, it’s going to be a wild ride.

I, frankly, cannot come up with any safe way to talk about Avery’s and Cole’s journey without giving away possible spoilers, and I try very hard not to do that.  The safest thing I could say is that this couple are fated mates who were separated by one stupid decision, and they both paid for that choice.  The rest are complications of an alpha who made bad choices that left his pack vulnerable to the actions of a madman… leaving his returning son to pick up the pieces.  Their story is beyond intense, full of action, danger, passion, and a love that is strong enough to survive what has been dealt to this couple… but not without consequences.

I really hope that there will be more stories, or at least one more, because within the secondary characters, a mate relationship between Langston and Stormy was more than hinted at… and I want to know more.  I could see possibilities with other secondary characters as well.  And there is one loose thread that needs to be tied in a pretty bow.  I’d like more, whether I’ll have that wish granted is up in the air.

In all, The Alpha’s Second Chance Mate by Sadie Sears and Roxie Ray is intense, a long story, but well worth the time spent in this world.  If you enjoy a well-written, dangerous, passionate story with twists and turns that will take you by surprise, and one vile villain you cannot help but loathe, then you’d enjoy this one for certain.
