When I decided to turn The Belgrave Legacy into one book, I was very sad to see the secondary love story of Alec and Ivy disappear. It turned into Unmoored, and then I was left with the desire to explore Dylan’s story, too. However, unlike Alec and Ivy’s story, it does not overlap in timeline with Fawn’s story at all. It does have some scenes from a different perspective from Unmoored‘s epilogue, but for the most part, it is a completely independent story from the first two, which is why it can be read as a either a sequel or a stand-alone spin-off novel. Then the task became figuring out who Dylan’s Mate would be. Their relationships are as informed as the sirens’ in Unmoored, but unlike the other stories in the series, werewolves are very protective over their significant others. After writing two stories with dissimilar individuals in each romantic couple, I wondered what it would be like to have two who share a lot in common. And then the idea of her being a female Alpha popped into my head. And then it all started coming together.
