Description from the publisher:
Makeshift Mate (Bad Alpha Dads, Meet Your Alpha)
Alpha Singles Series
“This single father gig isn't so hard. Not hard at all. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, really. It's been a breeze! Or so I thought.”

When Alpha Locke Winfield’s pack decided it was time for him to step up and take care of his own child for once, his whole life turned upside down. Too busy for tea parties and ballet recitals, he hadn’t realized his daughter, Sara, was no longer a little girl. And preteens, he was learning, were a whole other breed.

Locke needed a woman. One who could do more than take care of his daughter. He couldn’t remember the last time a woman had taken care of him. Which was why he joined the online dating site, Alpha Singles.

Sara needed a mother. And Locke needed a mate. ASAP.

There were thousands of women out there. Surely he could find one who was willing to take on a workaholic Alpha Wolf and his moody preteen daughter. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MAKESHIFT MATE is the first full length story in the Alpha Singles series following the introductory, HOW TO MEET YOUR ALPHA.  It is best to read the introductory story first, but not absolutely necessary.

What’s different?  Locke is a single dad.  He’s an alpha, sure, but he’s struggling to be everything for everyone and the one he’s most failing his daughter, Sara.  When his pack tells him they won’t enable him anymore and one of the youngest suggests he find a mate to do the “babysitting,” he gives it a go.  What he finds is Isa (Isabella) – his true mate!    Only thing is, Isa is also an alpha and a human… and a whole lot more.  Isa isn’t just strong, she’s amazing.

I loved the interaction between all of the characters.  Of course, the attraction and emotion between Locke and Isa is the whole reason for the book, but there is a third in their relationship – Sara – and she is everything you would expect in a preteen girl.  She’s moody and still sweet.  She wants to be Daddy’s little girl and she wants to be seen as a big girl.  It’s a tough time.  Luckily, he’s found Isa and she can help soften the rough road…. Once they find their HEA.

If you like the world that Millie Taiden created with her PDA, you’ll love the Alpha Singles as well.
