Anything goes in the woods…


Drowning in student loan debt, Claire Collins is about to be made an offer she can’t refuse: spend thirty days indulging corporate lawyer Shane Underwood’s primal desires in exchange for $30,000. All she has to do is give him the hunt of his life.

Claire’s perfectly happy to swap her boring summer serving job for wild, kinky sex. But once they cross the tree line, she realizes how little she knows about the man paying her to be his prey.

Shane is different in the woods. Brutal. Devastating. Feral.

That’s okay with Claire—she is, too. And she’s sinking her teeth a little deeper into Shane’s heart every time he catches her.

Critics Review

Willing Prey is a truly astounding amount of fun! Intense and scorching and fast paced, full of characters I’ve just met but already gotten attached to, with a love interest who is epically down bad. Immaculate in its filth, as well as a beautifully empowering story about negotiated kink and the thrill of finding one’s perfect match.
Ali Hazelwood, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author
Willing Prey is a sexy, funny homage to the simple bucolic joys of being railed in the woods. Allie Olander's trad debut had me reading under the covers all the way to the very end of the chase.
Katie Shepard, author of No One Does It Like You
Willing Prey was the biggest adrenaline rush. It was deliciously sexy and delightfully tender. Shane and Claire's big, wild love is sure to entice readers into the thrill of the chase!
Maggie Gates, author of Dust Storm
Willing Prey is just as spicy as you think it is, with undercurrents of heart and humor that kept me just as captivated as the chase. Allie Oleander’s sparkling debut will have you booking your next vacation in the woods before you’ve even made it to the last page. (This book will also have you fanning yourself. A lot. Ask me how I know.)
Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author

Maggie Gates, author of Dust Storm
Willing Prey delivers a gripping, sensual debut full of charm and spice––an electric thrill from start to finish.
Heather McBreen, author of Wedding Dashers
Filthy, feral, and addictive—Willing Prey is pure, unhinged kink and I loved every second of it.
Genna Black, Amazon bestselling author of No Small Sin
A ferally enthusiastic exploration of the darker side of consensual kink, Willing Prey is proof that it's never too late for a fairytale in the woods with your primal prince charming.
Nenia Campbell, author of Quid Pro Quo
Spicy, exciting and fun—Willing Prey extra girthy grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go! The chemistry between Claire, a quick witted and competitive badass, and Shane, a socially awkward lawyer, kept me turning pages through every heart-pounding chase through the forest.
Jessica Carrasquillo, author of The Manchineel
Willing Prey is the perfect combination of spice, humor and heart. The dynamic between Shane and Claire is electric, the spice will melt your face and make you forget all the reasons why doing the horizontal tango in the woods is a bad idea. Put on your running shoes, tie your hair up, get your bug spray and get ready, Shane is coming.
Poppy Fitzgerald, author of Astray
