BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- M.J. Etkind, author of critically acclaimed novel, The Witch of Wall Street, is set to release her third novel, The Lone Wolf Paradox, on March 17, 2026.

Two lone wolves are pushed to confront what it means to build a pack of their own and rely on their village after being alone for so long. The only risk, they might just fall for each other in the process.

When Bea Howell puts her beloved farmhouse up for rent as a last-ditch effort to save her family’s apple orchard and moves into the garage apartment to earn extra money, she never expected that a total asshole, full-time lumberjack, and fellow werewolf would move in with kids in tow.

Untethered by a pack, Lane has spent most of his adult life on the move and uncommitted to any man or woman. When his parents, who are raising his sister’s children, are ostracized from the community, he returns to Maine and moves the kids across the state in search of anonymity and a fresh start. Renting the quaint farmhouse was an obvious choice, but his werewolf landlady, was a surprise.

Having sworn off a relationship after her divorce, Bea is surprised when she starts to develop feelings for the interloping werewolf, leading to Bea’s increased involvement in Lane’s family life. Distracted by his infatuation, Lane can’t help but aid Bea with the floundering farm, which makes him unavailable when the kids need him most. As their lives intertwine, Bea is wooed by Lane’s quiet competence, while Bea’s tenacity only furthers Lane’s attraction.

M.J. Etkind lives a double life. By day, she is a corporate girly with a business degree. By night, she writes romance novels in a cozy book filled apartment in Boston. M.J. Etkind’s most favorite fun fact is that she once took an entire vacation to visit a bookstore. Etkind has previously published two romance novels. Dishwasher Safe (2024) and The Witch of Wall Street (2025) which was featured in the New York Times Book Review.

Published by Izzi House Books, The Lone Wolf Paradox is available for preorder with exclusive perks available from select independent bookstores.
