Rahm Monteparse was content with his life as the alpha of the Central Valley Pack. He didn't want, nor did he need a mate. That is until fate takes over and leads him to a woman who stirs something within him he didn't know was there. The beast inside knows immediately that she's meant for him. Carleeta Taiwo had her life all planned out. Everything was going well.

A secret that poses a potential threat to Carleeta once she moves onto pack lands. Once the two are joined, sparks fly and nature doesn't allow either to walk away from the other. They are bound as one. Forever. When their journey as mates begins, more secrets are uncovered as they determine how to blend their lives. Can Rahm find his path to being the mate Carleeta needs? Can Carleeta adjust to life among shifters as she's learning to live with her family heritage? When their future is placed in jeopardy by the threat to Carleeta, how will they make it through?
