Book Description
A five-year-old boy followed a deer into the wrong forest — and walked straight into the arms of an Alpha who hadn't recognized a mate in thirty-six years.
Fiona Walsh moved to Briar Cove to start over: a marine biologist, a single mother, a woman who had learned to need nothing she couldn't carry herself. Then her son Rory came home smelling of cedar and pack blood, led there by a wolf she didn't know existed.
Cade Mercer is the Alpha of Cliffwatch Pack. He's also the cousin of the man Fiona loved and lost — the father Rory never knew he had. The bond his wolf recognized in that storm-soaked clearing isn't obligation. It's fate. But fate is the one thing Fiona has never trusted.
When the Highland Conclave demands Rory be registered — or removed — Cade has five days to invoke a law older than the Conclave itself. The question isn't whether he'll fight for them. It's whether Fiona will let herself be chosen.
