Aaron has no intention of settling down. Everyone in his life seems to forget their priorities and lose their mind as soon as they find the one. But when Clove stumbles into his life during one of his darkest hours, he’s tempted to break all the rules he’s set for himself. His wolf has claimed her as his, but he won’t let his animal call the shots this time. He rejects his mate, believing he’s doing the right thing. When the two have to work in close quarters, though, he finds the mate call to be more difficult to resist than he ever imagined. Did he make the right choice in rejecting their bond? If not, can he find a way to fix things?

Clove never dreamed she would find her fated mate. He showed up out of the blue, and left just as quickly. Heartbroken, she throws herself into a new job, one that unexpectedly puts her right in the path—and under the command—of her fated mate. It’s not ideal, but she’s determined to make things work. Mountain’s End is in danger, and she’ll need Aaron’s help to protect the pack. With tragedy hot on their heels, and an uncertain future looming before them, can she look past her grieving heart for the sake of the pack? Or can she change this stubborn cowboy’s mind and mend their broken bond?
