Lydia is set to inherit a werewolf pack, yet a vicious bully intends to take it from her.
Under pack law, only an alpha and their mate may fight a challenger, and she cannot face that monstrous wolf alone.
Charming wanderer Case has never considered himself the marrying kind, but her outrageous proposal is an adventure he cannot refuse.
Becoming a werewolf and standing with her for the pack's survival will be dangerous.
What neither expects is to fall in love and learn they are bound as mates by fate rather than mere convenience.
