Chapter 1

"It really shouldn't be that tough to find someone for him," Reese muttered, wiping sweat from his brow."Yeah, well, the man would rather spend all day splitting firewood than even think about dating," David shot back with a grin."We gotta do something about it," Brian added, leaning against a tree. "It's not right for a guy to go this long without a woman in his life. Hell, how does he not crave someone to hold, to build a family with? I know I do."Rowan overheard his pack mates easily enough. They weren't exactly whispering. He knew they were getting restless, pushing him to settle down and find a mate.That was the old wolf curse talking: the alpha had to pair up first, claim his true mate before anyone else in the pack could. Until then, no one got their happy ending, no kids, no heirs. For wolves, passing on the bloodline was everything. His three guys were itching for it badly, and he couldn't fault them one bit. He understood the pull.Once, a long time ago, he'd felt the sa

He pulled the truck into a spot right outside the diner and killed the engine. As he climbed out, Rowan froze for a second, dragging a hand through his tangled hair like that might somehow mask what his nose had already picked up.Brian inhaled sharply beside him. "She's close," he said, voice low and excited.Rowan shot him a glare. Another annoying side effect of pack life is that his men could sense his mate before he even admitted it to himself.They were relentless about it, too. That's why at least one of them always tagged along on town runs, convinced he'd dodge her if he spotted her first. As if he'd ever do that. It just hadn't happened. Until maybe now.This scent hit him like a punch of warm sugar, cinnamon, something baked fresh and irresistible. His mouth actually watered, and lower down, his body reacted hard and fast. Instant want, raw and undeniable, for a woman he'd never even laid eyes on.For all he knew, it was just the diner's famous rolls. "Knock it off," he mut

Guilt twisted in her gut as she stood there, watching them. Why did Joe have to be such a complete jerk? Part of her wanted to wrap her arms around this stranger who'd just saved her from disaster. Rowan. The name fit him strong, a little old-fashioned, kind of rugged.And God, was he ever big.He smiled at her then, a real one that crinkled the corners of his eyes, and it hit her like a burst of warmth on a cold day. Something told her he didn't smile nearly enough. Maybe I could change that. The thought popped into her head uninvited, so sudden it almost threw her off balance. She kept her own smile steady, trying to shove down the flutter in her chest.She felt strange, off-kilter in a way she couldn't name. "Anyway," she said, forcing lightness into her voice, "it was really nice meeting you.""Nice meeting you too, Elara." His voice was low, rough around the edges. "Are you planning to stick around town for a long time?""Hoping to, yeah. I'd like to put down some roots here if t

“Where are we headed?” Reese asked as they stepped out into the cool night air.“Home,” Rowan replied, though that was the last place he planned to go right now. He wasn’t about to hang around the diner parking lot looking like some creep. His pack was buzzing with impatience, pushing him hard to claim his mate, and it was getting to the point where they might screw everything up. For all of them. They had to keep in mind that Elara was human, not one of their kind. She needed to be handled with care, slow and steady, if he had any shot at making her his.In his forty years, he’d picked up plenty about how humans did things. Courting a woman was this whole big production date that dragged on, getting engaged, buying fancy rings and jewelry, jumping through all sorts of endless hoops. Sometimes it took years before they finally tied the knot and sealed the deal in bed.For wolves, it was simple. The mating call hit, and that was it. Strangers one minute, bonded for life the next. No bu

Joe. Hearing her say the bear’s name made Rowan’s blood boil. He wanted to erase the guy from existence for even being alone with her.“Nothing to worry about, sweetheart,” Joe said. “Head on home.”She slipped past Rowan, brushing close enough that her scent hit him again. They stood frozen until her footsteps faded and the front door clicked shut.Then the mask dropped.“What the hell kind of game are you running, bear?” Rowan demanded.“Might ask you the same thing. A whole wolf pack hiding right under my nose?”“You don’t own these woods. And I don’t roll over for anyone trying to muscle in, not wolves, not coyotes, and sure as hell not bears.”Joe shrugged, casual as hell. “Interesting.” He chuckled again. Rowan’s fists clenched.“What’s so funny?”“You’re throwing around threats, but your mate’s on my payroll. And after the raise I just gave her? Doubt she’s going anywhere.”Of course. The bastard was playing dirty, dangling her job like leverage. Rowan knew spilling the truth a
