She ran into a frozen wilderness to escape a monster... only to collapse into the arms of a beast.
Tova Two years. Three states. A trail of fake license plates. I've spent what feels like a lifetime shrinking myself to stay one step ahead of the dangerous man hunting me. When my car dies in the middle of a brutal Montana blizzard, I choose to walk into the blinding whiteout rather than freeze waiting to be caught. I expected the cold to finally claim my life. I didn't expect to wake up inside a secluded cabin, wrapped in warm furs, staring into the piercing, molten gold eyes of the largest man I have ever seen.
Beckett I am an exile. After my old pack brutally turned on me, I swore off the supernatural world, choosing the absolute solitude of patrolling the mountain boundary. No pack. No mate. No soft, undefended places for a knife to find. Then the wind shifted, carrying a scent that shattered my frozen control: warm vanilla and pure terror. One breath rewrote my entire architecture. She is constructed of breakable mortal flesh-and she is undeniably, entirely mine.
The Stakes As the storm locks us in together, the primal pull between us threatens to snap the last of my restraint. My wolf rages to mark her, claim her, and shield her from the world. But Tova has spent years fleeing a cage, and I refuse to become her next captor.
But when the threat from her past tracks her to my threshold, the time for waiting is over. Tova is done running, and I am done playing the lonely rogue. Her hunter thinks he can drag her back into the dark-but he's about to find out exactly what happens when you touch a wolf's fated mate.
