Travelling to Dnara to find the exiled Vihaans sounded like a great idea. Except...Dnara is nothing like home. Homesick, bored, and confused by the way Jude's eyes keep drifting over him, being in Dnara brings only chaos and uncertainty into Gale's life.

With Jude doing everything but climbing into his lap to make his attraction clear, yet putting on the brakes at the strangest times, it's up to Gale to make the first move and claim his mate. Men might never have been on his radar before, but Gale isn't about to ignore the true mate bond he thought he would never find.

Jude can fight all he wants, but no one denies the bond. Not when his words bark 'back off' and his eyes scream 'claim me'. Besides, Gale never was any good at doing what he was told.
