Farley is only nineteen and has no idea what to do with his life. That wouldn't be a problem if he hadn't found his mate, but he has, and he wants to protect Irwin with everything he has.

The problem is that he doesn't have much.

Irwin has been under his mother's thumb all his life and doesn't know how to get away. He's sure everyone in the pride knows how abusive she is, yet no one has ever tried to help.

Until Farley entered his life.

Irwin has never fought back, but now he has a reason to. He wants a future with Farley, even though neither of them knows what that future will be like. The problem is that his mother won't relinquish her control over him easily.

But Irwin isn't alone anymore, and he and Farley are ready to fight.
