He's found his mate... As his pack's second-in-command, Liam Armstrong is used to giving orders and his packmates falling in line. Then he meets a feisty human who has no problem telling him no. And, oh yeah—she's also his mate. But she's human. Bookshop owner December is no stranger to loss—her younger brother was murdered by a shifter years ago. After resettling in the quiet mountain town of Fontana, she's finally made a life for herself, including befriending local shifters. But now she's been targeted by a human hate group, forcing her to turn to the gorgeous, bossy wolf who's convinced they're mates. She thinks the very thought is ridiculous, but if she wants to survive, she'll have to find a way to trust him...before it's too late for both of them.
