Brodie Klein came across an announcement for a police chief position in a small town in Alaska and applied without thought. Stellar references and an outstanding performance record with the Atlanta police department landed him the job after the second interview.

Leaving the precinct where he had worked from the time he had stepped on to the force would be bittersweet. However, he needed a change. The time had come for Brodie to put the hurt and loss of his wife behind him. Not only for himself, but for his daughter. He hoped Naitok Valley would be their saving grace.

Aurora Rusell knew all about patience. Being the youngest and only female in her family—at least her immediate family—it took an abundance to train dogs and put up with her brothers. Mostly though, the patience part helped with her wait for a mate.

Thanks to Rory's grandfather—known to the rest of the pack as Alpha—her wait for a mate would soon end. Well, at least after he accepted the existence of shifters.

Rory wondered how she would explain to her newfound mate that he was part of a world only read about in books—then again, it wasn't like he had a choice—he or his daughter.
