When Petyr had to choose between the fated mate he hardly knew and his pregnant former lover, he told himself rejecting Rollo was his only option. Even when life brought him more heartache, he felt it was all worth it when he looked into his children's eyes.

Rollo never forgot about his fated mate. When Petyr shows up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, there's no time for joy as Rollo finds out all his mate has been through since they parted. Petyr is dying, and though Rollo's blood could save him, he asks for nothing more than Rollo's promise to care for his children.

But this time, Rollo isn't going to give up. The gods have given them both a second chance, and he's going to prove that to his mate.
