He refuses to find his fated mate.

No one deserves to be stuck with a man with Nathan's past. That's why he fought against Fate and Her plans. He holds onto the memory of one person only, the rest he's buried. Nathan is better off alone.

She's drawn to the wild and full of independence.

Shaye honours her father's memory by doing the things they loved to do together. She cherishes the wilderness and listens when it calls. Even when a demanding grizzly bear leads her to a lone cabin in the woods. A man steps out the front door, changing everything she's ever believed in.

But they learn fighting Fate only causes pain.

Nathan and Shaye learn their pasts are tied together, revealing danger waiting for them. Nathan is forced to make an impossible decision. And there's only one choice if he wants to save his mate and put his past to rest.
