After living for years amongst humans, Kelli Copeland has to go home for her brother's wedding. She's hoping that a decade is enough for pack alpha, Max, to forget her, settle down and have a passel of kids. If she's lucky, he'll be old and grey to boot... No. Such. Luck.

Alpha werewolf Max Daniels could have the pick of the females in Stratton, but he only wants one woman, the one who ran from him years ago. She's his fated mate. He let her slip through his fingers once, he's not about to make the same mistake twice. When he learns Kelli is back in town, he'll do everything in his power to make sure she doesn't leave again…

The problem is, he isn't the only wolf in town with an agenda. This time, Kelli's departure might the more permanent kind.
