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 a 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.
