A she-wolf with a secret Her Scottish mate determined to claim her Can love prevail Or will evil forces keep them apart? As the official envoy of the New York Lycan clan, Julianna Anderson came to Scotland to forge alliances in order to defeat their enemies, and not to find a mate. But Duncan MacDougal insists that she's his True Mate, and the sexy Scottish wolf just won't take no for an answer. She doesn't need or want a mate, and she's got too much going on to add one more thing to her plate. Future Alpha Duncan MacDougal recognized Julianna as his True Mate the moment their eyes locked, and while the prickly she-wolf doesn't believe him, he'll do anything to make her his. He knows that there's more to Julianna than meets the eye, and the shadows that seem to haunt her make him know the truth even more, if only to safeguard her from the dangers around them. There's just one thing Julianna can never tell Duncan, a secret from her past that would mean the undoing of all her work, and possibly put every Lycan in the world in danger. But Duncan wants to know everything about her, and possess her, heart, mind, and soul. Will she be able to keep her secrets and keep her heart, or will the past catch up to her and destroy everything she holds dear?
