What happens when a wolf who doesn't play nice with others finally finds his mate? There are reasons wild wolves avoid humans, stay out of cities, and never remain in one place long enough to call it home. Nick Pearson understood those reasons better than most, which is why he spent most of his life living as a drifter. A life that is upended when he inherits a partnership in a rundown mountain resort along with a brother and sister he didn't know existed. The last thing he expects is to have Mandy Jenson, a gorgeous, wrench-wielding plumber, walk into his newly acquired existence. She is his mate and a temptation he can't resist. When a menacing evil plagues his home and threatens her life, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and claim her as his own.
