Werewolf Laina Flynn has been dodging pressure to mate for years. The successful veterinarian may be Fireborn pack royalty, but she's happy to leave raising pups to her alpha brother Silas. So when a human triggers her mating instinct, no one is more surprised than her. As the face of Hunt Club, Kyle Kingsley is no stranger to doing things out of obligation and responsibility. The public demands that he uphold the lifestyle the club has come to embody, even if his playboy persona is all a lie. No surprise then that Kyle volunteers to care for his recently deceased father's dog, even if the mutt is roughly the size of a barn. But when he lands in the clinic of Dr. Laina Flynn, her presence draws out something wild and untamed within him that has nothing to do with his new pet. An act of violence on Fireborn shifting grounds drives Laina into hiding... and into Kyle's arms. Instant attraction develops into something more when fated bonds challenge everything.
