About this ebook
Camryn Dochart knows how to handle a packed diner, a foul-mouthed cook, and just about anything else life throws at her. Her fated mate? That’s another story. Ethan Lockhart takes one look at her and acts like finding her is the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. Cam has dreamed of having a mate to share her life with, but she’ll be damned if she begs him to want her.
Ethan wants Cam more than his next breath. Claiming her is the one thing he can’t afford to do. The work that kept him and his brother alive after their parents died has left him with blood on his hands and a contract on his head. He refused to kill an innocent woman. Now the wolves who hired him want him dead, and binding Cam to him could cost her life, too.
Keeping his distance should be simple. If only his wolf would cooperate. Or Cam’s scent didn’t make him want to forget every damn reason to stay away. But once desire wins and his secrets threaten everything between them, Ethan will discover that his mate has a few surprises of her own. And Cam isn’t about to let some murderous bastards decide how her love story ends.
