Margaret Raynor has spent years denying the wolf inside her.
Now it's finally breaking free.
Terrified of what she might become, Maggie wants nothing to do with shifters—especially not the powerful Beta of the Granite Lake pack.
But Erik Costanov knows the truth the moment he catches her in his arms.
She's his mate.
Convincing Maggie to trust him is another matter entirely.
When fate throws them together in the most prestigious wolf competition in the north, Maggie can't run from her fears—or from the man who refuses to let her face them alone.
As danger, rivalry, and pack politics close in, Erik will do whatever it takes to protect the woman meant to stand beside him.
Even if she's not ready to accept the bond between them.
Because when destiny chooses a mate...even the most stubborn wolf can't escape it.
