Born part-faerie, Zinnia is no stranger to the allure of alpha men. In her twenty-five years, she had dodged a few of them, striking her magic against their will and slipping away as they wonder what just happened. Thinking herself safe at a friend’s birthday party, Zinnia meets not just an alpha wolf-shifter, but her mate. Kendrick drops her to her knees in submission before she realizes what is going on. The only problem is, they’re both married to other people. As his pack’s alpha, Kendrick has bigger things to worry about than a reluctant mate. His kind are dying out. Magic is fading among all the packs in their region, preventing new children in the pack from shifting. Couple that with hunters attacking his kind, and Kendrick is torn between pursuing his mate and saving his pack or letting their bond and his people fall apart. Magic has other things in mind for them. Drawn together by their mate bond, they are forced to spend time together to prevent Zinnia from becoming ill. In proximity to his wolf, to the feral nature beneath his skin, she finds that maybe submitting to her shifter mate and the barely restrained lust she feels for him may be exactly what she needs. With Kendrick’s wife urging the two of them to go through with the bond, and Zinnia’s newlywed husband trying to kill the wolves, it’s up to Zinnia to embrace her heritage and decide if magic and passion are worth giving up her human life.
