He lost faith in love long ago. She’s about to turn his world upside down… Alpha wolf Conri Valley isn't looking for a second chance at love—not after the betrayal that shattered his heart and nearly destroyed his pack. But when a feisty grocery store cashier named Cassidy Warmer storms into his life, ice cream in hand and fire in her eyes, fate gives him no choice. Cassidy has enough on her plate—between a demanding family, a manipulative sister, and her father’s devastating diagnosis, she’s not about to fall for the charm of a powerful shifter. Especially one who’s convinced she’s his mate. But destiny doesn’t wait for permission. When old wounds reopen, and danger creeps close, Conri must decide if he’s ready to risk everything for the one woman he never saw coming. Because some wolves get one shot at forever—and Conri’s is standing right in front of him. A heart-pounding tale of second chances, steamy chemistry, and a love that defies the past.
