Tatted-up, bad boy, Alpha grizzly shifter, Lucas King, had been burned by love at a young age. After years of nursing a vow to never let a woman close, his mother's deathbed wish messed with his plans. Then Diana came blowing into town, and forces beyond his control thrust them together, throwing everything he believed to the test. Her scent came first, sweet and seductive, then he saw her, his mate, and wanted to rip every guy's head off for even looking at her, let alone flirt with her. He was possessive, territorial, and made no excuses for his nature. She was a wet dream, causing him to lose his tight control. Will sparks fly and the night's heat up, or will his control and vow?
