Years of searching for the men who murdered his sister has taken its toll on Jim Malveaux. Settling down and finding his mate just wasn’t high up on his list of things to do right now. In Morefield Village, he’d found both a home and a job, working as part of a security team protecting the residents. The last thing he expected was to walk into the grocery store and find his fated mate. Store worker Saxon Scott couldn’t keep his eyes off Jim from the moment he walked in, but then Jim floored him by telling him they were mates. Sex, he could do but mates, that was a hard no. When Jim crosses that line, Saxon throws him out, determined to never speak to him again. But danger threatens Morefield, throwing Jim and Saxon back together again. Can Saxon put his anger aside to help Jim protect Morefield and how will Jim react when he finds out about the silky secret Sax has been keeping?
