He rescued her, but at what cost? When fierce, dominant Jude Black goes on a mission to spy on an enemy werewolf pack, he never expects to meet his mate. One glance at sweet, gorgeous Lena has his fists clenched and his wolf snarling… she’s his, even if she bears the enemy’s claiming mark. Lena spends her days cowering from her alpha’s vicious temper. She feels like a broken woman, beaten down and lied to, until she's rescued by an unknown wolf who lights every nerve in her body aflame. Strong, compassionate, and irresistibly handsome, Jude is everything she thinks a real mate should be… But when Jude says he’s her true mate, her shattered heart doesn't know what to believe. In a battle for life and love, Lena must free herself from the past and learn to trust her heart again… or risk losing her true mate forever. This standalone novel contains a growly alpha werewolf that’s just as hot as he is protective. Guaranteed happily ever after.
