Derek is a loner and a wolf shifter. He's just trying to get home after a hard job on a fishing boat, and certainly doesn't expect to find a pregnant wolf shifter in trouble. But when he does, he's all about helping her. Even if that means he's got to fight a crazy wolf in the process. Then life takes some unexpected turns . . . and Derek finds himself with a mate. One he just might not know how to live with. Length: 11,800 words Some dark content + cliffhanger type ending read more about the characters in the sequel, "Shiftless No More"

Unexpected mates must find a way to build a life together . . . if that's possible for such a damaged wolf shifter and a lonely curmudgeon.
