Ines Trudeau knows what it takes to survive the rough streets. She’s had no choice but to learn due to the cards she’d been dealt in life. However, she refused to pity herself or allow others to. She’s tough and can make her own way. So, the last thing she expects is to become the victim of an assault. Nor does she ever think she’ll be rescued by the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen. The moment Jacques Astier laid eyes on Ines, he knew she was the one for him. So, he’s surprised when she walks into the bar he frequents. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to get her to believe that he doesn’t see her a charity case. His wolf makes it known that it wants her by any means necessary. Now he has to convince Ines that not only is he attracted to her, but she’s his mate.
