In the middle of History of Feminism, stood the woman he would die for, the woman he would worship until the end of time. His mate. As a member of one of the oldest Shifter clans in the Pacific Northwest, Rainier Rochon was out of his element in Seattle, but it was nothing that a trip back to Apex and running through the woods with his bear couldn’t fix. He had a plan for his life, and he was right on track to achieve everything he had set out to. Graduating and returning home to work in the family business was all he ever planned. Simple. The Fates, however, have aligned to throw a wrench in his painstakingly planned academic goals. There’s something different about the TA for his newest class. He can’t escape the fact that there is more to Quinnlynn Sutter, something that will change his life, and hers, forever. Even though being with Quinn is the most natural thing in the world, he’s keeping a secret from her that could ruin everything. His bear raged for her, called to her, but how could he tell her the truth? Whether she wants to admit it or not, Quinn is rigid. The last thing she needs is a distraction like Rain, especially when he comes with a set of ultimatums that she can’t resist challenging. She can’t deny the magnetic pull she feels whenever he is close by, and the unexplainable ache she feels when they are apart. But he’s too intense, too close... and the last thing she wants is to lose sight of her dreams, or let someone else control her future.
