A second chance romance with growl. Benjamin Carver was the one man Lily could never have. He was ripped, wry, and had a smile that made her knees turn to jelly. She thought they were destined to be together, but then he vanished, taking her future with him. Five years later, Lily has finally put her life back together. She has great friends, a job that matters, and absolutely no unrequited crushes on hot shifter guys. At a crowded march, she sees him. He's bigger, badder, and ready to rip her heart to shreds. Ben didn't expect to see Lily at the protest. He thought he was safe and she was a thousand miles away. But there she was, all fire and curves with a new determination in her eye that made his wolf howl. Ben ran before, but he's not running now. He wasn't man enough for Lily when he left but he knows he's changed. But can he convince her? Or will he lose his one shot at finding his perfect mate?
