This book can be read as a standalone but is better if read in order. Warning: Hot, explicit sex, not intended for those under 18. Emmaline Wilder, a wolf shifter, doesn’t believe mates exist—it’s a hoax perpetuated by men to get into women’s pants. Then how come when she runs into Wade Black, a bear shifter, at a friend’s wedding, she can’t keep her hands off him? Her whole life she’d been taught that bears and cheetahs are beneath wolves, yet Wade draws her like no other. Knowing he’ll be leaving town the next day, they have wild and passionate sex in the back of his truck. Emmaline has every intention of forgetting him until she finds out she’s pregnant with his child. Wade Black, a wealthy entrepreneur, can’t forget his time with the sexy Emmaline, and only when she loses her job does he hatch a plan to make her his mate for life.
