I've lost count of the number of Lunar Mate ceremonies I've attended where every eye is on me. As the son of shifter royalty, I'm supposed to find a fated mate who will continue my family's powerful legacy. But at forty years of age, everyone is starting to think that person doesn’t exist, including me. Then I experience a pull so deep and so undeniable, that when I look up and meet the eyes of a waitress, our gazes lock. Recognition sparks between us. In an instant, I'm sure. This woman is mine. I can tell my parents sense the connection, too. But judging by their expressions, they know something I don't. Like me, they're aware she's special. But the fear in their eyes tells me she's the last person on earth they want to be my mate…

Our fated bond is doomed from the start… Our packs are sworn enemies, and those closest to me claim that Liza cannot be my mate. Even with the odds stacked against us, my wolf is certain that she’s the one I’ve been waiting for. But first I must stop the rogue wolf from Liza’s past who is obsessed with her. If I don’t hunt him down fast, he has the power to destroy our pack and my bond with Liza completely. And with my father becoming weaker by the day, the pressure is intensifying for me to claim my mate and become alpha. Only Liza’s wolf is growing more unpredictable, and she’s starting to question if I’m acting with my heart or out of duty. I’ll risk everything to be with her because I know exactly how special Liza is. But if the wrong people find out who she really is, it could be a fate worse than death…

My fated mate has a bounty on her head… I’ve always known my fated mate is special, but now the world knows the truth about Liza, she’s more at risk than ever. There hasn’t been another wolf like her for centuries, and the public scrutiny directed her way is setting my wolf on edge. When a bounty is put on her head, my protective instincts go into overdrive. No one—and I mean no one—is going to touch my mate. Now I'm suspicious of everyone including an old rival who claims Liza’s parents have more secrets than she realizes, and a mysterious buyer who approaches me about a business deal. But Liza is struggling so much with the changes she’s going through that if I don’t find a way to help her control her powers soon, her biggest threat may not be our enemies. It could be herself…

If I want to be with my fated mate, I’ll have to win this war… I swore to protect my fated mate, but now Liza is gone. She’s been kidnapped, and when I discover who is responsible, I’m determined to rescue Liza and make them pay. Except the identity of her captor raises more questions about the secrets in Liza’s past, which are darker and deadlier than any of us imagined. And even if the rescue is successful, that doesn’t mean Liza is safe. With our old nemesis Castro continuing to plot against us, we can no longer ignore the truth—he’ll stop at nothing to destroy my family’s empire and use Liza’s powers for evil. We must prepare for war, and while Liza is stronger than ever, my wolf refuses to let her put herself at risk. Only try telling that to my fated mate, who is determined to protect us all…
