It appeared to be a year of mostly peace, but in the shadows a new enemy was stirring. A fatal threat posed against Westin Pack’s beloved Pack Mother proves it’s time for Delta to step up and remind them all just why this unit was created in the first place. Each Westin Force team of operatives has a different focus. As the leader of Delta team, Michael’s biggest task is to ensure his team protects the Pack, especially the Alpha’s family. At times that’s included little more than territory runs, security checks, and babysitting dignitaries traveling outside Pack lines. But this time lives are on the line and it’s up to Michael to make the calls that could mean the difference between life and death. When he stumbles across his one true mate, his position becomes compromised. He must face an internal battle to decide what’s more important—the needs of the Pack or what’s best for his heart. Can he find the balance necessary to have it all before it’s too late?

Sometimes the path to destiny really sucks ass. I should have died on our last big mission and it’s messing with my head. I know I need to get over it, but I just can’t. There’s a lead on a new Collector and Delta’s getting called in to assist. Paralyzed by irrational fears and guilt, I don’t know if I can do this again. But if I don’t, I’ll never meet her.

Wolves mate for life. For better or worse. I’ve lived it all—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Still, I don’t back down on my commitments. Living with Annie isn’t always easy and some things need to change. I need to change. But the damage runs deep. Will we be able to overcome our past and start again?

I’ve always been one of the good guys. The one whose friends try to set up blind dates for. The guy that no one minds hanging out with their mate. The fun uncle. The godfather. Everyone’s best friend. But I’m also the man who knows how to disappear in the background. I’m fiercely protective. Loyal. And Kind. But I suspect even I have my limits! And she’s going to test that theory every step of the way.

It's been a long time since I was last home. When a mission takes us to the land down under, I'm going to take a much needed vacation. Or that was the plan. When everything goes wrong and I'm stuck in the Outback, That's when destiny strikes. I always said I would never fight a true mate calling. But I don't exactly have control over what she'll do. And in the end, I may be the one needing therapy!
