Wolf shifter Mackenzie Davis has no interest in mating with another wolf. A horrific experience in her past has hardened her to this tradition of her heritage. She loves her life as is: perfect job, perfect friends, and the absolute perfect boyfriend—a human one. Nevertheless, her mother guilts her into attending this year’s Wolf Gathering. Dragging her feet, she agrees to one day only. Drake Spencer has come to the gathering from Texas with his family. He’s twenty-eight and believes his chances of finding a mate are slim to none, especially since he saw the woman he felt connected to leave with another man at last year’s gathering. But what if the woman consuming his dreams for the past two years is not actually mated?

When Mackenzie and Drake meet, sparks fly. Kenzie hopes to deny his claim on her, but the call of mates is stronger than she ever expected. If she follows Drake to his family home in Texas, will she lose her sense of self, or will she find out who she truly could be? And can Drake live with the scars of her past?
