When a pair of armed lowlifes and a snowstorm in the Sandia Mountains strand photojournalist Gavin Leeds in Mike Ivanovβs cabin, the newshound gets the shock of his life. Not only is his sexy rescuer an Alpha bear shifter, but Mike also believes that Gavin is his destined heartβs mate. Some hot and dirty sex with a hunky shifter is one thing, but Gavin doesnβt believe in fated mates or happily ever afters.
Mike Ivanov has enough problems with his pack as it is; theyβre not thrilled that he wonβt be siring the next Alpha, and now he has to answer a challenge from one of his pack members. Having his heartβs mate show up on the same night doesnβt help. Finding out that his mate is a snarky, rebellious human with a commitment problem and an ass he wants to bite?
Nobody ever said an Alphaβs life was going to be easy.
