For decades, Mathias Girard has been convinced Will Orwell is his mate. It is painful for him to know that Will belongs to someone else and is forever out of his reach. But when Will's son Jessie desperately needs Mathias's help, Mathias doesn't hesitate and rushes to his aid. He does not expect his visit to the Lone Wolf Pack to lead him to his actual destined mate. Ward Bennett.

It takes but a moment—the moment Mathias's eyes meet Ward's—for him to realize he had it all wrong. His heart finally finds its true north, no longer torn apart by self-deception and grief. But things aren't about to go smoothly for Mathias. They never do.

Ward comes to Willow Cove in an attempt to hide from his past. Seeking refuge in the small town that his mother once called home, he finds a love he was not looking for, and is thrust into a world he is completely unprepared for.

Between the bright flare of passion, the desperate desire to understand, and the uncertainties that plague them, the two men have their work cut out for them. Can Ward open his heart to his unlikely partner despite all of his doubts? Can Mathias finally build a future for himself and his new family?
