He’s a wolf. A massive, fearsome wolf standing atop the ridge, his long fur whipping about him in the frenzied wind. He turns his glowing eyes to me, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.
I watch his teeth bare in a furious snarl.
I should be frightened. No, I should be terrified. But instead, a feeling of calm I haven’t experienced in years washes over me.
I stop running, my eyes glued to the wolf, now mere feet away from me.
“Hello, little mate,” says his voice in my head.
And then, with a thrill of terror, I watch the beast jump right at me, claws flashing.

I was a single dad. I didn’t have time for love.
When I found out I had a son, my life changed for the better. My kid was great. My heart, though, was not. It had been trampled, kicked around, and shredded just for good measure. Obviously, after all that, I wasn’t looking for love.
But then…came Maddie.
She was an integral part of my brother’s company—it would be bad business to start something with her.
Only, she was smart and funny and capable and…my heart didn’t feel like it was in pieces when I was with her.
It felt whole. It felt like it had always been hers. It felt like…I needed to keep her forever.
