Rosco Greywolf had resigned himself to his new life without his mate. As Central Valley Pack's beta, he had his hands full with his duties. Having lost the shifter he believed to be his only chance at a finding a life-mate, he grouched his way through each day trying to hold together the pieces of his shattered existence. Until... Deanna 'DK' Madkins was starting over. She'd done the mating thing. It failed when she was unable to give her mate the prize he coveted-progeny. After setting him aside, she left the pack of her birth. Her life would be away from shifters and she was fine with that. When she moved to small town just beyond the borders of the Central Valley Pack's lands, she thought she'd found the place for her solitary happily ever after. Until... Circumstances bring the two together, and the sparks which ensue may be more than either is willing or able to handle. Can they find what they didn't think they would ever have again? What happens when a gruff widowered shifter and a formerly mated she wolf crash into each other? Can they find themselves together? Can love be reclaimed?
