Heβs going to pick someone perfectly wrong for himβbecause fate isnβt in charge of his world!
A stand alone title in a brand-new shifter trilogy by New York Times bestselling authorVivian Arend.
As head of security for the family company, polar bear shifter Alex Borealis has intel warning something big is about to happen. His prime suspect? Tantalizing, infuriating Lara Lazuli, youngest daughter of Borealis Gemsβ main competitor. But when mating fever hits, he decides sheβs the perfect one to turn to. Theyβve got chemistry hot enough to melt the polar ice caps, but he doesnβt trust her enough for a permanent connection to form.
Being with Alex is one step shy of torture for Lara. As a wolf shifter, she scented the truth the instant she met him months agoβheβs her mate. But sheβs not about to trap anyone into being with her, especially not a man who thinks sheβs up to no good. Add in her own suspicions of wrong-doing in her pack and Laraβs caught between heaven and hell.
But tangled sheets lead to real communication, and a bond of friendship forms that neither expected. When Lara asks for help, Alex finds himself living in the pack house, scaring off random Alpha wolves and fighting at her side.
Because the mating fever knows a thing or two about fate and forever.
