Sometimes the past isn’t as easy to leave behind as we’d like.

Gabriel doesn’t like his life. It’s better than the one he would have if the Gillham pack hadn’t rescued him from the streets, but he’s working himself to the bone to make sure Alice, the woman he considers his sister, gets better opportunities than him. He realized something was eventually going to break a while ago, but he never expected that the reason for it would be his mate.

Cyn is leaving behind the life he’s known until now— including his parents’ money, the job they’d been planning for him, and the arranged marriage they want him to enter. He doesn’t know what he’ll encounter when he goes to Gillham to find his cousin Noah, but it’s not a cute shifter telling him they’re mates. He never expected to have one, since demons don’t have mates, but it’s a perfect way to turn his life around.

If only his mate’s sister didn’t hate him.
