"I was being pulled in two. Everything in me except one small corner of rationality was screaming to get closer to him, to put my hands on him- all over, soaking my scent into every inch of flesh. And I wanted him to do the same to me. I felt lightheaded from my lack of breath. I wasn't going to be able to hold on much longer. "Get me out of here," I gritted through lips that could already feel what it would be like to kiss him. Clark didn't hesitate for a second." Rose battles the mating pull even as it grows stronger each year. This time, her lifelong crush is in town and he's almost impossible to resist. Ellie doesn't want to fight the mating pull, but it isn't tugging her in the direction she wants to go. In fact, she's getting tugged toward the wrong kind of shifter altogether. Mating season is about to begin.
