But for his dream to be successful he must survive working for the possibly the worst man in the city, Shaw Harlow. Shaw has built his multi-billion dollar company from the ground up since he just twenty. He's a beyond serious man who demands perfection from all of his employees.

He's nearly twenty years older than Riel, but something about the headstrong boy who refuses to quit his company no matter how badly he treats him, forces him to feel things that he shouldn't. Soon, Shaw starts to cross lines he never thought he would, unable to resist Riel. Their relationship blurs the lines between work and romance. And as Shaw dares to wish for a future with Riel, he finds it won't be easy to win Riel's heart. Will Shaw and Riel risk everything for love?

Some mistakes we make are meant to teach us a lesson. Other we want to forget. Then we have the ones that are the best mistakes we have.

Second Chance Mate "I, Spencer Austin Smith, alpha of the Silver Bear Tribe, reject you, Austin Justine Stephens, as my mate and Luna of this pack. I relieve you of all your duties as 'Luna'." Tears streamed down my face as I stared down at the floor. I didn't have to see his face to know what he was feeling, I could feel the disgust rolling off him in waves. I slowly turned towards the door, and began to walk out. I glanced back and tried my best to rein in my sobs. "I, Austin Justine Stephens, accept your, Spencer Austin Smith's, rejection as your mate and Luna of your pack." I ran down the hallway, ignoring the disgusted glares from others nearby. As I made my way outside, I thought back to the look on his face. I thought I saw a hint of surprise and regret when I accepted his rejection, but I'll never know for sure. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Austin Justine Stephens is the son of the Silver Bear Tribe's Beta, Alvin Stephens. His father's title should have every pack member respecting him, but there's just one tiny problem: Austin is the Omega. Because of his status in the pack, and some very unfortunate events, Austin is horribly mistreated. His mother died during child birth, resulting in everyone blaming him. Shunned by everyone, he anxiously awaits his eighteenth birthday so that he may find his mate and hopefully escape the hell he calls life. He lives and breathes for the day he finds his mate, hoping that someday someone will come and save him. His mate, Spencer Austin Smith, immediately rejects him, humiliating him in front of the entire school. As these books go, he leaves the pack, but takes his brother (Jared Alexander Stephens, who is nine) with him. He leaves only a single note for his father, explaining why they had to go. Maybe fate isn't so cruel, maybe there is something greater in store for our little Austin.
