Shaun Faraday is a lion shifter with a problem. He needs to find a partner to remain the leader of his pride, but Shaun is determined to not settle for anything less than his destined mate. As a last resort, he has been searching through every pack and pride he can find, hoping that one of their members will trigger his mating instincts.
Owen Carmichael is a young man who was bitten by a wolf shifter during a camping trip, and subsequently has become one himself. After being taken in by a kindly alpha wolf, Owen tried to adapt to his change in species. His progress has been hampered by a set of tragic circumstances, that have led him to suppress his inner animal.
These two men have been paired as fated mates, and they are drawn to each other almost at once, despite Owen lacking the same mating instincts that Shaun is more than willing to embrace.
What neither man realizes is that they have met several times before via an instant messenger application. As Shaun and Owen begin to develop their relationship, they eventually discover the truth behind their digital communications, and several deadly secrets inside both of their inner circles.
Will these two fractured souls be able to join together, or will they choose to reject the mate bond that the fates have decided to bestow upon them?
