Tilly just wants to escape family, friends, men. Her life has become an ongoing reminder of what she has lost, and the only way to escape the pain is to book a ticket and get out of the country. Maybe when she returns she can start over, rather than living this shell of a life. That is, if she even comes back.
Ben and his twin had always been blissfully unaffected by Fenrir females in heat. If either of them acted like a clown, it was because they chose to, unlike the males in their den, who were complete idiots any time a potential mate was around. Ben had always assumed he would get a mate eventually, and with his siblings finding their mates one after the other, it was becoming more and more likely.
When Ben meets Tilly, he knows instantly that she is his mate. The only problem is, not only is she human, she’s already had a mate and lost him. Ben wants Tilly, but Fenrir mate for life, so if her broken heart leads her to reject him, he may find himself without a mate forever.
