Sexy, sassy Jordan Levine doesn’t believe in hope or destiny. What type of destiny would allow her to grow up without parents? Jordan lives life on her terms: wild and free with no regrets. She has no intentions of slowing down, either.

When Jordan is backed into a corner, she makes a decision that gets her kicked out of college and sent home across the country. It’s the last place she wants to be because Nathan Mercer still lives in her hometown. Ready, waiting, and hot as sin.

He’s the only alpha male with the power to tame her heart. His bold, cocky disposition has always made her weak in the knees. So, when he marked her five years ago in a night of raw, steamy passion, Jordan knew running was not a choice but a necessity. She refuses to submit or even acknowledge that Nathan is her mate.

Hot as sin, Nathan isn’t surprised by Jordan’s unexpected arrival. He always knew his fated mate would return. He has no intention of letting her go this time. Beneath her independent hardened exterior is a female wolf shifter, who can go head-to-head and heart-to-heart with his panther. However, his chances of starting a future with her are interrupted when she becomes his enemy's target.

Nathan will have to hurt her in order to keep her alive and neutralize the threat. Will they be able to survive the fallout and salvage what’s left? They can only hope…

Could this be a second chance or another sick twist of fate?
