Werewolves don’t date a mate. They claim her. Protectorate analyst, Diana Smith, know this and that her time with Gavin Deacon is limited. She aches for more than a few months of hot sex, but she’s willing to grab the moments of happiness and make as many memories as she can before it ends. When Gavin’s attacked and then says he’s her mate, she doesn’t believe him.

From the moment he met her, Gavin knew that Diana was his mate. He wanted to give her everything a human woman would want from her man. Lust burns hot between them, but only claiming her will truly satisfy him. When he’s attacked and put into protective custody, he’s not going without Diana. He’ll have to protect Diana from the killer’s stalking them if he hopes to finally claim his mate.
