This is the second book in the fated souls series and follows Ava's best friend Kayleigh who is a university student, and the beta of the pack - Kayden. 
Kayleigh is completely unaware of the paranormal world or that her best friend and everyone around them are secretly shifters, all she knows is she is there to support her best friends pregnancy, and she needs to avoid Kayden the handsome guy she's hopelessly drawn too but keeps embarrassing herself infront of. Meanwhile Kayden is confused why he can hear Kayleigh's thoughts even though she isn't his mate or a wolf, but he is also drawn to her, protective, and can't help but flirt, tease and please her. 
The story is filled with a steamy slow burn romance, flirty banter, a sweet and healing partnership, and some paranormal surprises. It's also a journey of self healing, patience, acceptance and regaining confidence.
Kayleigh's ex is a walking red flag, there's pack drama which causes emotional turmoil, its light on the worldbuilding and instead focusses on the romantic journey, the passion, and their internal struggles, and it has a hea.
