Valeena is trying to escape her old life by any means necessary. And when she opens her door for an injured wolf she immediately refers to as "Puppy," she has no idea what she's in for. Godwin is an injured shifter, who ends up on Valeena's steps in his wolf form. And now that he knows she's his mate, he knows he has to get her to love the man the way she already loves his wolf.

Valeena and Godwin had chemistry you could see and feel. I love their passion together, the way they rode for each other. Valeena was hard to convince, but with her backstory, you could understand her skepticism. Godwin was as charming as his wolf, and the way he protected Valeena was swoony, even after he knew she didn't exactly need him to. Valeena was tough and bad enough to fight beside her man and I loved that too. Finding out about her latent wolf was a nice twist I didn't see coming and I loved the reunion with her sister.
