Book excerpt: "I propose you become my second chance mate," Alpha Thomas says like it is no big deal. I cannot stop the cackle that escapes from my lips. "Have you lost your mind? I knew it was my mistake to kiss you without permission, and I have apologized," I say offended. "But how dare you use it as leverage to blackmail me into becoming your mate?!" "Not the blackmail, just a deal. For a year, we will pretend to be madly in love. At the end of the year, we get a quick divorce, I will give you a large sum of money, and you are free to find your fated mate." As the unloved and unwanted daughter of the Moonshadow Pack, Mia was used to never getting her way.

After losing his mate in childbirth he is being forced to find another mate by the elder council. Will they come together and save each other from an unwanted fate?
