About this book

- [x]

Welcome to the sensual world of the Lupine, where the burning drive to mate claims all...Ten years ago, Darius Bryant fell in love and lost his mate before they consummated their union. He mourned her death and moved on, but innocent, carefree Samantha always possessed his heart, no matter how many women he had in his bed. When the sexy werewolf shifter discovers Samantha is alive, he becomes determined to claim her as his forever mate. He must convince the now-cynical Samantha that her heart, body and soul belong to him. Samantha Evers spent years waiting for Darius to return, and thought he’d forgotten his promise to make her his own. She’s vowed to live as a human, for she fears the sexual savagery of the wolf life. Now Darius is back and the only act that will seal them together is the intense sexual bonding of the mating rite. She will fight hard to resist Darius’ sensual allure and his tender words of passion. But a far greater problem awaits them both when they discover someone wants Samantha out of Darius’ life for good, and will stop at nothing until she is dead…

Samantha and Darius knew they were to be together but Darius's father throws him out of the pack after he attacks his father. Now 10 years later he again connects with Sam but she wants nothing to do with being a shifter. Can Darius change her mind and find out what she is hiding from. This was an excellent story and was filled with betrayal, love, sex and danger. I really enjoyed this story. )

I loved the plot and everything about it! The couple in this novel always had it rough they were being torn apart by their parents without them even knowing. Darius always protected Sam with every breath in his body he always protected her. And protected a lot of females in his pack from his father. He would seduce them so his father wouldn't take their virginity. His father was ruthless and well outright mean. He treated Darius like s**t because he lost his mate from the birth of Darius he...
