Cedric would give his life for the safety of this pack.

But he soon learns it would be far more painful to give up his heart.

On the verge of war, the last thing alpha wolf Cedric Kincaid has on his mind is falling for a fiery, stubborn, fae lass. But the faerie prince has one last move in his game—to mate Cedric to the princess. At first, he adamantly refuses. But the more he thinks about it, the more Cedric warms to the idea. But there's just one major problem…she wants nothing to do with him.

Duana is not the evil faerie everyone thinks she is. Yes, she's done some questionable things in her life, but she has her reasons. And most of them revolve around saving her people. Now the portal that kept them safe is cracking, and she's in a race against time. She has neither the time nor the inclination to "date" a mangy werewolf who scorches her body with his white-hot eyes and turns her insides to mush with his Scottish brogue.
