When she finally encounters her mate, it is the last person she ever wanted: Thomas Collier.

Here is a comprehensive overview of the book, covering the plot, character dynamics, and its place in the broader series: 📖 The Plot

Thomas is the future Alpha of the Collier Pack and the brother of Lily's best friend. Lily has deeply rooted prejudices against him, stemming from how he handled a past family tragedy.

Lily Westin is a hopeless romantic who has spent her entire life waiting for the magical "tingle" down her spine that signals the arrival of her fated mate.
