Super werewolf Wayne Maccon has been fighting his growing feelings for a certain blond man for years. Previously mated to a woman, Wayne just can't seem to take that final step and be with the man who is his new mate. But how long will Conner O’Rourke wait for him to make up his mind?

Conner O'Rourke has waited so many years for the alpha of the created wolves to claim him as his new mate. Even as his love grows, anger fuels him as he is turned away again and again by a man he can't seem to stop loving.

While Conner and Wayne sort out their feelings, there’s a third party who wants very bad things to happen to them both. When a business trip to Ireland goes horribly wrong, Conner realizes he may never get Wayne. What's worse - he may not survive.

I have been blessed in this life to not only have parents that support me, but kids that do as well. I grew up in a loving but "Old School" French household. My parents worked for the airlines (TWA) so I was able to see a lot of Europe as a kid. I moved to Seattle Washington at the age of 22 and stayed there for twelve years before moving to Alaska for a little over two. Fairbanks, AK was one hell of an experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back! I spent a little over a year in South Carolina before moving back to Arizona. I then left for Kansas for five years and now reside in the South for another two years. I've been married to the military in one way or another for over half my life and wouldn't change a thing about it. Writing has become my fulltime job and I've never been so happy doing a job I love and being able to do it in my jammies. I plan on writing until I dry up and die. Hopefully, that won't happen soon!

This is one of my favorite stories in the series. It is full of heart, suspense, intrigue, and alpha hotness. This book has everything a great read needs. I also love how the author expands the world these characters live in. I hope the series never ends. It is just an incredible book, I have reread it many times and I never tire of it.

Wayne is one of the created werewolves. His line came to be by being created by a Goddess and the fates. They were created to rule over all other werewolves. They never really die either. He is stronger and more powerful than any other wolf. When he was young, he fell in love with a woman. When she was dying, he changed her into a werewolf. She was his mate, but she never took to the bond. Some 40 years before, she was killed by poachers. Wayne had been alone ever since then. When he realized that he had a new mate, a male one, he didn't take to it very well. He has known for a few years who his mate is, he just can't wrap his head around it.

Conner is a very special man. He was created by the fates just for Wayne. His life has been hell. He was taken advantage of by every man he ever cared for. He has never had a relationship that was good. He was also turned into a werewolf by his old boss as punishment. The only reason he is alive is because Sawyer took pity on him when they fought Carson. Now he is part of Wayne's pack, as important as the beta. He knows Wayne is his mate, but like every other man in his life, Wayne doesn't seem to want him either. He is getting to the end of his rope waiting for Wayne to claim him.

When Conner has gotten fed up, he tells Wayne he is going to date Mitch because at least Mitch wants him. Wayne finally gives in to his feelings and they come together. Things are truly improving in Conner's life. His old friend from Ireland wants to meet and possibly invest in the company, so Conner flies to Ireland to meet with him. This is where things go bad. An evil, old witch wants to hurt Wayne because she was in love with his female mate. She had to wait until he claimed Conner to do the most damage. She enlists the rogue wolves to help. When Wayne realizes that Conner has been taken, all hell breaks lose. With the help of all of the allies, and the female wolves, Wayne will move heaven and earth to get his man back.

This book has many threads to the story. We get to learn more about the characters, and even the possibility of babies for the mated wolves. There is so much going on in this book, you cannot put it down. Will Wayne be able to save Conner? Will the witch be able to take any of them down? What about the female wolves? Are any more werewolves going to find their mates? Can the previous created ones assist the team? Grab your copy and settle in for a wild ride!
