    About this ebook

    A runaway bride walks into a bar…and finds her fated mate!

     

    Security Chief Duncan has just about given up on finding love.  Almost everyone around him has paired up, but he's still a lone wolf. Until a woman in a wedding dress appears in the doorway of his favorite watering hole…

     

    Elizabeth fought her way out of her old-fashioned pack.  About to turn forty, she's ready for a new start in the shifter town of Greysden. She's ready to be independent and to finally live life on her own terms.  What she's not ready for? An overprotective wolf who claims she's his mate the minute she steps paw in her new town.

     

    It's getting harder and harder to reject Duncan when he's around all the time, being the friend she needs.  And when danger from her past comes calling, Elizabeth needs to make a decision: accept her fate or run away.

      Chapter One

      Duncan

      Hey Duncan, have you seen my sisters?

      I looked up to see Pepper Rosewater standing by my elbow.  I’d been so lost in thought I hadn’t even noticed her come up.  Some wolf I was.  If she’d been a predator she could have ripped my throat out.  Fortunately, she was only a witch, and not a very good one at that. I sent the pretty brunette a smile.

      Hey Pepper, no they haven’t gotten here yet. I don’t know about Cami, but when I left the office Preston was banging your other sister in our conference room. Loudly.

      Preston was my boss, and the mate of Pepper’s sister Meri. 

      Gross.  Those two never stop.

      She wasn’t wrong.  My rich shifter boss and his bohemian psychic mate could not be more different, and they liked to bang out those differences.  Energetically and often.

      Can I buy you a drink while you wait? I offered.

      Sure. Thanks.

      I waved my hand to Marie, the bartender.  Marie was a fellow wolf who was mated to the owner of this establishment, a bear shifter named Ben Murphy.  She was a few years younger than me, but like me, she’d grown up here.

      Hey Pepper, what’ll it be? Marie asked. 

      Marie knew pretty much everyone in town by name.  She’d worked at this bar for as long as I could remember.

      I’ll take a lemon drop please Marie.  And put it on Duncan’s tab.

      Coming right up.

      I turned to face Pepper, wishing not for the first time that she was my mate.  Even though she wasn’t a shifter, she was strong and smart and beautiful, the perfect woman for me.  On paper at least. Pepper and I had a lot of friends and family in common and spent a lot of time in each other’s orbit, but unfortunately she felt more like a little sister to me than anything. 

      I was starting to despair about finding my mate.  At forty-five, I was way past the point I thought I’d be settling down. I didn’t care about having cubs, but I did want a companion to grow old with.

      Maybe I should do some traveling. It was highly unlikely that my fated mate would randomly show up in the small town of Greysden where we all lived. Then again, I’d lived in New York City for years and had no luck there either.  Maybe I was doomed to be a lone wolf.

      Marie returned with Pepper’s drink.

      How’s the witch training going? Marie asked my companion.

      Pepper had grown up in a family of witches and psychics thinking that she was the only one without powers until her cousin had
