Single Daddy’s Mate

My brother’s best friend used to pull my nerdy braids and make me blush.
When he found out I had a crush on him, he just laughed.
But things have changed. My curves have grown feminine and he’s a single dad.
And as I walk into the small town of my youth…his wolf gets protective of me.
We practically grew up together. I know how he chases and leaves women.
He says our opposite characters attract, but I’m not fooled.
He always got a kick out of making me nervous.
And he still knows exactly how to push my buttons.
Our proximity makes me nervous. His overprotectiveness is overwhelming.
I’m afraid having him close will bring back that old longing.
The longing to be his alone, to explore our connection in secret.
To have his scent all over me and to burn under his stare.
Could we be fated mates after all?
Rose Valley is a mysterious small town full of supernaturals. Nothing here is what it seems. The only things a woman can count on here is that she’ll be rejected, protected, and loved by the strongest wolves imaginable…
