To discover her secrets, Tate will have to win her trust...and get closer to the woman he thinks may be his mate.

He will come after them both if he sees how drawn she is to Tate, though it becomes increasingly difficult to deny her attraction to him. Protecting Tate is vital--but will her deception cost her his love?
