For Memphis, a simple trip to town turned out to be a whole lot more than buying items on his shopping list. Being mate branded and finding his mate in the center of a disagreement with some of the townsfolk within minutes of each other hits him like a ton of bricks. From then on, his life won't ever be the same. As a wildlife biologist, and working for a foundation to protect the wild gray wolves, Tori was used to butting heads with those who didn't agree with her opinions. Having a gorgeous hunk come to her rescue was new, though, and something she liked more than she cared to admit. Having convinced Tori to stay at his place to study the new species of "wolves" he'd told her about, Memphis soon learns his mate will do anything to protect them. Even if there's risk to herself.--Provided by publisher
