Phelan: I met my fated mate and she turned my world upside down. She's human, and doesn't believe we are fated to be together, but our chemistry can't be denied. Which is why I had to use a time-honored wolf tradition from the old country. Mating by capture.
I know this is technically called, 'kidnapping' in the human world, and she'll try to bolt the second she is able to. But she's mine, she's not going anywhere, and I'll do whatever it takes to hold onto her.
Lola: I have always taken care of myself, thank you very much, and even though I was attacked by the same shape-shifting creature that has been kidnapping women in my city, I don't need a bossy, overbearing wolf looking after me.
You see, I have a plan in motion for my life. I'll play the part of the dutiful fiancee to stay safe, but my plans don't include being mated to my so-called 'protector.' It's true he's got that irresistible wolf charm and he's sexier than hot, buttered sin, but I have been on my own since I was a little girl, and I know I'm the only person I can trust.
The moment I get a chance to get away, I'll peace out this pushy dude and the nosy people in this shifter town.

The dedicated social worker
Dumped by her boyfriend and passed over for a promotion, Diana Miller is sick of always being a good girl-and always finishing last. When she meets an attractive stranger at a work event, she sheds her good-girl persona, and sets out to seduce him.
The jaded enforcer
Like most Minotaurs, Mac Bodie keeps to himself and never lets anyone get too close. He adheres to a strict relationship code: hit it and quit it. Mac can't believe his luck when Diana throws herself at him, offering a night of no-strings, tangled sheets fun. What could go wrong?
Their night of passion leaves Diana sated and ready to focus on her career. But Mac finds it harder to let go. Diana hasn't just rocked his world-she has triggered something unexpected in him. Something that makes him question his lifelong aversion to that fated mate mumbo-jumbo.
When Diana gets a chance to prove herself at work, she thinks it's the perfect opportunity to re-launch her lackluster career. Except her new protector is also her super-clingy Mr. One-Night-Stand!
