[High House Canis 02] • Blood Mate

It was just supposed to be a fling...

Sydney Hart has a dark secret. Something in her past that has made it impossible for her to ever be a good mother. It was only supposed to be a fling, but now she’s pregnant. And the father? He’s not exactly parent material either.

When Lechiffre ‘Chief’ Canis, in the midst of a deadly shifter war, is confronted by the beautiful, fiery human woman from that night of passion … he is absolutely not expecting her to say she’s pregnant. With his baby.

But what he’s expecting even less is that Sydney is having doubts about raising a family. Or raising a family with him.

To a shifter, family is everything.

Desperate to show her who he truly is, as well as get his unborn child away from the civil war, Chief takes her on a cross country trip with dual purposes: He must recruit more shifters to the cause, and at the same time, maybe he can finally win her over.

But in both cases, there’s a ticking clock. When the time comes, he knows he’ll have to risk everything for family. But will everything be enough?
