ALL HE WANTED WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE...

WHAT HE GOT WAS HER...

Neoma is the low wolf. For years, she has lived under the cruel eye of Deacon, the Alpha of Scullamy. But when Deacon decides to attend the Bridal Hunt of long-time territory rival, Hollow Hills, hosted by its new Alpha, Colton Lauren, at last Neoma thinks she's found a way to escape. All she has to do is enter to run, become the Bride of whomever is fast enough and strong enough to catch her, and so long as that male isn't from Scullamy, then she and her son will finally be free. But on the eve of the Hunt, Deacon discovers what she’s done. Rather than suffer the disgrace of backing out of the Hunt, he orders Neoma to run...and to be caught by the new mate he’s assigned her.

When Gabe Michaelson learns that childhood sweetheart, Maya, has entered the Hunt, he joins as well, determined to bring her home as his Bride. But in the heat of the run, just as Gabe springs to catch her, Maya is knocked out from under him and the skinniest, scrawniest Scullamy female he's ever seen takes her place. Robbed of the love of his life, Gabe has no choice but to accept Neoma as his Bride, but—Hunt or not—he vows never to forgive or forget what she's done.

Everyone knows Scullamy isn't to be trusted, but right from the start something about Neoma doesn't fit Gabe’s preconceptions of what a Scullamy spy should be. She's too skinny, too nervous, too...haunted, and with the shadow of Deacon never far behind her, gradually he comes to see there’s more to Neoma than anyone realizes. She needs him—she and Scotty both—in ways no one has ever needed him before. As the words 'love', 'honor', and 'protect' take on whole new meanings, Gabe realizes he has to find a way to cut Scullamy out of both their lives.

Before he loses Neoma forever...
