Miguel is the ultimate powerhouse of the Guardian Moon pack, a hybrid born of vampire royalty and elite wolf blood. Determined to master his lethal edge before settling down, he has spent years avoiding the tether of a fated mate, convinced he must first defeat his own mother in combat to prove he is a protector worthy of love. Instead of finding strength, he finds himself spiraling into a cycle of reckless distractions, desperately trying to outrun a destiny he isn’t ready to claim.
Fate, however, has a wicked sense of humor. A series of impulsive choices leads Miguel deep into the forest during the peak of a full moon, where he collides with a stunning grizzly bear shifter. The instant, primal recognition of a fated mate should be a dream come true, but the timing is catastrophic. Miguel’s lingering scent of another woman leaves his bear furious and convinced the Moon Goddess has made a grave error.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes pack dynamics with the warmth of found-family. As Miguel fights to prove his devotion to a mate who wants to sever their bond, he faces his greatest challenge yet. Will he win her heart, or has he finally met a battle he cannot conquer?

I added this to my TBR at the getting witchy with it in New Orleans. It was literally the only book I saw there that I said I must read. It starts off strong. It got a little sluggish in the middle, but it ended strong again. Definitely worth the read. )
