Kai crossed an ocean to save his pack.
Henry Taggart is hiring men who fight for money, and Gordon Pack needs a defense their enemy has never seen. Kai's only hope lies in a remote Old Continent valley, where wolves still practice an ancient fighting discipline unknown to his own pack.
There's just one problem.
They don't teach outsiders.
Kai earns himself a single winter among them.
He never expected to find his mate.
Elantia is the alpha's daughter: fierce, blunt, impossible to fool. From the first morning, neither of them pretends not to want the other.
Their wolves already know they belong together. Their human halves are much less certain.
Kai comes from a world where feelings are spoken and choices are made clear. Elantia comes from one where the most important things never need words at all. The closer they grow, the easier it becomes to want forever. And the harder it becomes to understand each other.
Because Kai has one winter to learn what he came for.
Then he has to go home.
Fate brought them together. But love will only work if they can learn to choose each other before winter ends.
