Elroy Greer has been having a really bad month. A co-worker blames him for mistakes he didn't make. His car is broken into. He lost most of his friends to his ex in the break-up. Then his hiking buddy bails at the last second, leaving Elroy alone at a trailhead. He decides some time in nature to get away from it all is still an excellent idea and heads out on his own. True to his bad luck, Elroy gets caught in a spring flash storm, loses his way, and tumbles off a cliff. He expects to die out there, but he doesn't. Elroy wakes up in a log cabin with a man who's already supposed to be dead—Rueben Calhoun. Except, Rueben is calling himself Dermot Reever. As Dermot begins explaining about wolf shifters and mates and that they are destined to be together, Elroy can hardly believe it's real. He's sure he'll wake up and find it's all been a pain-medicine-induced dream. If it's not a dream, can Elroy really take the chance that his bad luck won't ruin everything and have enough faith to begin a relationship with a wolf shifter in hiding?
