About this ebook
We were mates, but then he left. Now I know that I'm better off without him.
Or am I?
It's been six years, eleven months, and four days since Dante left Boulder. I know this not because I've been hoping he'll return, but because I've been counting how many days I've been fine without him. I am, too. I have my clan. I have my company.
And I have my son.
Our son.
Dante never needs to know about Wilder. If he finds out that he's got a son, I just know he's going to come back to town, but I've moved on. We've all moved on.
But all of that is about to change...
Dante comes barreling back to Boulder acting like everything is the same, but I'm different now. I don't need a husband. I don't need a mate. I don't need anything he could possibly have to offer, but my bear is begging to disagree.
And I don't know if my heart can handle it.

And I don't know if my heart can handle it.

Your dad didn’t choose you,
Rita, one of the cinnamon bear shifters in the clan, calls from the back of the room. She rolls her eyes like he should know. He should. He should know.
The conference room we’re meeting in overlooks the gorgeous mountains. This is my favorite thing about living in Boulder. There are mountains everywhere, which means there’s plenty of space where we can shift, run, and swim. I enjoy nothing more than this.
Well, when I’m not busy trying to keep everyone in line.
He did, actually,
Benjamin pushes a sheet of paper toward me. I reach for it, accidentally crumpling it just a little in my anger and irritation. Like hell. Henry may have been a bit gone there at the end, but we all know I’m supposed
