The Blackwood Pack saga continues... This is part of an on-going series and reading the previous titles is advised. Readers of the past books will enjoy meeting old friends once more as the pack does what it does best ? caring for each other. Slate, one of the last Dire Wolves, has carved out a life which suits him fine-plenty of traveling to exotic locations and an abundance of one night stands to handle his needs. While he's happy for his brother, who has found his Fated Mate, Slate isn't interested in finding his-at least not for a long time. That is, until his body betrays him. Seeking his mother's help-who is an Oracle-Slate pays a visit to the Blackwood Pack where he finds the Fates have once again, messed with his life. Dakota, the chef for the Blackwood Pack, fell in love with cooking as a young child and ultimately the kitchen became a place of refuge for him. Suffering with a 'curse' through much of his childhood, he relied heavily on his mother's help to deal with it. After the massacre of his mother and siblings by their greedy uncle, Dakota barely survives, but finally forges a life for himself, content to stay home and take care of the people he loves. A long-hidden secret, rejection of a mate, acceptance of rare gifts, and a brutal kidnapping are just some of the obstacles Dakota and Slate must battle together to save their relationship. As the pack rallies around them, both must learn to trust the other before they can find the happiness that the Fates have ordained for them. M/M, Shifters, Fated Mates, MPREG, HEA, Multiple POV
