Glory has been denying her feelings for Ryan Williams for months. He's beautiful, strong... and a Bear shifter who claims she's his mate. The man is persistent, she'll give him that, but Glory's past has left her wary. Abandoned as a teenager, she's unsure that she can trust in the promises Ryan is making. Everyone leaves her eventually, even him.

Ryan only left his mate to hunt down the man who'd shot her and threatened her best friend. He has no intentions of going anywhere ever again, but convincing his stubborn mate that he's in her life forever is proving tougher than he thought. When he finally gets her to agree to a date, he feels like he's won the lottery.

Things never seem to go smoothly in the Bunsun-Williams family. Glory has issues from her past that need to be dealt with, and Ryan is just the man to do so. When one of them comes back to bite her in the ass, it will take baring his soul to get his mate to see that Ryan can protect her, even from herself.
