The Mating Game
Tess Covington's life is already complicated enough. Between supporting her struggling family and trying to secure a career-defining television renovation project, she doesn't have time for surprises—especially not discovering that she's secretly a wolf shifter.
Thrown into a world she never knew existed, Tess is determined to keep her focus on the job. The last thing she needs is a distraction.
Enter Hunter Barrett.
The rugged lodge owner has spent years keeping his life predictable and his heart protected. Burned by love in the past, he's learned that keeping his distance is easier than risking disappointment. But when Tess arrives to renovate his failing lodge, avoiding her proves far more difficult than he expected.
As snow-covered days turn into cozy nights and their professional partnership grows into something more, Tess and Hunter find themselves fighting an attraction neither of them planned for. Yet with their futures pulling them in different directions, they know their time together may be limited.
Can they overcome their fears and take a chance on something real, or will their relationship melt away when the season ends?
Filled with humor, heart, and irresistible chemistry, The Mating Game is a charming paranormal romance about unexpected beginnings, second chances, and finding home in the last place you expected.
