When dragon shifter, Torrence, develops a life-threatening allergy to his people's mating fruit, no female within a thousand miles will mate him. Heading to his father's homestead in the Tomb Mountains, he finds himself at odds with the local wolf pack, and facing a lonely future.
Cecily Houseman has never been happier. She's finally able to open her own shop, Cecily's Donuts. Although she grew up in Tomb, as a human among wolves, she's always felt on the outside of things. The alpha's son is interested in being her mate, but he's not the right one for her. She's waiting for that spark to knock her off her feet.
Torrence wakes one morning with a single thought: go to town. The nearer he gets, the stronger his beast rails in his head. As he comes to a donut shop, his beast forces a shift so fast and hard that he rips the door off the shop and takes out the town gazebo with his tail. The alpha wolf wants him gone because he's dangerous, but Cecily takes one look into his golden eyes and knows that he's the one for her.
