Bennett Winchester is perfectly content with his life in Mirror Lake. He owns his own garage where he works as a mechanic, has two sisters and good friends to spend his time with, and he doesn’t mind not being in a relationship—until Felix Kipling arrives in town and starts working at the bar owned by Bennett’s sister. The second Bennett lays eyes on Felix, his alpha instincts make it clear he’s looking at his true mate, and he’ll do anything to be with him.
Felix has a past that makes him wary of a potential relationship, but Bennett isn’t easily deterred and he’s willing to take everything at Felix’s pace, no matter how long he has to wait to claim Felix as his omega. The two quickly realize that what they have is so much more than a casual fling, but it may not matter when an accident puts Felix in a coma.
Dealing with his confusion about the cause of the accident, suspicion of everyone around him, and the return of Felix’s mate, Bennett is faced with an impossible choice: does he bond the man he loves to him without his explicit consent, or allow Felix’s ex to be involved in decisions that directly impact Felix’s health?
As the sheriff of Mirror Lake, Bennett’s best friend, starts to piece together the makings of a larger criminal organization, Bennett’s concern that Felix’s ex had something to do with the accident only grows. But there is nothing Bennett won’t do for his omega, even if it means risking everything to protect him.
