Blurb:

He’s keeping secrets.

Logan Kemp buried the love of his life when he was nineteen and, unable to face the loss of his future mate, he left Shadow Pines. Six years later, he’s been summoned back to deal with his ailing father and take his rightful place as Pack Alpha. Only, the pack he left behind has changed and everything he thought he knew is turned upside down with one fateful encounter.

She’s done with the lies.

Wren Culvert was sixteen when her sister drowned. It was ruled an accident but she always believed Lark’s boyfriend was involved and that his Alpha father covered for him. She wants to rip him apart when she sees him again but instead, a bond sparks between them and all her righteous fury is suddenly wrapped up in the confusing need to be mated with this man she hates.

Only the truth can set them free.

Can Logan and Wren manage to put the past behind them or will the need for revenge ultimately destroy them… and their pack?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I truly enjoyed this story. It was entertaining, tragic, and full of secrets and hope. Wren had a hard time letting the past go, especially regarding Logan and her dead sister, Lark. I felt sorry for Wren's loss and journey to acceptance and love. Logan was determined to bond with Wren and give her the truth she deserved. The mating bond led to some very steamy scenes and a lot of emotions overflowing. I am looking forward to the next in the series.
