Daddy's best friend is my arranged mate...He's an intimidating ex-marine and much older than me.I'm a witch and convinced that there's been a mistake with our mate pairing.But when I catch his heated gaze, I know I'm in deep trouble.The Alphas tell us our mate pairing is legit and give us a trial period of one weekend.One weekend during which we have to return an amulet to a vampire coven.One weekend during which I get a good look at his war scars and tattoos.And the closer we get, the more confused my body gets.He's my dad's best friend and my bestie's dad. He's most definitely not my mate.Until we collide on the stairs and he claims my mouth.Until he gets overprotective and possessively claims my curves.But can he protect me from the most dangerous act of all?Or will falling for him get me hurt beyond repair? In the small town of Beaufort Creek, people believe in arranged marriages. Because when two shifters are brought together to overcome old resentments and form strong alliances, the power of love heals all...
