A grumpy lone wolf shifter and a hot younger pup in need of a firm hand.
Yeah, this won’t get complicated.

For wolf shifter Dmitri Sernov, life bites.

His late-night hunts leave him winded, the twelfth rewrite of his novel is crap, and his last good lay was five drafts ago. He’s staring down forty with a creative well as empty as his bed.

The last thing he needs is a beautiful, intimidating, obnoxious pup bent on exposing Dmitri’s underbelly…

…and everything else that’s gone soft.

Thierry Marrou has burned every bridge from Montréal to Juneau.

Once a prospect for Canada’s Olympic hockey team, he’s just been kicked off a piddling local squad in Nowhere, Alaska.

But one whiff of the silver wolf on the opposing bench was enough to confirm that the dreams drawing Thierry across a continent have a very real source.

Now all he has to do is convince Dmitri Sernov to be his top dog. Très simple, non?

Lace up for pheromone-charged hockey, dirty French lessons, a grumpy hero who thinks he’s past his prime, and a pushy young hothead determined to prove him wrong.

Tropes: age gap (39/27), grumpy vs playful, fated mates, forced proximity

Content Notes: This story depicts sports violence (hockey), and unreliable parents.

GRIZZLY RIM Series The men of Grizzly Rim are a lot of things. Always human isn’t one of them.
