Lone Wolf — Tedi Sinclair

After the tragic killing of his spouse, Jed Black sinks into a state of blame and self-loathing while the Strays Preserve Pack continues on around him. The alpha hires a new wildlife director, Chris Wagner, to fill the position Jed's lover once held. The two men bump into one another and immediately realize they are fated mates. Chris desires to console Jed and help him through his mourning, but Jed just wishes Chris to leave him alone. Chris plays by Jed's rules, but after another shifter expresses interest in Chris, Jed claims him without permission. Despite that, the couple still wants the tenuous relationship to work. It's determined the wolf that killed Jed's lover was a diseased shifter. Jed wants retribution, and Chris begins to feel jealousy toward the deceased. Can Jed and Chris each work through their issues, or will it be too much for even soul mates to overcome? Note: This book is written in first-person point of view.
