Lion-shifter Solomon Anderson never thought he would get a second chance with the mate he ran out on. He's just trying to get by, looking after his brothers, working hard at his construction job, and trying not to let thoughts and regrets for his abandoned mate destroy him. Frederick Derenne lives in a wheelchair after getting hit by a truck while trying to catch the mate who panicked and ran. A vampire should be able to heal, but Freddie didn't. He's bitter and angry at the man who left him. Events in Sol's pack bring the two together again, and they have the chance both men long for, but will they be able to take it? They need to heal the breach in a relationship which never got the chance to really start. Freddie and Sol have to forgive and accept before they can love each other and move toward a future together.
