Cousins. Close as brothers, both with a past they must deal with in
order to embrace the future. Stray has been held as a sex slave for
years. His one and only thought night after night in his cage has been
Vesper, his mate. Now with her in his arms, finally he thinks all will
be well-until his cousin gets a call that will change both of their
lives. Mika thought he had found his mate, but he was wrong. After her
death, he ran from it all, but he could only run for so long. Back in a
place he had called home, he comes to terms with the fact that the one
he thought he wanted wasn't meant to be. He also has to deal with one
family member who clearly doesn't want him there. As one bonds with his
mate, the other struggles with his past as well as what is right in
front of him. Mika refuses to see that he made a mistake and the pull he
thought he felt toward one is really meant for another. When Mother
Nature takes it all out of his hands, Mika must come to terms with what
has been unleashed.
