Grace

Hannah Edgerton stood in the doorway of her guest bedroom and watched her brother sleep. It seemed that he'd driven over halfway across the country before arriving on base. She'd taken the rest of the day off to get him here, fed, and settled in bed.

Ian had always been a lone wolf, even when they were children growing up on a variety of bases across the world. He liked few people and trusted even fewer. Whoever stole and broke Ian's heart would have had to be exceptional.

People always forgot one vital thing about wolves.

They mated for life.
