Could there be a future with Jesse only He could bring about?

Jonas agreed to become a member of the new Harper clan mostly for the sake of his two best friends. Where they go, he goes, and they wanted to be Harper clan members, so here he is. The problem is that the clan needs more fighters, and even though he’s a Krsnik, he’s not a fighter. He half expects to get kicked out for that, but instead he’s invited to a family dinner at the leaders’ house. Where he meets his mate. Kendrick is hiding from an insistent eighteen-year-old who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Between that and the phone call from his brother, his life starts to feel overwhelming. And he’s not even bonded to Jonas yet.
