A standalone title in New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend’s light-hearted, feel-good paranormal series. ~~~~~ Score one for the underdog…er…wolf. TJ Lynus is a legend in Granite Lake for his easygoing demeanor—and his clumsiness. His carefree acceptance of his lot vanishes when his position as best man brings him face to face with someone he didn’t expect. His mate. His very human mate.

Pam Quinn has a short agenda for her time in the north: act as maid-of-honour for her best friend, enjoy a Yukon wilderness trip, and maybe indulge in a little Northern Delight with the delectable best man, TJ. Nothing serious, though, because she knows too well that true love is a fairytale that seldom, if ever, comes true. Being kidnapped wasn’t on her list… Stuck together in the wilderness, TJ’s got one shot to convince her that some fairytales are worth fighting for.
