Prologue

Marcus had never given romance or mate bonds a second thought, figuring it was just something he'd never be interested in. And he was totally fine with that... until he met James.

James had waited ages to sense a mate and be swept away in an epic romance, just like one of his novels. But now that the crazy events of last summer had died down, and faced with the complexities of his own family drama, his relationship with Marcus was turning out not to be the fairy tale romance he had hoped for.

Would Cartersville be able to tear them apart? Or would their own baggage be enough?

This is Book 2 of the Mountain Springs series. Book 1 (Lost in Translation) is complete.
