This was not my favorite of this series but it was darn good. Gabriel and Sarah are mates, they both know but no committment has been made. But Gabriel has made plans for Christmas. Unfortunately before that happens, Gabriel has been called as a Hunter for the eastern packs. Meaning he will hunt rogue wolves from any pack in his area. At the recommendation of his trainer he decides to wait until he's finished training to mate with Sarah, of course in his infinite wisdom he didn't tell Sarah that - men are so bright - not!
