About This Book

Fated mates shouldn’t know each other as children. They should be able to grow, experience and evolve just like everyone else, then find their mates after they’ve grownup. Unfortunately for Havoc and Analise, they grew up together from infancy. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, and they went their separate ways. But now, fate is tired of waiting. It’s time to see this thing through.

Years ago, Analise walked away from family, home, and all that she held dear. She’d had no choice, either walk away, or suffocate from the unending pain surrounding everything that once represented safety to her. It turned out to be the right decision at the time. Her life is more than she’d ever dreamed it would be. She travels the world visiting various archaeological digs and is highly respected in her field of artifact identification and restoration. She’s got a friend to spend time with when it’s convenient for her, who’d very much like to be called more than friend. And she’s moved on from the heartbreak of her childhood. She’s fulfilled, more-or-less.

Havoc has spent the last six years raising his daughter, being both father and mother to her. She’s what keeps him going. He’s not interested in anything or anyone else. He’s built a successful career in the construction industry, but despite that, he’s never outgrown the need to prove himself as a good male. It stems from the fact that he broke the heart of his fated mate while still in high-school. He hadn’t meant to, he’d just been a dumb kid, stumbling around trying to find his way. But he’d hurt her nonetheless. Despite there being no hope for them, he’s never stopped loving her. There will never be another for him. So, he spends his days being the best father he can be, the best employee, the best male. Since he’s unable to change the past, it’s all he can do to make an uneasy peace with the past.

Neither Havoc nor Analise has been home since their traumatizing break-up as teenagers. They’ve each moved on in their own way. The thing is, though, neither has ever forgotten. And lately, something is calling them back to the place it all began for them as children. They both inexplicably feel the need to go home. Some would call it the holidays, or even homesickness. They’d be wrong. It’s fate. Fate is tired of waiting. It’s time to see this thing through.
