Julissa Crespo has moved through the Motsi society her whole life; her family was one of its founding members. Between overprotective brothers and a powerful father she feared mating for love was out of her reach. Until him. She and her bear were in complete agreement that he was theirs, they just needed the opportunity... Rocco Jamison didn't see mating for himself. He didn't want to saddle someone else with his baggage. The Knights were the only family he needed, and he was content with that. Until her. He gets assigned to her protection detail, and their close proximity has him reevaluating the life he'd planned for himself.
