Unexpected Mates — Grace Brennan

Tyler MacKeltar has a motto: Just make it one more day. He fights his inner wolf for control every minute of every day, certain he'll need to be put down at any moment. Life has dealt him more than his fair share of blows, and damaged his animal, almost past the point of no return. Nothing can save him, and he knows he's running out of time. Then Parker Leighton walks into his life. One look at her is all it takes to soothe his beast. But she's human, and he knows how that usually ends -- in heartbreak. There's no good way to tell her what he truly is without scaring her away, and shattering his wolf's spirit once and for all. Parker Leighton does her best to hide from the world. Shy and awkward, she'd rather be at home with a good book than anywhere around people. Returning to her hometown for her sister's wedding is torture, until a chance meeting with Tyler has her suddenly eager to be around someone else for the first time in her life. But a man like Tyler can't really want a woman like her. And he definitely can't handle what she's been hiding. Will Tyler and Parker be able to handle each other's secrets? Or will their revelations send them running in opposite directions?
