The historic landlocked paddle-wheeler Tessa Williams spots in Haines, Alaska, strikes her as the perfect location for an Eco-tour B&B. When the owner refuses to sell, though, she's sure a little in-person charm is all that's needed. What she finds is a handsome wolf who greets her with a scalding hot kiss followed by the announcement that they're mates. But she's a cat...and cats don't do insta-mates.
Local wolf-slash-owner of said vessel, Mark Weaver, isn't hanging on to the landmark building out of spite. There are more reasons for holding back the sale than are easily explained on paper. The sexual attraction between them isn't in question, just everything else. He wants her. She wants twue wuv. His wolf can't figure out what the holdup is. Her cat thinks the entire situation, and the pack, are rather amusing.
Somewhere in here is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, if they don't drive each other mad.
