Luca Vega is a shy, compassionate nerd. He longs to meet his mate, his other half, someone who will accept him and love him for who he is.

When he meets Ashley Blakely his quiet life spins out of control. Ashley Blakely was a barbie and proud of it. Pink was her favourite colour, fashion was her life, and social status was law. She couldn't wait to meet her mate. At least that's what she thought.

She knew he would be an alpha, strong built, and every girl would want him. He would dress in designer clothes and they would be the new it couple because she would settle for nothing less.

What happens when her mate turns out to be the nerdiest of all nerds and the runt of the pack? Well, she rejects him of course. Add another woman, some hidden secrets, and life for him takes on a whole new meaning.

The mate she rejected

　　The look in his eyes made me weak in the knees. It was like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders and I was seeing him for the first time. He was vulnerable, exposed and he never looked so beautiful. There was no wall up around him, no anger, no guilt, all he saw was me. No one had ever looked at me that way before. When our lips touched it was more intimate then any sex I had ever had.


　　The kiss was slow, there was no urgency, no fighting for control. We were in sync with one another and it felt so right. How could I have ever wanted to give this up? How could I have ever wanted anyone else other then him? I now understood why it was said mates were worth waiting for, because nothing else would ever compare.
