He’s looking for forgiveness.She’s looking for a fighting chance.Graham Long left his career—and his real name—behind to make a fresh start for himself at Shifting Sands. He’s done with dueling, and wants nothing more than to quietly raise his strawberries and tend the lawns at the tropical shifters-only resort.A fight is the last thing he wants when his lion insists that his friend’s bear … insists that his friend’s bear shifter bridesmaid is his destined mate.
But fiercely independent Alice Anders has a life of her own already. She’s not going to turn her back on the people who need her and the job she loves just to run away to a tropical island paradise with a gorgeous gardener that makes her knees weak with one blue-eyed glance. She’s not at the resort to find her own true love… and she’s not there only as a bridesmaid, either. She’s been given a fighting chance to save her family: all she has to do is uncover the shift form of the mysterious resort owner, Scarlet, for an equally mysterious man for whom money is no object.
Between the secrets they’re keeping and the answers they’re searching for, it’s a hard road to honesty, and harder road still to a happy ever after.
Can Graham keep ahead of the enemies from his past? Will Alice figure out who he really is… and if she does, will she ever be able to forgive him for the things he’s done and the secrets he’s keeping from her?

Born to be king
You are in for a magical ride when you pick up this book to read. Once again we get to return to Shifting Sands, and all of the friends we left there. A new couple goes through an ordeal before making it to their HEA. While they are working through the issues, we get to see a taste of what the future may hold. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
3.5 stars. Not fond of Alice but loved having Graham’s story.
Wasn’t happy with the heroine and her attitude/behaviour in the first half of this story.
Have waited a long time to find out about our grumpy, quiet gardener Graham. Who he was and what happened in his past was interesting and also very sad.
A great second half that gave us lots happening on many fronts.
Chef and Magnolia’s HEA was a sweet surprise but so sad they had waited all those years.
We have even more questions about Scarlett. Cannot wait for the final book in this series to answer them all.
What happened to Cyrus and the other nasties. Were they arrested and charged?
The reasons I never warmed up to Alice were;
A stranger turns up at Alice’s work, seems to know nearly everything about her and her family, then offers her more money than seems reasonable, just to find out what type of shifter Scarlett is.
One would think that being offered 50 million dollars for something that seems so trivial, would ring BIG alarm bells. This information really must be very important for some reason. The fact Alice was prepared to do this tainted my whole perception of her.
Then her attitude towards Graham was so cold. She has sex with him on first meeting him, not even knowing his name but knows they are mates, then disses him.
When Graham comes clean to everyone about who he is, Alice has the check to be offended.
The ending with the money for information, exonerated Alice due to a technicality.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Graham just wanted to live his life in peace.
That went out the window when he find that his mate is someone else’s bride.
What are the odds ?
Will he let Alice marry someone else?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
A very enjoyable read. I hadn’t read the prior books in this series and would recommend doing so first, but it would be well worth it. That said, I really like Graham and Alice, these characters are rather sweet – each carrying secrets and both of them unsure how to proceed. As a result, it’s hard to like Alice at first, but true love – and true mates – wins out in the end and their true character shines through. Well worth the read. Enjoy!
Love this series and this book was so rich, filled with love, beauty, reconciliation and passion. If you haven’t started you
this series, you owe it to yourself to do so. Book 10 promises to be spectacular.
