Her Protective Mate by Theresa Hissong

Aspen Ward and her wolf yearn for a mate and family of her own, but she knows it’s an impossibility living so far away from any humans. The arrival of his brother’s plane, and the customer they service with supplies, and she soon realizes why her mating scent is so strong around the human male.

Booker Dupree has lived in the wild Alaskan backcountry for over ten years. He hasn’t wanted anything but the peace and quiet it brings him. Until he strikes up a friendship with the woman who works at the air service he uses to get to civilization.

When an emergency call comes from Booker, Aspen heads out on her own to give him aide. The same shifters who killed their family find her with the human male, and they want her dead. Aston will prove his worth to her when he becomes the protector and destined mate she’s been hoping for all along.
