Murdock Whitfield is the powerful leader of his coven. He rules with authority and fairness. No one questions his strength or his decisions. Unfortunately, the knowledge he possesses has sentenced him to a life of loneliness. His mother's vision had foretold that his beloved would die because of his love. He refuses to allow that to happen.

Alec Quinn has escaped the breeding stable of Tuath with his brother and their friends. He hopes to find the one man who is his true match. He is drawn to Murdock's kindness and tenderness, knowing within his heart that Murdock was destined to be his, and would be a loving father to their babies.

Murdock has no choice. He has to reject Alec--even though not having Alec in his life will destroy him. He can't risk the safety of the man he loves. Challenging fate was dangerous. Was it too much to hope that their love would save them both?

Author's Note:
The men you'll meet in this series will have their own love stories told in future novels.

While Murdock's Mate is the first book in the Murdock's Coven, My Beloved series, it is suggested that Burke's Law, the first book in Burke's Pack, Mates of the Lost Wolves series, be read first for continuity.
