Jake has been watching over his mate from afar for years, hurting himself knowing he was hurting Patrick.

Patrick and Jake have known each other forever and when they learn they are mates they are ecstatic, but Jake pushes Patrick away to protect him causing them both years of pain. Throughout the other books in the series I could tell there was something about Jake and Patrick, but didn’t know for sure. This is a wonderful addition to the Holland Brothers series. They say time heals all wounds, but how much time? The next ten years are nothing but torture for Jake as he watches his mate grow into a remarkable young man. Jake does the only thing he can think of, protect Patrick. Knowing the news might uplift his still grieving father, Jake shares the news only to have his young mate threatened.

Jake Richmond never expected to come home from Uni to find the youngest Holland brother was his mate. Split by forces he can’t comprehend and a long line of misunderstandings, Patrick doubts he’ll ever get the man he’s both loved and hated. The next ten years-ten long years- of Patrick’s life are spent at odds with his mate. His heart broke, but at sixteen he was too young to do anything. Finding his mate should have been Patrick Holland’s greatest day, instead it turned into a nightmare with one phone call.
