Sloane secures a mate before the bonding hall closes.
Sloane devoted fifteen years and ninety-nine proposals to winning Grant, the ward her family raised. On their ceremony day he abandons her in formal attire from dawn to dusk to nurse a steward's daughter's injured puppy. Refusing another moment of waiting, she issues a single invitation to Rowan, the formidable lion heir who once courted her. He crosses the threshold of Bond Hall before it seals and becomes her mate. Later at Hartwell Manor, Grant insists no other man could want her until Rowan appears and declares the bond.
