Mating Dance

The Matrons of the Tao Pack are on the hunt, seeking out unmated couples who would be a perfect match - even if they don't know it yet. Sander Burrows is a wolf with a broken spirit. During thirty-five years away from home and pack, he made a life for himself among the humans. Now, tragedy and a sense of failure drive him home into the arms of his loving family. Aurora "Rory" Hanson hates Sander almost as much as she loves him. Humiliated at seventeen when he stood her up at the annual spring dance, she has since lived a life of relative solitude on the fringes of the pack. When Sander catches sight and scent of Rory, feelings run hot. His wolf recognizes his mate and he'll do just about anything to overcome Rory's dislike of him. Even accept the assistance of four interfering busybodies. The matrons want the old spring dance revived and what better way to "help" two fated wolves to happiness than to force Rory and Sander to work together on the organizing committee. Finding love doesn't get any easier even for wolves in their fifties. Misunderstandings, old hurts, and the sharp edge of Miss Kathy's tongue must all be overcome if two old friends are to achieve true happiness.
