Trevor Burbank is a shifter cop in a world of humans who don't know the evil that wants them dead. If he does his job well, the humans will never need to know, but he feels like he's working against the clock, because his pack is about to die. The females have all been killed, and the half-breeds they make when they mate with humans aren't skilled or strong enough to fight. Gabriela Carmi has lost everything that means anything to her way too fast and now she feels like she’s losing her mind, too. On a quest to find something that won't reveal itself to her, she feels as if she’s pining for someone who may not exist, so when an evil presence begins to follow her, she isn't sure if her mind is slowly falling apart, or if the impossible is actually coming true. When an instant attraction sparks between her and the dangerously sexy police officer sent to help her, it makes matters worse and better at the same time. It's a race against time to find the angel/human hybrid One True Mates that the pack's spiritual leaders say truly exist. Saving the shifter clans is on everyone's mind, except for the chosen, the One True Mates, most of whom don’t even know who or what they really are, or why they seem to be slowly losing their minds. You've NEVER read a shifter romance, or a fated mates romance like this before. This is a republication of One True Mate 1, after a rights reversion back to Lisa Ladew. less

It's been four long years since the last book in the One True Mate series (book 10) came out. So what happened?Did I stop writing? Nope.Did the story knock me on the ground and drag me through the mud? Heck, yes.Here's the deal—when I realized I wasn't going to finish One True Mate 11 in 2024, I took four months off from working on it, and started the only thing that wouldn't shift my focus too far away from it, and that's where we are now. This is it, this book right here... moreIt's been four long years since the last book in the One True Mate series (book 10) came out. So what happened?Did I stop writing?

In it, I reveal what state 11 is in right now (working SO hard on it), and I include a generalized retelling of what's happened in the series so far (picture it, Serenity, 2016…), told by Timber and Canyon.Pssstt, plus a sneak peek of 11! Shhh, don’t tell anyone.This book is packed with an illegal amount of exclusive fiction for a companion book, but since there's no book police, we're good to go, so let's do it!
