Fated New Year by A.R. Hall

Avalon Vale had given up on finding her mate a long time ago. Her kind didn’t have a way to tell. All that mattered was that she had her best friend in her life, Asher.
Asher Orion never expected to find his mate. He didn’t bother looking either. Then his animal told him the secret. It was his best friend.
A kiss changed everything. She let it go too far. So she ran.
He messed up. He needed to tell her, but she was gone… for months.
She was given an opportunity of a lifetime, she couldn’t turn it down.
The pull to be with one another is too strong.
Now she knows the truth.
Can they forgive one another for holding back?Avalon Vale had given up on finding her mate a long time ago. Her kind didn’t have a way to tell. All that mattered was that she had her best friend in her life, Asher.
