Blackridge is the largest pack in the region, and Blake Hunter is its Alpha. Plagued with rogue attacks, uninvited guests, and whispers of war; finding his mate is the last thing on his mind. But when a young woman stumbles across his borders and into his arms, he soon finds himself torn between duty and desire. Wolf? Human? Friend or foe? No one seems the know, least of all her. And it's not long before Blake starts to wonder how much the truth will cost him. When her past returns to claim her, will he risk his pack's safety to keep her by his side? or will the shadows that surround them tear them apart for good?
