How far would you go to be with the one you love… your true mate?
Chenoa Benally, a rare coyote shifter who left her Indian reservation years ago, has always wanted to belong to a shifter pack of her own. In Santa Ana, she’s surrounded by bigger, more powerful wolf shifters, but she’s always managed to keep up with them through sheer coyote cunning.
Taylor Blaze, a ruggedly handsome wolf shifter and Chenoa’s long-time friend, would gladly extend an invitation into his pack, making Chenoa a part of a family she never knew she needed. If Taylor had his way, he would have Chenoa at his side as his mate, too.
Only one thing stands in their way: the Prime Alpha, a tyrannical wolf shifter who oversees every shifter pack in the Southern California area. In order to secure a spot in a pack and a mate of her own, Chenoa must face the Prime Alpha in one-on-one combat; something that no one believes a small coyote shifter could ever achieve.
Chenoa knows that the Prime Alpha could easily end her pack chances — and possibly her life — in a single strike. Can she use her wits to outsmart the brutal wolf shifter in the cage, or will her hopes for a pack and Taylor’s dreams for a mate end before they even begin?
Can a coyote shifter become one with a wolf pack?
