Lysander is a male half-breed shape-shifter. He shouldn't be able to have heats, but that is exactly what happens. And when his nature causes his own pack to betray him, Lysander is forced to flee the only home he's ever known.
Now on the run, Lysander seeks help in a Bearer shelter, but even there, he is haunted by his past. It all seems hopeless -- until Callaghan steps in.
Upon hearing a mysterious pack killer apparently attacked a Bearer shelter, Callaghan wants to help. But things are not what they seem, and instead of finding the crazed werewolf he'd heard so much about, Callaghan meets his mate, a mate who is in dire need of someone to help him.
Lysander knows he can't afford to hope. Callaghan knows he can't force a bond onto someone who has already been through so much.
And yet, as they find themselves growing closer, the fire between them starts to consume all their doubts. Will it be enough, or will the shadows of Lysander's past consume them?
