Everything is for the good of the pack, but Hunter isn’t a wolf. The last eighteen months have been the most tumultuous—and the most gratifying—of Hunter Bailey’s life. With Angus at his side, he thought he could endure anything, but Hunter is still reeling from losing Leigh. How is he supposed to live with himself, knowing he caused his friend's death?

It is a dictum that has served him well, but there’s little he can do when his boyfriend's worst enemy is his own conscience. There’s no ripping the throat out of a nagging thought. When Hunter asks to be transformed, Angus finds himself at a crossroads. He knows their relationship won’t survive if he refuses. While a life-changing choice is being made, bodies are piling up and humans have started to notice. The police are asking questions, and a wolfhunter with ties to the pack has the couple in his crosshairs.

As their bickering relationship blossoms into a passionate love affair, Ama thinks she may have finally found a place to call home. But, Wharton isn’t just the quintessential vacation town. A series of grisly murders rocks the small community, threatening to expose the whole pack. Everyone is a suspect. And, unfortunately for Ama, her past has no intention of staying buried, either.
