Branded by my pack Alpha.Betrayed by my mother.Raised on lies and falsehoods.The betrayal just as twisted and hideous as the deep scars I now carry.My one chance for freedom is to run to the only other wolf who escaped the San Francisco pack. leave my past behind, hoping for protection, a new home, a new pack and a chance to live free. The last thing I ever dream of finding is a mate.ut falling into Gunner Bodolf's arms is as simple as breathing in his irresistible scent. And once he kisses me, I can't walk away.I ran from hell and ended up in heaven. Unfortunately, the deadly danger I left behind tracks me across the country to the middle of nowhere, Texas.My past will never let me go without a challenge, but I refuse to run ever again. To protect my new life, my new pack, my new mate, I will stand and fight.

I had a plan: Get out of San Francisco. Go home to Albuquerque. Start my new job.Two years under the stifling San Francisco pack rules made the wolf inside of me long to break free. Run wild. Feel the red clay of New Mexico beneath my paws.But, on my way home, I made a side trip to Comfort, Texas, where all of my best-laid plans took a sudden unexpected turn.I hadn't planned for Dain Louvel. Okay, so maybe I'd secretly hoped to see him, again, but I didn't expect to be blindsided by the rush of feelings I had buried almost two years ago. I'd moved on. Well, sort of.The problem is, I hadn't planned on the sakana bond, that rare and precious bond few wolves ever experienced, to connect our minds, our bodies, and our souls. But it happened.And all my plans, well...I also hadn't planned on fighting for my life.But, yeah, stuff happens in Comfort, Texas. I really should've planned better.
