City lawyer Eliza Hart inherited a failing Montana ranch, a mountain of debt, and a target on her back. Someone wants her land badly enough to resort to sabotage, and her only hope is the infuriatingly rugged, relentlessly silent security expert, Cade. Cade is more than just a hired gun with watchful eyes and a body carved from granite. He’s a man with a primal secret, a member of an ancient pack sworn to protect the sacred valley her ranch sits upon. Every growl that rumbles in his chest when danger nears isn't just a warning—it’s the beast within recognizing its mate. As the threats escalate from cut fences to midnight fires, the blistering tension between Eliza and Cade ignites into a passion as wild and untamed as the Montana wilderness. In his arms, she discovers a hunger she never knew she possessed. But when the final, vicious attack comes under the light of a full moon, Cade’s control shatters. The last thing Eliza sees before the world dissolves into chaos is the glint of gold in Cade’s eyes and the terrifying, magnificent silhouette of a wolf where her protector once stood. The enemy isn’t just at the gates anymore… he’s standing between her and the monster he’s become.
