Werewolf alpha Caleb hoped that moving his pack to Glendale, Arizona, would be a fresh start. The shifter politics in Los Angeles had gotten out of hand, and he’d heard that things were better in the Valley of the Sun. The plan was open a bar as a base for the pack and keep a low profile. The problem is his new city has its own trouble in the form of the True Sons, a werewolf biker gang who don’t appreciate a new pack showing up in their territory. Graduate student Sarah heard about a new biker bar opening and thought it’d be a great source for her research. When she ends up in the middle of a werewolf battle, she learns there’s a lot more to the world than she ever suspected, including a spark with the hunky Caleb. Drawn to the beautiful woman, Caleb is determined to protect her from the vicious True Sons and even a few arrogant weredragons with delusions of grandeur. Turns out life’s just not so simple in the desert.

It’s always hot in the desert. Malcolm’s life is supposed to be simple, nothing more than following his alpha’s orders and protecting the pack. Unfortunately, simple doesn’t mean satisfying, no matter how many bikers he beats down. The recent pack move to Arizona still doesn’t sit well with the beta werewolf, and he’s annoyed with the trash that frequents their bar. Something is missing from his life, and he doesn’t know what it is. With Christmas approaching, the painful memories of his early life threaten to swallow him. Dancer Irina has dedicated her life to grace and beauty, but the dark shadow of an obsessive monster hangs over her. She fled to America to start over, but a phone call reminds her that some problems aren’t so easy to escape. Even then, the dancer finds herself drawn to the handsome and straight-forward Malcolm and allows herself the audacity of hope. Now, a deadly threat is on its way to America and shared passion might be enough to steam up the windows, but not to protect the love Irina dared chase.
