I knew that I had no chance of escaping him. And, though I was loathe to admit it to myself, part of me was dying to know what this man was offering when he rocked his hips against mine and I felt him hard against me. After her brakes fail and her car slams into a tree on a curvy forest road at night, Ellie is sure she's going to die. The seatbelt is stuck and the engine is on fire. With flames creeping closer, the last thing she wants to hear from the deep, dark woods is the low growl of a wolf. Sam never had any use for women. His loyalties were always with the Howlers Motorcycle Club, his family and pack. Then the beast locked inside him caught her scent on the wind and recognized its mate—and knew she was in danger. When he brings her back to the compound after her grisly accident, she sees something that no outsider is allowed to see...and live. But Sam isn't about to let his pack destroy the woman he's waited a lifetime to hold—or let the woman he's falling for tell their secret to the world. But the loyalty of the wolves and her captivity aren't the only dangers facing Ellie. Someone wants her blood, and the only thing standing between her and death is her leather-clad werewolf.
