Russell has always liked his men the same way he likes his sex: fast, hard, and without any emotional attachments. As leader of not only a pack of rogue Wolf shifters but also of almost every illegal enterprise in the shifter world, Russell knows he's not the type to ever find a mate and settle down. Then Dalton slips into his life, turning it upside down. Not only is Dalton a Lynx shifter, he's also sweet and innocent: everything that Russell never liked in a man...or so he thought. But Dalton has a tragic past, which left him scarred inside and out, without a family... and Dalton discovers that Russell may have had something to do with that tragedy just as Russell thinks he's finally going to be able to claim his mate. Will Dalton be able to forgive Russell, or will their love be doomed to end before it even begins?
