Werewolf Alpha of the Coeur d’Alene Lake Pack, Liam Northman, is pretending to be human. He is in need of a den to lay low for a few months, and the only place that will give him a short-term lease is located right in the middle of human territory. Werewolves and humans stay separate, and for good reason. He’s dangerous. When he sees a human woman cornered by a suitor, he can’t help but step in. His protective instincts have always been overwhelming, but this soft-spoken beauty is doing things to his inner animal that make no sense at all. Humans and werewolves do not mix, and especially Alphas and submissives, but here he is, risking exposure to spend time with the beguiling woman who is off-limits for an animal like him. As a new Alpha, Liam is supposed to choose a mate that is arranged for him, but all he can think about is Nory. If she finds out what he is, she will run. If her people find out, they will banish him back to werewolf territory. If his people find out, she could be hunted. He is supposed to be an Alpha who puts his Pack first, but the more time he spends with Nory Hunter, the more he thinks his entire species could use a change. Nory Hunter wishes she could be normal. Being a shy introvert has always made her feel like she is an outsider, but one chance meeting with a tall, broody, sexy stranger has her rethinking everything. Around him, she isn’t at war with herself. Around him, her life makes more sense. Around him, she is finally finding her voice. Too bad his eyes are too bright, and his voice too snarly to pass for human. He sticks out here, and she knows exactly why people get out of his way if they see him coming. She isn’t allowed to be with a werewolf, so why does she keep finding ways to run into him? Liam and Nory are both on a crash-course to destruction, and everything falls apart when their worlds collide. Is loyalty enough to keep Liam’s Pack together?
