Compromise isn't in Warrick’s vocabulary and Xander won't abandon the hunt. As the line between instinct and intellect blurs, will they survive the fallout? A blonde, a brunette and a monster walk into a bar and all hell breaks loose. It should trigger a bad joke, but days from a full moon Xander Cade, Tracker for the Northwest Motoki Pack, finds nothing funny about confronting an enraged Shifter in a crowded Portland nightclub filled with unsuspecting humans. The resulting carnage frays an already thinning veil of secrecy shielding the supernatural Kyn community from public scrutiny and ensures she can’t escape the one man she’s determined to avoid, her Alpha and mate, Warrick Vidis. Dominating, protective and compelling, Warrick threatens her individuality like no other. As the Northwest Alpha wolf, compromise isn’t in Warrick Vidis’s vocabulary, but when his reluctant mate, Xander, refuses to abandon the hunt for a killer, he’ll use whoever or whatever necessary to protect her and his pack. His normally steely ruthless control is strained by a series of anonymous threats and unusual deaths involving lone wolves. Add in Xander’s continued reluctance to accept their Soul bond, and the line between intellect and instinct begins to blur, making him question if one woman’s love and acceptance is enough to save both man and wolf. As the danger escalates, Warrick and Xander must learn to trust each other and accept their rare bond or risk losing everything—their pack, their friends and each other. ***This revised edition contains the Kyn short story, ENSNARED BY SHADOWS*** Deception leaves a tangled web...
