Viridian has gotten himself into a real pickle. Desperate not to lose his home, he makes a deal with what he thinks is a nice fairy. Little did Viridian know he was dealing with an unseelie, the darkest, most evil fairies there ever were. Not only did Kalan renege on their deal, but he sends a bounty hunter after Viridian. Afraid of losing his life, Viridian takes off, ending up in Fever’s Edge and getting more than he bargains for. He’s a gazelle, and the man who wants to save him is a wolf. Talk about a slippery slope. Tucker is shocked when he walks into the local diner to discover the gazelle shifter at the counter is his mate. When Viridian tells him the trouble on his heels, Tucker takes his mate home to protect him. Unfortunately, Solo is the bounty hunter after Viridian, and rumor says he always catches what he hunts. But Tucker isn’t going to let anyone take what is his. He’ll protect Viridian with his life.
