The alphas of Hudson River, Sutter Butte and the Yukon packs are the pivots upon which the world of the wolves will change. River Wolf Brett Dalton is the Alpha of Hudson River and since one of his wolves went mad and murdered several members of his pack beneath his nose, he’s isolated himself from his pack mates. The once, easygoing Alpha has become taciturn, remote and unforgiving. The pack faces the threat of dissolution until Brett’s best friend and Lone Wolf, Luc Danes returns to Hudson River accompanied by Colby, a beautiful young human—or is she? Something about the woman consumes Brett. Then Colby sees the wolves…and is exposed to a world she can barely imagine. When Luc offers to keep her with him, Brett suddenly rouses at the challenge. Now she will find herself torn between two men—one she cares about and one she could love. Desert Wolf Cassius, Alpha of Sutter Butte, leads the most ruthless and dangerous pack in the United States. Sometimes pitiless and cruel, he wants more for his people than a yearly bloodbath as they fight for a new place, a better spot in the pecking order. To change his pack, means to change himself and he will find rebellion on all sides, not the least of which is his own defiant heart. Sovvan Stark, Omega of Delta Crescent, lives a cherished, life in the center of her pack. While she might hold within her the key to helping the Sutter Butte Alpha, the undertaking could very well kill her. Snow Wolf Ranae is the youngest of the Buckleys. Her restlessness and dominant nature affected her every relationship within Willow Bend. When her Alpha and eldest brother ask her to undertake a mission to the Yukon territory, she’s thrilled at the opportunity to be useful. Clashing with the Alpha was the last thing she expected on the dangerous assignment. The oldest Alpha in the U.S. packs lives a gray existence. The loss of his mate so many decades before wears away at him until he doesn’t give a damn about anything. The problems of the other packs are not his, and he prefers to be left to his isolation. The arrival of the Chief Enforcer annoys him, but it is the wolf traveling with him who wakes the predator in Diesel. The scent of mate clings to her, but she rejects his overtures and challenges him on every level. War may be coming for the Yukon, but Diesel’s battle is very personal…
