Welcome to the sensual world of the Lupine, where the burning drive to mate claims all...
Home from college, where men teased her for being overweight, Beth doesn't fit into pack life at the Mitchell ranch. Because sheโs forgotten how to shift into a wolf, the pack alpha has ordered her to choose a mate or leave. The only male Beth desires is Dale, a fiercely protective Lupine who loathes the human lifestyle she embraces. She hungers for the handsome shifterโs touch, but fears their differences are too vast to overcome.
Dale has waited for four long years for Bethโs return. Her scent ignites his desire and her voluptuous body fires his blood. He is determined to awaken her to the sensual world of the Lupine. Although she acts more โSkinโ than wolf, he canโt deny his overwhelming drive to claim her.
As the heat of passion threatens to consume them both, a new peril arises. Someone is killing a local rancherโs livestock and blaming it on wolves, endangering the packโs ability to shapeshift. It will take all Bethโs courage and Daleโs skill to find the enemy threatening to destroy their world...
