Kidnapped at eighteen, secretly bitten and turned, Bronte Hannigan has lost over a year to a cruel Were and his wolf pack, members of a preter gang known as The Arm. Now that her Alpha's crimes have finally caught up with him, she is determined to make a new life, the reason she's braving a blizzard and an icy mountain road to get to Branson. Photographer and performer Erik Thorne lives alone in a cabin, surrounded by miles of Missouri woods. He's at peace with his solitary world until a very special girl in a stolen truck literally crashes into it. Has fate in the form of Danu, a fiery goddess ancestor, sent Bronte's truck careening into that ravine? Or is someone far more dangerous to blame--an evil Were who believes she knows too much about The Arm to live?
