When Lucia prevents her father from shooting a wolf hiding in a cave on their farm, she unwittingly triggers a train of events that take the reader full circle from farm to the pack's headquarters and right back to the farm again. A mother, thought dead, re-appears in Lucia's life and turns her daughter's world, as she knows it, upside down. Add in a reluctant hero, shifter, and you get Zalin. A loner, who intends to leave the pack he joined two years previously, that is until Lucia saves his life.

Complicated enough to hold your attention? Well there's more, much more. Add in Lucia's half-sister and a rebuffed lover and the author simply 'ups-the-ante'. Oh! Did I forget to mention kidnap and murder? There's that too.

Too much, you think? No. It all works perfectly in a seamless switch from one event to another. And all because Lucia saved the life of one lone wolf. The author's fluent writing style will captivate your attention and keep you reading to the end of this charming -- yes charming -- story. Her settings have a vibrancy that involves the reader totally. And her characters, major and minor, carry you with them from start to finish. This is a book this reader will return to often.
