With hunters, rogue wolves, humans and packs bearing down on her, Mira almost regrets leaving the Yellowstone wolf pack three years ago. Every single one of them has different reasons for pursuing her, but so far, no one has been able to catch up with her. She has the scars to prove that not all of her escapes had been easy. After a particularly grueling night of escapes, she finds herself at the wrong end of the hunters’ guns. When one of the hunters steps too close, she grabs his knife. A hostage is her best chance for survival. With his knife at his throat, she slips away once again, but this time she doesn’t get away alone. Despite her warnings, she has no doubt that the hunters will follow her and he’ll be the perfect leverage. Slowly, they both see a different side to the other. As they reveal their pasts, new challenges present themselves. Challenges that could either make or break what they just found in each other.

Willow's had to fight to get to where she is now. She doesn't need anyone telling her what to do or how to do it. Her life is perfect the way it is, but it's near impossible for her to fulfill her wants of keeping her independent lifestyle. For starters, Willow isn't even human; she's a Volpe (fox-shifter), but being a Volpe is more complicated than simply being able to shift into a fox. For thousands of years, there were only humans and for those thousands of years, they killed each other over the color of their skin. But that was then. Now shifters are an everyday part of life and no one cares about the color of a person's skin: it's their species, and it's even worse than it was between humans and the levels of melanin in their skin. Volpes are the most hated of all the species. Supposedly cunning and deceitful to many, they are discriminated against and viewed as nuisances. Lupos (wolf-shifters) hate them most of all, with Volpes returning the favor. Lupos - with their powerful packs and Alphas throughout the world - have the obvious social advantage over Volpes, but that doesn't stop the world from turning and the natural course of events to happen. Every shifter will eventually find and bond to a person who compliments them in every sense for no other reason than a cruel twist of their reproductive biology. With little to no conscious decision as to who their "mate" will be, two shifters - two strangers - are forced together, their fates forever intertwined because of a chance encounter. To many, this is seen as a blessing, but to Willow, a so-called "soul-mate" is the farthest thing from her mind. Will the sparks fly or will the fists fly when she realizes that a member of the very species she resents so passionately is her mate? How can a Lupo ever be with a Volpe when all they see each other as are the harmful stereotypes of their species? How will their bond evolve into something that uncovers secrets decades in the making?
