My husband of two weeks was lying to me. I just didn't know he was hiding claws. Riker Maddox-Wall Street shark, gentle giant, and my perfect new husband-drags me to meet his family on a remote Canadian island he's avoided for seven years. Within 24 hours, I discover: • He can turn into a 9-foot grizzly bear • Shifters are real and I'm surrounded by them • I'm "fated mate" to FOUR men, not just one • The island's alpha can crush me with her mind • Someone is murdering shifters across North America Before I can process any of it, a deadly conference brings hundreds of predators to the island-including rivals who thinks "unmarked human" means "fair game."
