Roman Sharpe, former Major in the Napoleonic Wars, has inherited the Lordship of Trevallen Manor and two little girls with the death of his brother. Dark, silent and brooding, Roman opens his doors to Emma Reid, a soft-spoken Londoner, who is alone in the world after the death of her father. The two slowly begin to discover hidden truths about their lives, their passions, and ultimately, themselves.

Set in the 1860's or so! The life of a lone wolf is a dangerous one. Holding onto your territory without the help of a pack can prove to be deadly. Grange Michaels has managed to do that for years. This tiny western frontier town is his. Those he considers his pack are humans and he protects them viciously. No one knows what Grange is, though there are rumors about his seemingly constant state of youth. Yes being a lone wolf has its difficulties but Grange liked it that way. Then he meets his mate, a young mortal woman, and suddenly he starts dreaming of starting a pack of his own. All of that, his town, his people, his mate, his future, are threatened when a rival pack tries to move in and of course they want to wipe out the competition. Can Grange win his mortal mate, save her life and the town, while also avoiding the monster hunting lynch mobs? Or is this the end of the lone wolf's reign?
