Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard.

The two packs have not intermingled in years, most people call wolves from Mangata "ghosts" because they are rarely seen and if there's one thing that every Tikanni wolf knows, it's not to walk that line. But Levi doesn't give a damn. He has a job to do, ghost wolves or not. However Eve is certainly not a ghost, if anything, she's a vision of bright flaming red hair who happens to be his mate. He's an arrogant male, and she's a stubborn female--both of them from the wrong side of the pack line. But the moon has her reason and her will. Levi is not about to let Eve walk away from him, but Eve isn't just going to simply walk over the line.
