Nuit Wolf lives with four of the most trustworthy, noble men he has ever known: Christopher Charming, David Prince, Eric Shoreman, and Adam Craves. Each man has a secret of his own, but these men are not the only ones to know Nuit’s secret.
He has always lived two lives: he walks with humans in a business suit by day and runs wild but alone in black fur at night. The presence of his wilder side has run through the male line of his family for generations; it has been a sacred thing, struck from the family legends and myths, kept hidden from those with ill intent for as long as the men of the Wolf Bloodline have lived.
The only way in is to be born into the fold.
The only way out is death.
Or so the Elders would have their sons believe.
In a cottage well hidden within the greenwood of the Appalachian Mountain chain, Nuit’s is one of the many secrets safely guarded. That is, until he finds himself cornering Rider Russet, in the woods in the middle of a morning storm, just after causing the car she is riding in to crash on her way home. As she suffers from injury and shock over the crash, he makes the transition from wolf to man without thinking in order to have a chance at seducing her. Then, he realizes that he loves her.
After a few hours of passion in the woods with an injured Rider, he must face the repercussions of instigating her “delirium” and using her vulnerability to his advantage.
Will the man keep his dark and twisted secrets hidden, or will the wolf be made to howl his sins at the moon and take his woman properly? And when the wolves of the Pack catch wind of an woman who cries black wolf, will Nuit have to fight his own blood once they learn that their secret may no longer be safe?
