Sebastian Volkov, a fox shifter raised among werewolves, ran from everything he ever loved after a brutal attack that left him fearing his own shadow. That night a single kiss saved his life and left him with fantasies of a man whose face he couldn't remember. When Sebastian's car breaks down in a small Washington town, he meets an Alpha werewolf who reminds him vaguely of a stranger's kiss.

A year ago Liam Ulrich, Alpha of the Northern Cascade's Pack, shared a magic filled kiss with a virtual stranger, the infamous Witchblood child of the most powerful werewolf in the world. Since that night, Liam has been waiting for Sebastian to find his way home. Liam knows that Sebastian doesn't trust easily, or at all, so he's going to have to give his prickly mate time and space.

The past Sebastian tried to escape still stalks him and slowing down gives it time to catch up.
When the werewolves' ultimate enemy rises up to cast its shadow over them all, Sebastian realizes he will have to stop running or risk losing everything.... including his hope of a future with Liam.
