Red wolf Kira Westwood is on a mission with the United Shifter Force where she’s trying to track down kidnappers who are gray wolf shifters. What she doesn’t expect is to find a wounded gray wolf—shifter type—who’s an innocent bystander and the boy who has been taken hostage. Now her mission is complicated by leaps and bounds. Fisher Greystoke can’t believe a walk in the national park has led to nearly being killed and meeting the prettiest red she-wolf he has ever met. But there’s no time for anything but helping her go after kidnappers and joining the United Shifter Force so he can get to know the red wolf a whole lot better while ensuring the rogue wolves don’t take them down first--permanently.
