When a fellow shifter's mysterious activities threaten her pack, hardened former Marine Dee-Ann Smith won't stop until she exposes the truth—even if it means partnering with her charming, infuriatingly capable boss Ric Van Holtz. Ric has been patiently waiting for his chance with the fierce she-wolf, and a dangerous undercover operation is the perfect opportunity to prove he's exactly the kind of partner she needs. As their investigation heats up and their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore, Dee-Ann discovers that real strength might look different than she expected—and that letting someone in doesn't mean losing control. This is a delicious blend of action, witty banter, and swoon-worthy romance that'll have you cheering for two characters who are absolutely perfect together.
