In 1920, a werewolf attack changed Malachi Powers's life forever. Now, a decade later, Malachi lives near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, as a lone wolf, avoiding humans and other werewolves alike.

Two young men, Roger and Jonathan, arrive on the beach below Malachi's cottage with a boat full of illegal hooch. Captivated by his unexpected visitors, Malachi hopes they will return to stay with him. When he learns that the rumrunners have taken Jonathan hostage until Roger repays a debt, Malachi can't allow the two to remain in danger.

Rescuing Jonathan will mean revealing his secret to the two humans, and offering them a home will mean endangering his heart. Malachi's life is about to change again. Possibly forever.

This book includes a scene in which the main character spies, without consent, on two people having sex. It also contains references to past sexual assault and underage male prostitution, and an intimate scene with the three major characters. This book is set in the Real Werewolves Don't Eat Meat universe, albeit a hundred years prior to the events of those books, and is not a direct part of that series.
