I was once destined to lead—until my unborn brother claimed the title of heir to the pack. Now I'm left with an uncertain future and may have to resign myself to being Beta; a role I never wanted.

When my parents are called to advise a neighboring pack, they encourage me to join them, and I'm forced to face my childhood rival. Roarke. After the death of his parents, he is stepping up in his role as Alpha, and seeing him again changes everything for me.

What begins as a political visit turns into something far more complicated. The bond between us is undeniable, but so are the secrets he's hiding. Is Roarke's attraction genuine...or is he simply using me for his own gain?
