Lassiter Adams is the ruiner, as in, he's digging up acres and acres of land for what he claims will be condos on the premise that he has every right to do it because he's an Adams, too. Not to mention, he had the most money to pay the back taxes no one knew the Adams owed and piles of money talks where the Cedar Glen town council is concerned.
When he shows up with his cash, a few backhoes, and an attitude bigger than all of Cedar Glen, chaos ensues.
Avery does everything short of tie herself to a tree to stop him from desecrating sacred werewolf land—land he doesn't even know belongs to werewolves.
But Avery and Lassiter have a relationship that goes as far back as when they were in high school, and try as she might, Avery can't connect the dots to the once sweet, if odd boy who was her mad high school crush, to this new Lassiter who's always angry and single minded in his search for something he won't explain.
Also odd? His weird relationship with his parakeet . . .
Their differences aside, they both have secrets they've kept all their lives—secrets that, if not spilled, could keep them apart forever . . .

Contains mature themes.
