By pack law, all unmated females must attend the moonlight festival for mating rights.

Mali harbors a secret kept hidden her entire life.  She's lived in hiding, never knowing the companionship of the wolf pack. Never dreaming of having a family of her own. If she's discovered, there's a chance she may not survive pack punishment for her deception.

The feverish heat hits her hard when Jaxon barges into her life and takes her unwillingly to the festival. He's scarred, bitter, and the only man she can trust to assuage the debilitating urge to mate.
