In a changing world, violent fae encroachment on shifter land makes the impossible necessary—an alliance between predator and prey.

Nicca Baron, wolf beta, balks when assigned to a mission led by Evan Grant, the rat alpha. In different circumstances, he'd be dinner, or so her wolf keeps reminding her. But Evan proves to be a perceptive leader, a skilled fighter, and irresistible to her lonely heart.

To rule the rats, you must rule the pack. Evan is a master at managing groups—until he finds himself commanding large shifters who challenge his authority at every turn. The only bright light is calm, capable Nicca. Her succulent curves offer the perfect place for a rat to nestle.

In each other's arms, Nicca and Evan discover new perspectives in an off-kilter world. But a wolf cannot mate with a rat, no matter the strength of the human attraction.
