Bear shifter Rune hates wolf shifters. Wolves and the hunter organization Archangel have taken too much from him and the only good wolf is a dead wolf . . . so when a howl goes up in Black Ridge territory, Rune is out for blood. Only he's not prepared for the sleek, beautiful, and fiery female he finds trapped in a hunter's snare . . . or the shadow of his past she has on her tail. On the run from a pack leader determined to enslave her, Callie is desperate to reach the sanctuary of the White Wolf pack. When she finds herself caught in a trap, things look as if they can't get any worse . . . until a mountain of a man emerges from the night, an ice-cold bear who is equal parts alluring and terrifying, and might just be the key to securing her freedom. Can Callie crack the ice around Rune's heart and convince him to help her? And when the price of his revenge is risking getting another female killed, will Rune be willing to pay it? Contains mature themes.
