Now that his friend and alpha has claimed the werewolf throne, Nick Sarseen should be free to claim his own mate. Unfortunately, she doesn't want a mate. She wants him, just not all the way and definitely not the bite that would tie them together permanently. Convincing her to accept him will take time and patience. He isn't sure if he has enough of either though, when he learns her best kept secret.

Maggie Sanders has always been at the center of the pack and popular outside it, which makes her a perfect intelligence source for the Regis. It also helps her aid women escaping rogue werewolves in a secret network very few know about. When Gage rats her out, Nick is furious, especially when he finds out how dangerous her next mission is. Can he accept the woman she is or will he lose her forever?
