Charles Cornick and Anna Latham head to Arizona for a rare vacation. Charles wants to surprise his mate Anna with a birthday horse, far from his usual duties as his werewolf father's enforcer. The couple expects nothing more challenging than ranch visits and horse shopping. Instead, they stumble into supernatural danger when they discover a malevolent Fae creature stalking human families. This ancient being steals children and leaves magical duplicates in their place. The parents never realize their real children are gone. As Charles and Anna investigate, they uncover a larger threat. The Fae's hidden conflict with humanity is escalating toward open war. The couple finds themselves caught between two worlds preparing for battle. Charles must balance his protective instincts with Anna's growing confidence as a werewolf. Anna faces her own challenges as she learns to trust her supernatural abilities. Together, they race to stop the child-stealing Fae before more families are destroyed and before the supernatural cold war explodes into something far worse.
