Part of Psy-Changeling, book 9.5
First published 2013
Cooper commands respect as a SnowDancer lieutenant, but patience has never been his strength. The dominant changeling wolf wants Grace in his life and his bed, yet she remains beyond his reach. Grace occupies the lowest ranks of their pack hierarchy. She dreams of Cooper's touch but knows the gulf between them makes any relationship impossible. Cooper represents everything dangerous that a submissive wolf like Grace should avoid. Her erotic fantasies leave her aching, but reality demands she keep her distance from the lieutenant who could destroy her careful balance. Cooper refuses to accept the pack's unwritten rules. He decides to court Grace despite the obstacles, forcing himself to exercise unprecedented control over both his human and wolf sides. Grace must choose between the safety of submission and the risk of claiming what she truly wants. Their attraction threatens to upend everything both wolves understand about their places in the pack.
