Part of The Wolves of Mercy Falls, book 2
First published 2010
Grace and Sam have found each other, but staying together means confronting the forces that could tear them apart. Sam must reckon with his werewolf past while Grace faces an increasingly uncertain future. Their fragile world shifts when Cole arrives, a new wolf carrying hurt and danger from his former life. Cole struggles with his own internal war, choosing the wolf's existence while rejecting his human connections. Grace, Sam, and Cole each battle the constant pull between their two natures. Love reveals its contradictory faces in their lives. It brings both ecstasy and torment, liberation and captivity, attraction and fear. As everything they know crumbles around them, love remains the one constant. The question becomes whether love alone can sustain them through the chaos.
