Publisher's summary

Something big is going on in this town.

Police officer Darren Callaghan has been hunting for the cause of a burned mountain on the outskirts of Leadville, Colorado, but when a woman goes missing, he can’t help the feeling that they are connected somehow. A call comes in that some fences have been cut, and he finds a ragtag group of trespassers is squatting on some abandoned land outside of town. This is his moment. This is the missing piece. This is his chance to figure out all of the strange occurrences that have been piling up lately. The trespassers he questions aren’t what he expected though, especially not the dark-haired beauty that seems to be leading these snarling people. Aspen is gorgeous, protective, smart, and courageous, but it’s clear to see she’s hiding something behind those bright-gold eyes…something dangerous that will change the course of his life forever.

Aspen Moore is a werewolf on her very last chance.

Tired of running from wars her last Alpha started, she’s pulling one last desperate move to find sanctuary for the Trader Pack in the mountains of Colorado. Her Pack is in need of an Alpha who can keep them safe, but no one wants to tether themselves to a Pack that is being hunted. One meeting in the woods with a handsome police officer throws everything she thought she knew into a tailspin. Nothing is as it seems near Promise Falls, but perhaps a big, powerful, dominant man in uniform is just what she and her friends need to stay alive. Falling for him is a horrible idea, but the heart wants what it wants. The more she gets to know him, the more she wants to protect him from what is coming for the Trader Pack, and now she must choose—the life of her Pack, or the life of the man she’s falling in love with.

Buckle up for this wild ride as two new Alphas battle for one territory. War has come to Promise Falls. Lines will be drawn, boundaries will be crossed, and alliances will be destroyed as once again, love fights to conquer all.

Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of shifter secrets. This series is mid-war and mid-establishing territory lines. If you aren’t up for wolf fights, this won’t be your jam, but if you’re up for action-adventure love stories with a side of werewolf growly-growly-fight-fights, this one’s for you.

Two Packs, one territory.

May the best werewolves win.

One of my faves!

So so many things to love about this story! Marsden is a continuous surprise to me. His thoughts and actions plus past activities. Then add Carly to the mix and they fit together. I have so many passages highlighted but my favorite one is the first time he touches her as a test then she come back with a head rest on his cheat. That is a special moment between the two that I really felt that haze right along with them. Very well written!

I feel like I say this with every book but this is one of my favorites. We see a lot of growth between the two main characters plus Stark. Nit sure what the next in the series will be about but I am sure it will be on par with the first three.
