The evil wolf Isengrim has captured Ryan's mother and brother, and has plans to sacrifice them as part of a dark spell to swell his shifter army with Barghests - terrifying spectral dogs that feast on the blood of battle.

Only Ryan and Alex stand in the way of an all out human-shifter war - and with Ryan's art exhibition only days away, the couple need to focus all their cunning on coming up with a way to stop the wolf massacring the entire village of Crookshollow.

Now that they are mated, Alex knows Ryan will do anything to protect her. But with her fox-genes awakened inside her, she must now control her passions and keep her hands off Ryan long enough to out-fox their toughest foe.
