​

After spending over half his life with no one but his grandmother, Nikkolai Irving longs for his own space and the freedom to do what he wants, whenever he wants it. It’d also help that if he’s alone, he can hurt no one but himself. When the Cooper Pack send the call for an emissary, Nikkolai thinks this is finally his chance to break the metaphorical umbilical cord.

​

After his ex-girlfriend comes close to murdering his entire family, all right under his unsuspecting nose, Miles Cooper doesn’t believe he’ll be the best alpha for his pack after all. With his twenty-sixth birthday, and hence his unofficial succession as the Cooper Alpha coming up, the pressure is on.

​

When some of the town’s residents begin acting strange, Miles thinks solving this mystery just might be his last chance at proving himself, while Nikkolai thinks it’s an opportunity to do the one thing he’s always wanted: help those in need, even if it comes at the expense of himself. 

​

The absolute last thing either of them intend to do is fall in love.
