Blood and love: these are the things that rule Tyrone. Leopard and man fight each other daily, neither ever fully gaining control. Every instinct must be kept in check. There is but one person tethering him to sanity. Melissa. His angel. She is the only light in his darkness. While, within himself, Tyrone fights one precarious battle, outside he must fight another. The Nevada Pride has brought the fight to Blackburn soil and spilled innocent blood. Swift retaliation is necessary as wolves, felines, and bears must come together to protect their families and secure their lands before Nevada strikes again. Unfortunately, Tyrone and his twin sister are known for breaking the rules. Their feline family has never wholly trusted the wolves and now the feeling might be mutual. When Tyrone risks everything to protect two escaping hostages straight from enemy territory, he is put at odds with the Blackburn alpha in order to secure their safety. And Kasey Blackburn is not a man to cross…especially not under the circumstances. As battles are waged inside and out of the Nevada and Blackburn packs, deception threatens their bonds. Can they unite against their enemies? Is Tyrone strong enough to control his beast? Or, will his darkness be the one thing that destroys them all?
