It has nothing to with the fact that Elise-the most fascinating woman he's ever laid eyes on-is part of the pack. Mikhail has wanted Elise for years, but being with her could cost him his life. Soon he'll have to decide if he's going to leave the pack or risk it all to pursue a place at her side. After escaping her abusive mate, Elise LaForge has made a home in Salvation with her sons. She never expected to have her emotions stirred up by the always serious and seriously handsome Mikhail. But can she finally put her past behind her and dare to move on? When danger creeps into the pack, both she and Mikhail have to be willing to sacrifice everything to have a chance at love.
