Evan North has always been a lone wolf—literally and figuratively. As a die-hard Timberwolves fan, he’s used to disappointment, but nothing compares to the struggle of keeping his true nature hidden. One night, drowning his sorrows at his favorite sports bar, he crosses paths with Amara Lewis—a quick-witted, fearless club servicer who doesn’t understand his obsession with basketball but can’t deny his rugged charm.

Evan can’t help but feel drawn to Amara—her scent calms his inner beast, and her fiery spirit stirs something he thought he’d lost. But when a group of rival wolf shifters arrives in town, hellbent on asserting dominance, Evan’s carefully guarded life is threatened. One wrong move, and his secret—and his growing love for Amara—could come crashing down.

When Amara witnesses Evan’s supernatural side, she’s torn between fear and fascination. Just as she starts to accept the truth, danger looms closer. A rival pack is determined to break Evan and take control of the territory. To protect Amara, Evan must embrace his instincts—but that means risking everything.

Can Amara truly accept the man and the wolf? Or will the wildness inside Evan destroy the fragile happiness they’ve found?

In a city where loyalty and love collide, how far will one lone wolf go to protect his heart?
