About this book
Guilt is a heavy burden to carry, especially for an Alpha like Ethan. After a devastating failure that nearly cost a pack member her life, he abandons the safety of Grey Ridge to hunt those responsible. For Ethan, this journey is strictly about redemption and vengeance. He has no room in his hardened heart for distractions, and he certainly isn't looking for the mate he once thought he lost.
But fate has a wicked sense of humor. When Ethan is forced into close proximity with his fated match, the cold wall he has built around his soul begins to fracture. What starts as a clash of wills quickly ignites into a volatile, enemies-to-lovers dance that neither of them can resist. As they navigate the dangerous wilderness, the pack dynamics and shared burdens of their history threaten to tear them apart before they can even begin.
This fifth installment in the Shifters of Grey Ridge series is a pulse-pounding paranormal romance filled with the humor, sass, and intense chemistry fans have come to expect. If you crave stories defined by found-family loyalty, high-stakes wolf shifter action, and a hard-won happily ever after, this steamy journey is your next must-read addiction.

This was so good!!!! I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing right from the start.

Now on to Chase's story.... ) One person...
