Publisher's Synopsis
Tareth McConnell has learned not to count on anyone other than herself. She definitely is NOT in the market for a relationship. But the first time she sees the man with the long braid on the subway, she's drawn to him.
The first time Justin Ruel speaks to Tareth, he knows there's something special about her. Something that calls to him as clearly as her beautiful voice. If he didn't know better, he would swear she was his mate-but that's impossible. Justin is the Beta of City Pack, the largest werewolf pack in the United States, and he absolutely cannot have a human mate.
As their connection grows and they begin to act on their attraction, Justin hides the truth from Tareth. But when a series of attacks on members of the two Boston werewolf packs occurs, Tareth's life is endangered. To protect her, Justin has no choice but to tell her what he is-even if it means losing her forever.
