Half-hyena, Trista has spent years rotating between Grayslake, Redby, and Boyne Falls. When the Grayslake Itanâthe local clanâs werebear leaderâorders a purge of all hyenas, she finds herself fighting to hold onto the hand-to-mouth life sheâs created. Her carefully built existence is threatened further when a gorgeous werebear strides into her life and demands not just her heart, but her very soul. Sheâll think about it, but not until her shift ends at seven.
Keen seems like a happy-go-lucky, sex-and-sin werebear, but thatâs nowhere near the truth. In reality, his inner-animal wants to go on a bloody rampage and kill half of Grayslakeâjust because it can. After that, it wants to claim the seductive, curvaceous half-hyena female Keen canât get out of his head. The animal doesnât care that most bears wouldnât mind a little hyena tartare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Nope, it peers at her through Keenâs human eyes and has one thought: mate.
When push comes to shove, Keen has to decide if he would rather have the family he was born with, or Tristaâthe woman who makes him realize that true happiness comes in a lush, hyena-shaped package.
