Leaving her wolf pack brings them together, but their union will tear apart their worlds. 

Raised by an overly protective wulfkin pack, Daciana leaps at the chance to venture into the human world for her one-year independence ritual. But after someone steals the endangered bear cubs she’s been assigned to protect, she must locate them or lose her job and return home in disgrace. The sexy inspector on the case isn’t making this any easier. Now she can’t stop thinking about him, knowing to date a human is forbidden. On top of that, he has no clue shifters even exist.  

Newly divorced Inspector Connell trusts no one but himself. He’s convinced relationships are a waste of time and thinks burying himself in work will ease the pain. Yet he’s attracted to the gorgeous and mysterious Daciana, even if there’s something slightly odd about her and they steam up the car, his bedroom, and their connection is instant. If Connell intends to keep Daciana, he must learn how to trust again.  

This story is the prequel to Cornered by the Wolf.
