To the people of Tallow, Maine, Damien Ashford is just a reclusive mechanic with a shop on the edge of town. But to those who dwell in the woods, he is the Alpha of the Ashen Ones, heir to a blood-soaked Wolf Throne. When Jazz Snow brings her broken-down truck to his shop, she expects a repair bill, not a primal bond that threatens to tear her world apart. After one night of forbidden passion, Damien casts her out to save her from himself-and from the enemies already closing in-he thought he was protecting a human. He was wrong. Jazz isn't just another customer. She is the daughter of a rival pack. As war rages for the Wolf Throne, desire and destiny collide, and Damien and Jazz must choose between the bond they were never meant to share and a fate written in blood.
