He's known love and loss, and now his past mistakes are coming back to haunt him. When the sensuous schemer Sophia, on the run from a Saudi prince's harem, begs for Truth's help, he has to respond—she's the sister of his former lover, Colette, a woman whose life he ruined. And now he, Sophia and Colette are caught in the middle of an all-out war between an ambitious DA and a drug kingpin. Daring rescues, hair's-breadth escapes, a trail of thrills stretching from NYC to New Orleans. . .can Truth handle it?

For Elena Michaels, being the world’s only female werewolf has its advantages, such as having her pick of the Otherworld’s most desirable males. And she couldn’t have picked a more dangerously sexy and undyingly loyal mate than Clayton Danvers. But now their bond will be put to the ultimate test. A werewolf more wolf than human and more unnatural than supernatural—a creature whose origins spring from ancient legend—is hunting human prey, and Elena and Clayton must track the predator deep into Alaska’s frozen wilderness. But the personal stakes are even higher. Either Clayton or Elena has been chosen to become the new Pack leader, and every wolf knows that there can be only one Alpha. The couple have always been equals in everything. Now, when their survival depends more than ever on perfect teamwork, will instinct allow one of them to lead and the other to follow?
