Walking home at 2 AM was already risky enough without the unsettling feeling that someone was following him through Crimson Hollow’s empty streets. When a vampire breaks into Jalen’s apartment, his quiet life shatters completely. Rescued by a mysterious stranger, Jalen finds himself thrust into a world he never knew existed. Living in a house full of wolf shifters while dangerous creatures hunt him should be his biggest problem, but the shadows from his past refuse to stay buried.

After 265 years, Chase never expected to find his mate in a small mountain town. But when he catches Jalen’s scent and finds him in mortal danger, every protective instinct roars to life. His mate is beautiful, broken, and running from something that has nothing to do with canines or claws. As threats close in from all sides, Chase must prove that some bonds are worth fighting for, and that even the most damaged hearts can learn to trust again.
