Jericho Jinks is sick of life on the wrong side of town. An orphan and a runaway, she's bounced from foster home to foster home, haunted by dark dreams of another past. But she's determined to get herself a new life. Except life has more to throw at her. Channing Stark, or Drake Kemp, for examples. Leader of the gang Avernus, Channing has one goal: Find and kill the dragon. He knows he's close. He also knows the dragon knows too. That's when everything goes haywire with Jericho. Suddenly, she's very important. Particularly to him. But he's not alone in that sentiment. Drake Kemp has a goal too: Destroy Avernus and all werewolves with it. Once and for all. With Jericho by his side, chance gives him the edge. Trapped in the middle, Jericho will have to choose.

“In a mystical dell, secluded for more than a millennium, Unknowingly safeguarded by the wolves of the Desert, Is the celestial lamb that you seek. Among her dowry are the charms of lost ages, Keys to the kingdom the Seven keep. Neither by might nor by treachery is she ensnared, Tempted only by the black wolf of the Wood is she Thus lured out, subdued and made weak. Among the trees walk the gods of lost realms And new bloodlines with Were guardians sleep.” For years, Darby has ventured the world, roaming ancient cities and wild places, to collect and preserve secret knowledge that might be dangerous in the wrong hands. Entrusted as a master to protect something so powerful that it begins to overwhelm her, she retreats from all society to live alone peacefully in a magically-concealed valley with her beloved dog, Tessa. Only Fate and the Moon Goddess Arianrhod have different plans for Darby. One of them is the deliciously sexy, young and powerful Alpha of Candlewood, Ian Gallagher. When their two worlds collide, sparks fly and she begins to wish they could be locked in a bedroom together for the rest of forever. Instead, their journey together will take them where wild things roam. ** "Darby.” My name comes out as a low snarl and I struggle to think. “I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, Alpha.” "That's how I like you.” This almost purrs. His nostrils flare with his next breath and the purr is a low sensual growl. “The better to see to every pleasurable need you have.” Big bad devilishly sexy wolf. Oh my.
