When Jer kisses his best friend Raven, the feelings they've been avoiding surface-including secrets from the past that might destroy them both. Jeremiah Taylor's responsibilities as the new pack beta are crushing him, especially with the unpredictable mood shifts since his shaman-supplied bipolar meds ran out. It's the combination for doing something stupid, like kissing the one woman he's never let himself pursue-his best friend Raven Takahashi. When Finn left the Red Rock pack, Raven's on and off again fling took her safety net with him-the one barrier keeping her from the raw and real way she feels around Jer. The moment the Pandora's box opens after they kiss, she can no longer deny the sparks between them or hide from the demons of her past. And when one of those demons shows up in Beaver Tavern representing an anti-shifter group to take over their land, Raven's secrets threaten to get dragged into the light, which could cost her everything-her friends, her pack, and her home. However, if she and Jer don't thwart the anti-shifter group's takeover attempts, the entire Red Rock pack might find themselves banished from their own land.
