Not every werewolf can lead the pack, and that suits Theo just fine. He's built a quiet life as a game tester, and has no desire to change it. But when he pulls Anastasia from a river, it thrusts him right into the public spotlight he dreads--and brings him to the attention of Max, Anastasia's brother.

Like Theo, Max has a secret: he can communicate with ghosts and spirits. When life-draining spirits begin to stalk Fort Rivers, it will take them both to save the day. And as they work together to protect their town and their loved ones, Max starts to see a man he wants, and Theo a man he might be able to trust. But before they figure out what they could be to each other, an even darker threat comes to Fort Rivers . . .
