My life changed one hot summer evening in 1935\u2014 two young men trying to prove werewolves really could get drunk, a kiss that felt perfect and inevitable, then a painful morning after\u2014 but that night’s twenty-five years in my rearview mirror. I’ve been to war in Europe, returned alone, and built a satisfying life among humans. So now, in my forties, the mere scent of Micah Crue in the sheriff’s office shouldn’t make my heart leap and my breath come short. Except I still can’t control how I feel.<\/p>\n
Micah’s here, in my little town of Highcrest, Wyoming. Locked in the single jail cell for vagrancy, or maybe just not being white enough for the local sheriff. I can’t walk away, even if Micah regrets that summer night so long ago.<\/p>\n
Micah<\/i><\/p>\n
It’s been decades since I saw Lee\u2026 Pierce. He’s changed his name, changed a lot since we were both twenty and joined at the hip. After my wedding to Janet, Lee left our pack and vanished into the big world. My life went on, with love and pack runs, divorce and service overseas, wins and losses. But a few days ago, as I worked a photo assignment in Yellowstone, something pulled me south. Like a cord, tugging at my insides.<\/p>\n
I had no idea the other end of that cord was my oldest friend. Any pack bond with Lee was lost when our Alpha died. But I’ve missed my best friend for half my life, and I really want to fix whatever went wrong between us, whatever made him mad at me that I don’t even remember.<\/p>\n
