Summary: Owned by one wolf. Falling for another. And wolves don’t share. Tristan loves college, working at the diner, and his pack. But when hostile wolves abduct him one night, none of that helps him. Suddenly he’s a prisoner in a place where fear is law, and mercy doesn’t exist. Except… someone is watching him. A quiet stranger who flinches from his gaze—but never quite looks away. Colby Williams survives by staying invisible. It’s the only way to placate the wolf who thinks he owns him—and the only way to stay alive. And then the pack drags in a young wolf with bright eyes, who should be terrified by what’s ahead of him. Instead, he keeps watching Colby—curious, hopeful, and alive in a way Colby can scarcely remember being. And when Tristan looks at him like he matters… Colby can’t look anywhere else. He knows it’s a mistake. He knows it’s dangerous. But he also knows it’s already too late. Content note: This book includes material that some readers may find upsetting.
