Returning to Bandit Creek, Callie Jamison discovers her grandmother’s legacy includes a curse and the last thing she needs is to fall in love. Anteros, dark twin of Eros, is overworked since his brother started running amok shooting all the wrong people – including Anteros. The clock is ticking. Is the attraction they feel the real deal or have they been 'Shafted' and it's just a cruel illusion?

Career focused SARA GARDENER, orphaned at a young age, knows nothing of her family’s secret heritage; that of the Wulverkynn, a nearly extinct breed of female able to survive mating with a Wulver male and his only hope of salvation. The hiding in plain sight life, twenty-nine year old, RYAN SHERIDAN loves as the entertainment world’s ‘wolf-whisperer’ is about to come to an end. As a Wulver male, he must accept an arranged mating bond, neither party wants by his thirtieth birthday or be put to death before he turns into a full-blown werewolf and becomes a mindless killing machine. At the Romantic Times Convention in Atlanta, loneliness and desperation lead to one night of passion that shakes the foundations of both their worlds when Sara finds herself in the cross-hairs of a secret society of zealots bent on Wulver-kind annihilation and Ryan struggles to keep her safe, both from his people’s ultimate threat and even more dangerous - his soul-deep instinct to claim her as his own.
