Two men haunted by the same ghostβ¦
Falling for βthe other manβ in my marriage was never part of the plan. Then again, according to Nicolae Ursache, I am the other man, and human wedding vows donβt apply. Not to werewolves.
Nicolae is a smug, arrogant alpha male stereotype--and I do mean alpha in the literal sense--but when the same people who killed my wife kidnap my teenage daughter, heβs my only chance at getting her back. The fact that Nicolae was my wifeβs rightful mate means that we share a mutual interest in bringing Ellie home, but I never couldβve imagined how he planned to do it.
I will do anything to protect my daughter. Even if it means becoming the plaything, or worse, of the man I loathe most.
