Joanna Hertz has one mission in life: to make the lives of those less fortunate better. She’s devoted most of her life to her work, except for the time she walked in on her boyfriend with another woman. Now her charity is all she has and she likes it that way. When Gerri Wilder promises her romance, she’s not interested. Not even when the handsome Marcus brings her dead heart back to life. Right? Maybe.

Marcus Malone puts the word workaholic to shame. The only time he’s home is to sleep. Then throw on top of that his control-freak inclinations and you have a wolf shifter who has no room for relationships. That is, until he meets Joanna. Once he does, he knows she’s the one for him. Does he want a mate? No. But for Joanna, every rule he has goes out the window.

Nobody, not even Gerri see the turmoil building in Marcus’s pack coming. A war is brewing and his alpha position and his life are in jeopardy. What a time to be alive. Or not. When Joanna goes into action to help him, Marcus has to make a choice—his life or hers?
