The Delaney Dare needs a new leader—one from outside, after their own Alpha's actions led to the shifter war. Gage McAvoy has agreed to marry one of the previous Alpha's daughters and try to keep the dare from falling apart. Unfortunately, the daughter he's agreed to marry is not the one he wants.
Seneca Delaney is a known latent, unable to shift. She's remained in her dare, enduring rejection and isolation all her life, even from her own father, because she had no other place to go. Standing on the sidelines yet again while Gage marries her older sister is the last thing she wants to do. Then circumstance throws her together with the one man she can't have, trying to save a nation of shifters who don't want her, and risking the exposure of lifelong secrets that could result not only in her death, but in Gage's.
