The call of the night is rising . . . Since the beginning, when the first skinwalker ancestors--the lupines--shed their skins and transformed from wolves into men, shifters have roamed the earth as both man and wolf. As the first people, they watched the evolution of humankind and were soon named the guardians of earth and the watchers of mankind. But the shifters soon discovered they shared something in common with humankind: an infinity for both good and evil and a growing desire to claim the hearts of the sons and daughters of man. ETHAN Lupine shifter Ethan Cotter, a member of the Shoshone clan, has a problem. And that curvaceous problem, with long, tantalizing legs has a name, Sadie Reed. Orphaned at birth, Sadie never knew her true family, but a clue sends her running to Kensington Cove. The day she arrives, a driving mishap lands her in the arms of one hot, sexy, leather-clad biker, Ethan Cotter. The wolf in him stirred the moment they met. But Ethan's worried his secret will scare her off. But Sadie has secrets of her own, secrets that will turn Kensington Cove into a battle zone for supremacy.
