    To save his pack, he’ll need to be caught. But can he be saved? 
    Taylor Walsh is a snake shifter with a reputation for doing what it takes to get the job done. This time it means catching the hunters before they take any more shifters. When the perfect bait appears, all he has to do is convince Justin Brook to play the part. 
    There are only three problems: Justin isn’t an agent; he’s a lawyer. 
    He’s already injured. 
    And Taylor doesn’t want anyone to realize how much he wants the snarly wolf shifter. 
    Justin Brook is part of the Coven’s legal branch, and he’s very familiar with Taylor’s methods because he’d pulled him out of the fire a few too many times. But his latest request is a step too far. He will not be the bait to catch the hunters. However, if he refuses, then they’ll take someone else. And if he agrees, his life will be in Taylor’s hands.

    Billionaire business magnate Gianni Romano has ventured from Sicily to New Zealand driven by the crimes of his father and the memories he wants to escape.
