Kollyn Harper is out for a girls' night with her best friend when she bumps into a mountain of a man. His green eyes linger on her in a way that feels wrong-too intense, too knowing-and long after she leaves, she can't shake the feeling of being watched.

She doesn't realize that moment is only the beginning.

With her brother's gambling addiction taking root in their lives, Kollyn was already destined for ruin-but she never expected someone else would claim her first.

He has been different since the moment he was born-empty where others feel, untouched by guilt.

Until her.

One encounter in a crowded nightclub is all it takes to unravel something inside him. Kollyn Harper becomes the one thing he can't ignore, the one thing he can't let go.

He doesn't understand what she is to him.

Only that she's his.

When something threatens to take her away, he doesn't hesitate.

Because a wolf was never meant to feel mercy.
