A poisoned aquifer is about to tip two rival werewolf packs into open war over a sprawling desert border town. Ocotlan is the enforcer for the highway pack, sent to hunt down the saboteur before her Alpha orders a massacre. Tlalli is the sister of the ranchland Alpha, dispatched to stop the highway enforcer from crossing the border.

When they clash in the dry brush, the fated mate bond snaps into place between them.

Now they are bound to the enemy. If Tlalli’s brother finds out, he will gut Ocotlan and burn her pack’s truck stops to the ground. If Ocotlan’s Alpha finds out, she will be executed for treason. They have to solve the poisoning, keep their warring families from slaughtering each other, and figure out how to survive the lethal pull of a bond neither of them asked for.
