Draike Weatherby. Gallery owner. Fox shifter. Alpha. He runs his districts with a fair but iron hand, working with the other shifter races as well as the Vampire Lord of London to keep crime to a minimum and the existence of nonhumans a secret.

Until now.

A nest of rat shifters prowls the docks and challenges Draike's rule. When members of a loyal gang of shifter runaways disappear one by one, the alpha goes on the hunt for answers. What he finds is Olivia. Naked, bleeding, and fleeing a trio of unsavory characters, she runs straight into his arms…and stirs his most protective instincts.

As he digs deeper, he discovers an interconnecting web with a single common thread: Olivia. To uncover the truth, he must gain the trust of the terrified woman who entices his fox. But she guards a secret that could destroy or save her.
