Diesel's got fangs, feelings, and one very big problem: he's in love with the wrong species.
Diesel Cade has never fit in-not with his clan's archaic customs, not with their forced mating rituals, and definitely not with their hatred of humans. Bisexual, wolf-shifter, and humansexual (yeah, it's a thing), Diesel dreams of escaping the magical forest he calls home and starting over somewhere freer... like Salem.
But when his best friend makes the leap into the human world, Diesel hesitates-until a failed escape lands him in the arms of a brooding, off-the-grid firefighter with a haunted past. Mat is grieving the loss of his family. He's also immune to magic-something that scares the hell out of Diesel's supernatural kin. Something that shouldn't be possible.
As sparks fly and secrets unravel, Diesel must choose: follow his heart into the unknown or submit to the life he was never meant to lead. But with the Howling Moon-and its ancient mating rites-looming, time is running out. And the forest doesn't let go of its own easily.
Forbidden love. Found family. Magic, madness, and one very inconvenient prophecy.
Welcome to the rise of something new.
