Synopsis
A gifted changeling researcher has been abducted, and time is short. Mercy is a sentinel of the DarkRiver leopard pack, and Riley is a lieutenant of the SnowDancer wolf pack. The two packs are allies, so each sends a trusted agent to find the missing man before his captors lose interest in keeping him alive. Mercy and Riley must work as a team despite their different backgrounds and habits. As the search goes on, a growing attraction between them begins to threaten both the mission and their own safety, and each has to decide how much to trust the other with the things they have kept hidden.
