Finn York has already had bad experiences with werewolves. Scarred mentally and physically by the experience, his disgust causes him to fight the attraction he feels to the female werewolf he met at Wolf's Hole. And yet her scent attracts him with the irresistible force of the instinct of a werewolf uniting with his mate. Jocelyn works as a waitress at Wolf Hole. She took notice of Finn a few months ago, but the sudden change in him is confusing her. When she waits on his table one night, he begins to growl and sniff the air as if he can smell her arousal. Jocelyn becomes even more confused. But her interest in Finn intensifies, and she tries to find a way to get him to overcome his disgust and claim her marital rights.
