About this book
- [x]
War changes people.
For some, it awakens instincts that refuse to stay buried.
First Lieutenant Mac Carter has spent years learning control. A wolf among humans, he joined the Army to keep the predator inside him disciplined and far from the pack he left behind. War has taught him how to command soldiers, survive loss, and carry responsibility no one else can see.
Then a new lieutenant arrives.
Melvin Hayes moves through the desert war zone with quiet precision, watching more than he speaks. Beneath the calm discipline of an officer lies a secret as dangerous as Mac’s own.
A panther.
In a world where supernatural predators hide behind human uniforms and ancient rules forbid drawing attention, instinct should mean danger.
Instead, something deeper begins to pull them together.
Recognition.
As patrols grow more dangerous and the cost of leadership becomes painfully real, Mac and Melvin find themselves facing more than insurgents and hidden bombs. The bond forming between them threatens to break rules meant to keep their kind hidden.
And once instinct chooses a mate…
walking away may no longer be possible.

Having spent many years in the military I could definitely feel myself there in many points in the story both the hiding, and the wondering what others might think or if they might guess or see too much. The romance was hot and real. I am left wanting to know more about Reynolds, Laird, and the rest of them and what happens to the pack as a whole. I will definitely be waiting for the next volume in this series! )

I can't wait for the next book in the series! \"Above them dusk bruised the sky, violet fading into charcoal as pale stars pushed through the haze. \" The author has an exceptional command of imagery and makes the reader feel as if they are truly in the setting. I immediately liked Mac. He's a dedicated and loyal man with more than one secret that he is concealing from his fellow soldiers and the world. All the characters are intriguing. The budding romance between Mac and Melvin is beautiful....

I typically do not read fantasy, shape shifting books but the cover grabbed my attention and I thought I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did! The descriptive writing style made me feel like I was there watching everything play out in front of me. The storyline grabbed my attention from page one and I found myself invested in the characters. I had a first row seat to the relationship building between Mac and Melvin. Opened my eyes to maybe I do like shape shifters after all. I'm excited to...

We’ve got a military alpha, a panther shifter who absolutely sees through his tough exterior, and a story that mixes action, loyalty, and chemistry really well. It’s not just romance, there’s tension, there’s stakes, and that whole ‘we shouldn’t but we absolutely will’ energy. But what really stood out to me is how the story touches on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. You can feel the weight of that experience in the characters—the secrecy, the pressure, and what it meant to have to hide such a core part...
