Can men who each bridge two worlds make a life together?<br><br>Blaze Canis is doing what he loves best. As a shooting range instructor just outside Yellowstone National Park, the former Navy SEAL sniper is still handling firearms. When Shoshoni native Logan Rider walks into his class one morning, the attraction each man feels for the other is sudden, almost mystical. Since Blaze’s teammates never knew he was gay, let alone a werewolf, he’s confident in hiding his wolf nature from Logan, too.<br><br>But will keeping his secret work, or will it blow up in Blaze’s face as his relationship with the American native deepens?

Awakening the Alpha

It wasn’t that he felt burdened by keeping secrets in general. His teammates hadn’t known about his sexual preferences or his shifting abilities in the twenty-one years he’d been in the US Navy. Since even retired SEALs were bound by oath not to reveal details about their operations, keeping secrets was ingrained. What bothered him now was hiding his werewolf from a man he respected and was growing to love. Maybe because of his Indian connection to the earth and its animals, Logan would accept the supernatural part of Blaze. Maybe he would be horrified by it.


Looking at this man who so entranced him, he convinced himself that since his teammates hadn’t known he was gay or a shifter for over twenty years, Logan need never know he was a werewolf. He would keep that from him. Because of the pull of the forest when the moon was full, it was likely he’d have to leave Yellowstone. Living in Encinitas, near or with Logan, and away from the siren call of the woods, he would do just fine.
