Grey's boyfriend just broke up with him—again. Grey's love life has been a long trail of failed relationships, and he decides drowning his sorrows in alcohol might be a good idea. Turns out it is, although not the way he'd thought. Patrick was supposed to spend the evening with his son, his ex-wife, and her new husband, but Rose's daughter is sick, so he makes his way to the bar instead. There, he meets his mate when he rescues him from a pushy man trying to pick him up. Patrick and Grey spend the night together, and Grey knows his life is about to change. He'd never have imagined how much, though. The day after he and Patrick meet, the body of a man with Grey's name carved into his chest is found at the entrance of pack territory. Another body appears a few days later, making it clear someone is after Grey, especially after he realizes he'd hooked up with both the victims in the past. Grey has no idea who the killer is, and Patrick feels at a loss. He's a detective for the Gillham Police Department, but the only thing he cares about is keeping his mate safe. Will Patrick succeed, or will the killer manage to get his hands on Grey before anyone can stop him?
