Iris Williamson has finally gotten free of her family and the chaotic, oppressive city. Moving to the small mountain village of Grey Lake with her wolf-like dog Riley, she has a chance to make a fresh start. Hired as the new head baker in town, Iris hopes to find serenity among the welcoming residents who know nothing about her past.

Deacon Clay is the beta of the Grey Lake wolf pack and an experienced cop. He has seen his share of criminals and people in need of help in his years as Enforcer to his alpha. He has never, however, encountered someone quite like Iris. The shy new baker has no idea that shifters exist, never mind the fact she is completely unaware of the deadly predator inside her. His violent past haunts him so Deacon tries to stay away from the curvy beauty. Unfortunately, Iris has a habit of getting herself into deadly situations that repeatedly call him to her side.

Little does Deacon know that Iris can take care of herself.
