Nash Rhodes roars into Fallen Creek one day, and nothing is ever the same again.


Nash Rhodes is trying to find his path in life, after leaving Nashville and his motorcycle gang in the dust. Fallen Creek, Wyoming, isn’t where he plans on spending the rest of his life, but it’s a nice place to rest for a while and take stock of things so far. Yet Nash has secrets he doesn’t want to share with anyone, especially not a taciturn, scarred cowboy.

 

Cullen O’Murphy is a lone wolf, and he’s been fighting a losing battle against the local shifter pack. He doesn’t want to become part of their pack, knowing what they do for a living. Oh, he’s not afraid. Cullen knows he can defeat the Alpha, but Cullen doesn’t want to lead. He simply wishes to be left alone.

 

One night, he goes for a drink at The Watering Hole, a local bar, and he meets Nash. The lust is combustible, yet both men are leery about trusting the other with all their secrets.

 

Unfortunately, neither one might have a choice as circumstances spiral out of their control.

Book Review

I'm a sucker for a guy on a motorcycle and, even more so, an ex-MC gang member just trying to get away and live a better life. Meet Nash. He left Nashville and his club after months spent in the hospital recuperating from the attentions of his “friends”. The time in the hospital gave Nash plenty of opportunity to look back on his life and reevaluate where he wants to go. He's heading to Santa Monica, California, to see his mom and stops off to rest in a small town in Wyoming. He has no idea it will turn out to be fate.

"Instinct told him that whatever—or whoever—had blown into town would change Fallen Creek—and his life—forever."

Cullen has been a lone wolf his entire life, as his parents were before him. He doesn't take crap from anyone, which explains the scars on his face and body, although he stays away from Robinson because they both know Cullen would win that challenge, and he wants nothing to do with leading a pack. Things get more complicated, however, when he meets Nash. As an outsider Nash doesn't know about pack and wolves, but Nash is fully aware that there are strange undercurrents in this little town in the middle of nowhere. Nash isn't afraid of anyone except his old club leader, so he'll take his time to rest and recuperate a little before moving on.

It doesn't take long after meeting Nash that Cullen's wolf decides it's time to get rid of Robinson and make Nash his. Huh. Cullen was a little surprised by this but figured he agreed with his wolf. Of course, Nash may have thought he got away from his club cleanly, but time will tell whether he can keep them off his back. Granted, a bigger problem is how Cullen is going to explain being a wolf shifter to a human?

Oh, T.A., you total vixen. I never saw any of this coming. You hit me upside the head with the most fabulous of spins on absolutely everything I'd been reading. Way to go! A very exciting, fun, and sexy read with some revelations that come as quite a surprise.
