Avery Woods takes pride in her small wine shop in Breckenridge, Colorado, but the pressure of Oktoberfest renovations has her stretched thin. When a friend introduces her to Mason a new carpenter in town with steady hands and a guarded intensity she’s grateful for his help and unsettled by how quickly he gets under her skin.

Then Ethan, a U.S. Forest officer, shows up to investigate a string of brutal animal killings near Avery’s home. His commanding presence leaves her uneasy, yet she can’t ignore the pull between them. Soon, whispers of werewolves ripple through town, and Avery realizes neither man is what he seems.

Two men. One heart. And secrets sharp enough to tear everything apart. As passion tangles with fear, Avery is forced to choose who to trust and how far she’s willing to go when love itself feels like a dangerous gamble.

Will she risk her heart, or lose it to the monsters in the dark?
