Claimed by the Guardian

She hunts for answers in blood. He protects secrets in fur.

Dr. Cecilia Lu is drowning in Detroit's nightmare. The "flu" is transforming people into monsters, and every test, every sleepless night brings her closer to a truth that shouldn't exist. Then Detective Hank Grizz walks in with blood on his hands and a touch that feels like home.

Detective Hank Grizz knows exactly what's turning Detroit inside out. Poison in the water. Shifters going feral. His grizzly clan is dying in shadows while the woman he can't stop thinking about searches for answers that will expose everything. Keeping Cecilia safe means keeping her in the dark—even as every instinct screams she's his.

When Cecilia discovers shifters are real, the conspiracy explodes. Mad scientists want her research. Hank's cover is blown. And the brilliant doctor who trusted him now knows he's been lying about everything—including what she means to him.

She needs the truth. He needs her alive.

Together they'll burn down the lies—if the betrayal doesn't destroy them first.
