Mason Reiner, an eighteen-year-old who has just graduated from high school, moves to the mountain town of Willow Grove in Oregon's Cascade Range. After leaving California to pursue college, he moves in with his Aunt Penelope, a reclusive woman who insists that he find a job before the school year begins.
Meanwhile, Holden Darius, a twenty-one-year-old werewolf born and raised in the forested mountain town of Willow Grove, is faced with the dilemma of his father refusing to be the alpha his pack so desperately needs. With the past he shares with his father, he is unwilling to listen to the cowardly man preach what he does not practice.
The duality of these two comes face-to-face when Mason Reiner, the bratty twink boy, meets the cocky bad boy Holden Darius. Mason quickly finds himself drawn to the bike-riding leather-bound by mere attraction alone, while Holden is drawn to the white-haired brat by the instinctual pull of his wolf having finally imprinted on his mate.
Yet not all is as it seems in Willow Grove, and the truth of what Mason is and who his family is is no different. The tale of these two fated lovers is one of lies, deception, and societal secrecy that threatens to boil over and engulf everyone in Willow Grove.
As the pair socialize and develop a deeper connection, a sinister force lies hidden in the shadows. Following three suicides, a fourth is imminent, threatening to unravel the deceptive facade that has been maintained for so long around the unsuspecting Mason Reiner.
Will Mason find out the truth from his own family? Will Holden be the one to spill his guts and tell him what he truly is? Or will the dark evil that threatens the town of Willow Grove be the unraveling factor in a lie meant to protect the enigmatic white one?
