Not long after that ordeal, his roommate (who he’d been obsessed with for most of his adult life) betrayed him in an unimaginably nightmarish way. His life crumbled around him, and he couldn’t make heads or tails of it anymore. So he left. One cheap acre of land in the middle of nowhere and a second-hand RV later, Randy was off in pursuit of peace and quiet. It seems to be working. The land isn’t the best, but it’ll work for his needs.

But every family has secrets, and Randy can’t outrun his past. A series of coincidences sets him at odds with the family without his knowledge; though soon he has the opportunity to prove his loyalty. Violence and Werewolf Mafia rules descend on the quiet mountain settlement, and all of the peace that Randy had been seeking is stripped from the quiet valley in the claws of resentful werewolves on a mission. The intruding werewolves make Randy an offer. Come back to the city to be king of his own domain; or fight and die beside the family he’d only just come to know? Randy will have to decide what’s more important to him. Money, power, and sex; or the wild, open spaces and honest people he’d been yearning for? ----- This book contains sexually explicit content not suited for those under the age of 18.
