A quiet ranching town in the mountains is plagued by brutal murders. While the sheriff’s department shakes the deaths off as mere animal killings, witness accounts of men crawling from the bodies of wolves and carrying their prey through the forest build up a conspiracy that reality as the town knows it might be far from the truth.
Werewolf and WW2 veteran Wright Lindal is looking for escape on a ranch in Jackson, trying his best to bury his demons, when a night at the bar turns into him meeting the woman who will shake his world from its very foundation. Deputy Howie Black Elk is the only female sheriff in the Teton County Sheriff’s Department, and the only person who believes there might be more to the town’s recent deaths than meets the eye. When she meets Wright, she’s shocked to encounter a soul-shaking lust for the man with rough hands and dirty boots. But she never could have imagined how the night would end: with his bite on her lip, with him behind bars, and with the seed in her mind that he might be the killer she’s looking for, which means he’s not truly human at all.
Howie is determined to prove Wright’s guilt while navigating the fierce power structures and tradition-fueled corruption in her department. Wright seeks redemption in the eyes of the woman he can’t stop thinking of, but after a series of blackouts that link with the timeline of the murders, he’s not so sure of his own innocence. Only one thing is certain: they can’t seem to keep themselves away from each other, and every time they meet ends in heat and explosive, death-defying passion.
The hunter becomes the hunted in this suspenseful tale of underground societies, small town secrets, feral love, and second chances that continues The Lindals series. While Then, Earth Swallowed Ocean occurs first chronologically, this can be read as a standalone.
