James Lupen is the Wolf of Placer County, ruling it like a count of old after the Federal government fails in the mid-21st century and the impotent State cannot enforce its own rules.Nicole Andone cannot fathom why the Wolf is hell bent on having her, and the more she fishes for information, the more she realizes there is an immense, county-wide conspiracy where nothing is as it seems, and no one is who they pretend to be. People she had trusted her entire life may be harboring monsters and predators, and the only person trying to protect her is the very devil who would own her soul. Will she stand by “the devil she knows” or risk everything and love the man she isn’t supposed to?Will heroes rise to burn the masks and uncovered the deadly secrets, or will their community remain complacent, comfortable and blind to the monsters hunting from within?
