At Camp Thunderbird, head counselor Leonie MacCormick thrives on the cheerful disorder of shifter cub camp, from laughter and s'mores to pranks and the occasional surprise weasel.
She is far less welcoming toward Shan Zhao, the quiet, severe secret agent in gloves and sunglasses who arrives as if smiling is foreign to him.
What he expected to be a quick mission turns into a real threat against the camp and an encounter with a lioness-hearted woman whose presence steadies the monster inside him.
Leonie does not know they are fated mates, and Shan, convinced he does not deserve anyone so kind and sunny, is determined to keep that truth from her.
The campers have already seen through him, though, and their urge to help may expose both the bond and the danger he hoped to handle alone.
