Chasing this story could make him. But it might also break him.

This should be easy—slide into town undercover, dig up the local shifter pack’s dangerous secret, and score a headline that finally gets his father’s attention. Too bad Riley hasn’t counted on meeting Jason—and that dimpled smile that knocks him sideways, making it hard to remember what he’s here to do.

For Jason, guys like Riley don’t come to Elk Ridge. They definitely don’t walk into his diner. But it wouldn’t matter even if they did—Jason’s used to feeling like the background to everyone else’s life, even in his pack. Except, somehow, Riley notices him. Really sees him. And for the first time, Jason believes he could be wanted. Maybe… even loved.

Riley’s great at lying, especially to himself. He tells himself he can break his story, earn back his father’s love, and still keep Jason. But those flashes of guilt when Jason looks at him, open and trusting, are getting harder to ignore.

If Riley walks away from the story, he loses his last shot at redemption. His last chance not to be a failure. But if Jason finds out the truth, Riley will break the sweetest man he’s ever known.
