Captain Walker was in control of his inner grizzly before he joined the Fastlander Crew. Now, having his brother as his Alpha has his animal riled up and fighting everything. When he sees a woman from his past, he knows she has the ability to understand his history, and that chance meeting dredges up the urge to lean on the fragile human. Sloane has changed in the years she's been gone from Damon's Mountains, but those changes intrigue him. She isn't the woman he thought she was all those years ago…she's more. On the verge of a war with the Holland Pride, the timing isn't great for bringing a human potential mate into the picture. She's kicking up instincts inside of him that could get them both annihilated. The good man in him knows she needs to remain untethered to the Fastlanders and all the trouble the Crew will bring, but the monster in him doesn't care.

Sloane Middleson has just had her life turned upside down, and now she's back near her hometown trying to figure out her next step. Captain Walker was the boy she had a crush on all those years ago, but he wasn't a good match. Now? Captain is different. Bigger. Grittier. More dominant…and in many ways, more frustrating. She can't stop seeking him out though, and she doesn't know what is wrong with her. She is drawn to him in ways that make no sense to a logical, responsible woman like her. Bringing him into her life is complicated, to say the least, but sometimes life doesn't have the best timing. She thought her story was ending, but Captain is showing her that the adventure has just begun.
