Laurel walks out of a maximum-security penitentiary after serving ten agonizing years for a slaying she never committed. Freedom brings fresh agony when she discovers her mate Ronan bedding her former confidante, while her own young son treats the usurper as his mother.

She prepares to strip the arrogant pack leaders of their unearned dominion.
