Lucas Gray has two secrets: he's a werewolf, and he's hopelessly in love with a man. As a teacher in a pious small town, his carefully built walls of control are crumbling. His orphaned niece is starting to sprout claws, his preacher father wants him to marry a woman, and the town sheriff is sniffing around for "unnatural" activity.Everything shatters when he meets Ethan in Boston—a brilliant architect who sees the man behind the monster. Now, Lucas must choose: keep hiding in the shadows of Moonshadow, or risk everything—his family, his community, his life—for a chance at a love that could either save him or get him killed. The full moon is rising, and with it, a howl of defiance.

As he navigates the hardships and joys of his adopted home, he must confront threats from the past and make a definitive choice about where he truly belongs.
