On the run from the genetics lab that made him, a nameless werewolf crosses paths with a young woman whose aura glows with primordial fire. Though he should keep running, he has to know the reason for her light.
Miranda, in New York for farrier training, is intrigued by the queer stranger who reacts to her secret with joy and awe, unlike her family who fears her.
Choosing the name Jason, he puts down roots for the first time since his escape. As their friendship grows, Miranda's ability to manipulate fire strengthens, catching unwanted attention from the geneticist hot on Jason's tail.
To save the woman he's come to love, Jason must choose between abandoning the new life he's created or standing with her and facing his greatest fears.
