A simple enough rule - when in doubt, don't shift.
Don't shift in public. Don't shift around humans. Don't shift where people might see, and especially don't shift in front of Officer Charlie Black of the Blackrock PD.
Well, Theron Talbot messed that up. Accident or no, the last person on earth that the Talbot and Fenn clans would want to know their secret now has his sights on Theron, and he's throwing threats left and right.
Locked away from the world.
Sinead thought teaching in the wilds of the north would be good for the soul - until she discovered the children in her class were the wildest creatures up there.
There is no escape from The Extension, their captors made sure of that. Sinead has been trapped with the Holden clan for two years, their captors relishing in the slow decline of the Holden family. Sinead has lost hope for escape or any semblance of happiness.
Then the handsome Theron Talbot appears at her door.
Can she resist the warmth of his embrace?
Driven from Blackrock for what he is, Theron discovers his family have been given a far worse deal for their shifting ways - they've been interred on The Extension. Bleak and hidden away from the world, The Extension has something no other place in the world can offer - the fiery haired, Sinead. The only human on the camp, Sinead suffers from the cold unlike the rest of his clan, and the season is changing fast.
Theron wants nothing more than to wrap his arms around her and protect her from harm. He can't watch her suffer at the hands of their captors. He'll do anything to keep her warm and keep her safe. To get her home.
Even if that means losing his own life to do it?
