Sam Bishop is on the run and the safest place he can think of to hide is the ranch where he grew up. He just doesn't expect Jesse McCaffrey, the ranch owner, to be waiting for his return. The man is both angry that Sam left him five years ago and determined to make sure that Sam never leaves again.
But the danger that Sam is fleeing is right on his tail and Jesse will have to reveal his darkest secret in order to save Sam. Getting Sam to stay after that will take more determination than Jesse might have. A little luck wouldn't hurt either.
And if that doesn't' work, Jesse will just claim Sam as his Lycan mate and keep him anyway.
