Getting eaten by a wolf wasn't exactly what Red had in mind when he finally escaped the palace walls. Abandoned as a babe and raised in The Queen's court, Red has always been an outsider. When he ventures towards the Dark Forest on an important quest to save his kingdom from the grips of a cruel famine, the last thing he needs is a massive grey wolf stalking him. A wolf who makes it clear that Red looks like a very tasty snack. Wilhelm "Wim" Hoffmann is dangerous, infuriating, and absolutely not to be trusted-no matter how his deep voice makes Red's traitorous heart stutter. If only Wim wasn't devastatingly handsome, if only he didn't cook up such sumptuous meals and use his superior body heat to keep Red warm at night . . . Then Red might remember that wolves aren't supposed to be trusted, especially ones with secrets as dark as the forest itself. But Red knows better than to fall for a wild creature's charms . . . Right? Surviving these treacherous woods-where slave traders and bandits lurk around every corner-will require more than just an uneasy alliance. As their bond deepens, Red begins to wonder if being devoured by a big bad wolf might not be so bad after all . . .
