When Tally's brother goes missing in the unforgiving Arizona wilderness, she hires Simeon Wartrace Kavanaugh to find him but, disguised as a boy, insists that he take her along. Sim knows the person dressed in the baggy boy's clothing is a woman, and he can't figure out how she has managed to fool everyone else. But he lets her keep her secret. After all, Sim has more than a few of his own, including the fact that he is a shape-shifter, and at this point in his life, he'd rather run with the wolves than hang out with humans. But Sim has an ulterior motive where Tally's errant sibling is concerned, and Old West justice isn't out of the question. Underneath the paranormal trappings, this is a poignant tale of redemption, where both the hero and heroine feel they have fallen so far down that up isn't possible. Fans of Krinard's To Catch a Wolf (2003) have been waiting for this one. Shelley Mosley
