Wolf's Clothing — E.J. Russell

For Trent Pielmeyer, the answer is run like hell -- away from his hostile family, away from the disbelieving cops, and far, far, far away from anything that smacks of the supernatural. After seven years' captivity in a whacked-out alternate dimension, he is so over legend tripping.

When Christophe Clavret spots Trent in a Portland bar, he detects a kindred spirit -- another man attempting to outrun the darkness of his own soul. But despite their sizzling chemistry, Trent's hatred of the uncanny makes Christophe hesitant to confide the truth: he's a werewolf, one of a dwindling line, the victim of a genetic curse extending back to feudal Europe.

But dark forces are at work, threatening more than their growing love. If Christophe can't win Trent's trust, and if Trent can't overcome his fear of the paranormal, the cost could be Trent's freedom and Christophe's humanity. Or it might be both their lives.
