In Clifford County, Montana, Deputy Sheriff
Kathlene Baylor becomes concerned when a large group of alleged hunters move
onto nearby land. She fears these fully
armed men are anarchists, but her supervisor Sheriff Frawley warns her to let
it go; insisting they are hunters.
Still, the outsiders frighten the locals and intimidate the
council.
Kathlene bypasses her boss and soon the military
send in three members of Alpha Force (Lieutenant Jock Larabey, Sergeant Raif
Nunez and K9 Click to investigate.
Attracted to Jock, Kathlene soon discovers his and Alpha Force’s top
secret even as the evidence mounts that the strangers are anarchists with a nasty
plan for the local community.
The key to the 5th Alpha Force werewolf romantic
suspense (see Undercover Wolf, Guardian Wolf, Alpha Wolf and Alaskan Wolf) is
the intimidation and threat by the armed strangers in spite of these outsiders coming
across as underdeveloped stereotypes. Subgenre
fans will cheer on courageous Kathlene every time the kick butt heroine takes
risks that frighten Jock as he fears for the woman who has hooked his inner
wolf.
