When Talorc - laird of the Sinclair clan and leader of his werewolf pack - must wed an Englishwoman, he's shocked to find that she's his mate. Deaf since childhood, Abigail hopes to keep her affliction from Talorc for as long as possible, just as he has no intention of telling her that he's a werewolf. But when Abigail learns that the husband she's begun to love has deceived her, it will take all his warrior's strength - and his wolf's cunning - to win his wife back.
