Where I talk about the books that have fallen off my shelf
for whatever reason
And then I opened my eyes and
it was just Grace and me –
nothing anywhere but Grace and me –
she pressing her lips together as though
she were keeping my kiss inside her,
and me holding this moment that was
as fragile as a bird in my hands.

Synopsis
The cold
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyes wolf – her wolf – watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn’t know why.
The heat
Sam has two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silence company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace... until now.
The shiver
For grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it’s spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human – and Grace must fight to keep him – even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.
