Green Creek Tome 1
Wolfsong

Ox Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson : Ox wasn't worth anything. Then he left. Ox was sixteen when the Bennett family moved next door, with a secret that would change him forever. For the family are shape-shifters, transforming into wolves at will. Ox is drawn to the friendships they offer and finds a particular ally in Joe, the youngest Bennett boy. Joe is charming and handsome, but haunted by scars he cannot heal.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town, and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared, tragedy split the pack and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three years later, the boy is back. Except now he's a man - and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
