Young widow Tally Bernard makes a pact with the devil to find her brother. Simon Kavanaugh is a brilliant tracker due to the legacy of his werewolf father, unknown to Tally.

Not as good as the book with Kieran Holt as hero (Prince of Shadows)...but also one of Krinard's werewolf romances.

When Tally's brother goes missing in the unforgiving Arizona wilderness, she hires Simeon Wartrace Kavanaugh to find him but, disguised as a boy, insists that he take her along. Sim knows the person dressed in the baggy boy's clothing is a woman, and he can't figure out how she has managed to fool everyone else. But he lets her keep her secret. After all, Sim has more than a few of his own, including the fact that he is a shape-shifter, and at this point in his life, he'd rather run with the wolves than hang out with humans. But Sim has an ulterior motive where Tally's errant sibling is concerned, and Old West justice isn't out of the question.
I usually really enjoy Susan Krinard's books. This one didn't quite do it for me.
