Terror Howl

Dane Kessler went into Blackpine National Forest to disappear before the beast inside him could hurt anyone else. Then Tessa Vale crashes into his hiding place with a black duffel full of stolen drug money, a ledger that can bring down a trafficking network, and Mason Baird's men closing in behind her. Mason is her former boyfriend, her abuser, and the man who will burn the whole forest to get back what she took. Dane knows exactly what Tessa is running from. He also knows what he becomes when blood, fear, and the full moon pull him under. As corrupt deputies and armed dealers hunt them through abandoned roads, ruined lookout towers, and a mine tunnel beneath the pines, Dane must choose between hiding from the monster and unleashing it. But Blackpine has dangers that do not need a human face: a feral predator bred for violence, winter-dark ravines, and a howl that seems to answer from somewhere deep beyond the trees. To survive the night, Tessa and Dane will have to trust each other. To reach morning, Dane may have to become the thing he fears most. Terror Howl is a fast, atmospheric survival-horror novella about violence, second chances, and the dangerous mercy of being seen clearly.
