Feral Chemistry (Hot Under the Collar)

Dr. June Miller is a genius chemist, not a wolf-tamer. But when a lab accident drenches her in "Compound X"—a synthetic pheromone mimicking a female wolf in peak heat—she becomes the most wanted snack in Chicago.

She flees into the nearest bar, which happens to be The Den.

Enter Colton. He owns the bar, runs the city, and has been celibate for a decade. One whiff of June, and his control snaps. He saves her from a bar brawl of drooling wolves, scoops her up, and locks her in his high-security penthouse for "protection."

Trapped together while the chemical wears off, the line between protecting her and devouring her blurs.

Colton is holding back by a thread, and June is realizing she doesn't want to be saved—she wants to be ruined.
