A Wolf in Headlights Story:

Frost, an eighteen-year-old wolf cast out from his home for the sin of loving wrong, wanders the asphalt veins of the world, his heart a bruise under the weight of hunger and despair. Kicked from his folks’ house, he’s a stray, huddled up on the side of the interstate with nothing but his own dark thoughts.

Then comes Ridge, a fourty-something bara wolf trucker who emerges from the thunderstorm. He sees Frost, sodden and slight, and offers a ride—mercy or menace, ain’t no telling. Frost, too broken for fear, climbs aboard, trading one darkness for another. In the cab’s dim hum, their worlds collide for a fleeting moment. Will Frost carve a path when left with nothing and no one, or will Ridge, with his rough hands and shadowed intent, choose for him?
