Heath by Lynn Hagen

Felix Fox has had it with his dad and his demands on how Felix should live his life. After following his best friend into the mountains, Felix finds his mate. A mate who sends Felix running after Heath bites him. But Felix’s fear has him rushing right into danger, and he’s taken by humans who bring him to a hidden lab and shove Felix into a cage.

Heath Rowe acted on instinct when he bit Felix. He never meant to scare the little fox. Unfortunately Heath is captured trying to rescue his mate. His worst nightmare has come to life, and Heath fears there is no escape for him. When his pack rescues him, Heath’s past demons haunt him, and he struggles to keep them at bay as he shows Felix just how much he wants the little fox.

But something far more sinister awaits them when they take a drive deep into the mountains. A feeder cave is discovered, and the two must flee for their lives while learning just what they mean to each other.
