Overview

KJ Carson lives an outdoor lover’s dream. The only daughter of a fishing and wildlife guide, KJ can hold her own on the water or in the mountains near her hometown outside Yellowstone National Park. But when she meets the shaggy-haired, intensely appealing Virgil, KJ loses all self-possession. And she’s not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that they’re assigned to work together on a school newspaper article about the famous wolves of Yellowstone. As KJ spends time with Virgil, she also spends more time getting to know a part of her world that she always took for granted . . . and she begins to see herself and her town in a whole new light.

Goodreads:

Everything about Anna’s life is a secret. Her father works for the Branch at the helm of its latest project: monitoring and administering treatments to the four genetically altered boys in the lab below their farmhouse. There’s Nick, Cas, Trev . . . and Sam, who’s stolen Anna’s heart. When the Branch decides it’s time to take the boys, Sam stages an escape, killing the agents sent to retrieve them.

Anna is torn between following Sam or staying behind in the safety of her everyday life. But her father pushes her to flee, making Sam promise to keep her away from the Branch, at all costs. There’s just one problem. Sam and the boys don’t remember anything before living in the lab—not even their true identities.

Now on the run, Anna soon discovers that she and Sam are connected in more ways than either of them expected. And if they’re both going to survive, they must piece together the clues of their past before the Branch catches up to them and steals it all away.

Wolves, Boy and Other Things That Might Kill Me
by Kristen Chandler

Virgil goes to his sleeping bag. He takes off his boots and then his shirt and then his pants. His boxers are taxi yellow. Everything about his body is real and beautiful.

"What are you doing?" I say.

"I'm cold." He shrugs and climbs inside his bag. "You should try it."

"My dad warned me all you wanted to do was take my shirt off."

"I took my shirt off." Virgil props up on his elbow. "Is that what you think?"

"I think you're not a big fan of clothes, on anyone."

"True. But you're not anyone to me. I want you to come with me to Minnesota. With or without your shirt."
