It really was unfortunate that he was also the most stubborn, controlling, downright infuriating jackass she’d ever known as well. Oh, and there was the fact that he was a werewolf – a werewolf who has bitten her. Sixteen-year-old Katherine Mayes had never believed in mythological creatures like werewolves or mermaids – certainly not those sparkly vampires that her friend Abby was obsessed with. Even when she’s bitten by a massive animal after a reckless night of teenage adventure and her body begins to change in mystifying ways, she can’t force herself to believe in what she’s convinced is impossible. Little does she realize she’s been infected with a disease a little more permanent than the rabies she feels fortunate to have not contracted. Lycanthropy. Her fierce denial is soundly shattered, however, when she is simultaneously saved and kidnapped by Bastian and his pack. Forced to leave small town Iowa behind and adjust to their way of life in a hidden society, Katherine must also deal with fighting the pull she feels towards the man – or wolf, rather – who has bitten her and disrupted her life so completely.

Things go from bad to worse when I'm captured by an evil vampire king who declares I'll be his mate. When I refuse to marry him, I'm punished for months. Near death, I escape, pursued by the king's most vicious guard. I'm weak from starvation when Rock, a giant, ruggedly-handsome man finds me in the alley and offers me sanctuary. But while his looks and kindness ignite passion inside me and soon capture my heart, it becomes clear that Rock's not actually human and has dark, painful secrets of his own that keep him from giving me what my body most desires. Rock introduces me to his charming and elegant vampire friend Grayson, who sweeps me off my feet, quite literally, with offers to feed me, bed me, and help me develop my power. Gray has everything my body craves, but he’s hiding secrets, too, and while he gives me such pleasure, I fear he may never offer his heart.

My quest for safety is derailed when I grab the attention of Colton, a hunky, clean-cut cop, who has vowed to kill every vampire alive. I can’t deny how hard I’m drawn to Colton—a human—but at least he doesn’t recognize what I am. Not yet.
