Willow Bittermane is a beautiful and aloof cafe owner in a small, semi-remote village in northern Montana. She and the female members of her family are shapeshifters, turning into wolves when the need arises. The town has legends of these “women who run with wolves” but most believe they are just stories. Willow’s life changes when she meets Garin, a handsome man who seems to despise her from their first meeting. He has an irresistible scent, though she is horrified to discover that he is a descendant of the Red Hoods, a family that has hunted her kind for generations. Despite these differences, the two are drawn together and with each other, they fight against the years of blood between their families. 

The Alpha and Her Hunter

“What do you mean?” Garin asked, his head reeling. He walked towards Willow and sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her. He felt her sigh against his chest, her face tucked into his shoulder. She pulled away and looked up at him. 


	“My grandmother tried to warn me away from you. Someone had taken photos of us and sent them to her,” she began. Garin nodded. 


	“It was my brothers. They gave my father the same photos. It was right before the festival,” he replied. She bit her lip, feeling the immense pressure that was descending upon them. 


	“So, they all know then.” She said flatly. 


	“I don’t think they know that we are still seeing each other. At least my family doesn’t. If they knew, they would be beating down my door. I haven’t heard from them since I left. Aside from Audrey but she hasn’t said anything either,” he replied and rubbed his hands gently on her back. 


	“I am convinced my grandmother knows. She keeps staring at me when she thinks that I don’t notice.”
