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.

	“Keena? What are you doing here so late?” she asked and ushered the woman inside. She glanced behind her and saw that she was alone. “Where is your father?” he usually accompanied her anywhere she went, acting as chauffeur and bodyguard. 


	The girl was solemn as she let Loriann lead her to the kitchen. The warm smells of pumpkin pie drifted through the air, thick with spices and butter. Keena sat down, somehow still regal despite wearing a thick winter coat and jeans.
