For as long as Isabel can remember, she’s been a rogue. Her parents are deceased; she has no pack, no mate, and no one at all except for her older brother Ben. She’s grown used to being a nobody, the butt of others’ jokes, and for the most part, alone.

But during a routine errand gone wrong, Isabel stumbles onto a pack’s territory and comes face to face with a fierce—and devastatingly attractive—shifter the likes of which she’s never seen or felt.

Isabel is certain this is her mate. But will he accept her, a nobody rogue? Or will he reject her to maintain his status in his pack?

With growing danger at every turn, Isabel finds herself in the center of a desperate war between amassing rogues and a fearsome pack, working not only to uncover the mystery of what happened to her once-happy family, but to win over the man she is certain is the love of her life.

“She was so hot!” our Gamma Eric says. 


“If she’s so hot, then why’d you break up with her?” Fighter asks. I can’t remember his name, despite spending hours every day with him. He and the other fighter look so much alike that, despite not being related, everyone just refers to them as “Fighter,” and they’re either too dumb to care, or they’re just happy to have any attention at all.


Because every time Eric walks into the room, he sucks up all the energy. His presence is loud and brash and immediately kills whatever calm I’ve managed to cultivate. I can’t stand him, but I’m stuck with him, not just for now, but for the rest of my life. He’s an indelible part of the pack.


“Dude, there are so many girls in this town, I can’t waste all my time on just one,” Eric says with a roll of his eyes. 


“Yeah, like that waitress, What’s-Her-Name, the grumpy one at the diner. I’d love to kiss that frown right off her face.”
