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.

“The monsters from inside the forest?!”


The boy makes a sad face, “You don’t like them? But they’re a part of me. Does that mean you don’t like me?”


He tilts his head and I feel the temperature drop around us. There’s more meaning to his question and I’m not stupid. He may look like a child but he is far more dangerous.


And I have a feeling that being inside a dream isn’t going to offer me any protection.


“I don’t dislike you,” I say, slowly, my eyes are on the crazily flickering shadows. “But you said they were monsters who wanted to hurt me and now you’re saying something else. So, I’m a little concerned.”


He snaps back to normal almost immediately, beaming, “Oh! Yeah, they do want to hurt you but they can’t. I won’t let them. I’ll never let anything hurt you, Isabel. You’re mine.”


My blood curdles in cold fear at the darkly possessive edge to his tone.
