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.

Rejected by the Beta

“What did Fera do?” I burst out, suddenly worried about my friend.


“She didn’t do anything,” Damien responds. “But she’s injured.”


He picks me up as if I weigh next to nothing and then, tossing me over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes, he begins striding out the door.


“Wait!” I struggle in his hold. “Put me down! I can walk!”


“Be a good girl and stay,” he tells me, calmly.


“Don’t treat me like a dog, Damien!” I snarl. “Put me down or I’m going to start pinching your butt!”


He immediately stops in his tracks and his voice is suggestive purr, “Is that a promise?”


“Pervert!” I try to kick him but he immediately let’s go.


“Fine,” his voice is abrupt, his mood changing in the blink of an eye. “I don’t want you shattering my ear drums anyway.”


He begins walking and I barely manage to keep up, “What happened to Fera?”


“I don’t know yet. She’s being tended to.”
