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

Damien’s kiss is fierce and as he backs me into the wall, I can feel the throb inside of me of the link that connects the two of us. The mating bond has been growing stronger and right now, there is a fire building inside, a desire to connect and meld, and I give in, wrapping my arms around Damien’s neck.


He growls in delight, understanding my intentions.


He doesn’t ask if I’m ready or if I want to rethink this.


No. The Damien I love wouldn’t ask. Once he had his answer, he would take.


He’ll seize and he’ll devour, consequences be damned. 


My body responds to the hunger in his and when I feel my clothes tear, I know this is it. And I know I’m ready.


I’m ready to put the past behind and choose to be happy again.
