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.

“Sit down,” Ryan says, and I obey him, not just because he’s my alpha, but because I’m too tired to resist. I haven’t slept since my disastrous second date with Isabel.


Ryan takes a seat across from me at his desk and stares into my eyes.


“Are you having trouble sleeping?” he asks.


“Yeah. Just a lot on my mind,” I shrug. 


“I know the feeling. These rogues have been driving me crazy. I can’t function knowing they’re nearby. It’s like I can feel them watching me,” he says with a shiver. 


I want to tell him to stop exaggerating, stop making up imaginary threats to our way of life, but I don’t have the guts. 


It’s a problem I’m struggling with in all areas of my life right now. 


“I wouldn’t worry too much. Our patrols are going like clockwork, and there haven’t been any new alerts for a few days.”
