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.

There is a churning in my gut, this uneasy feeling, I can’t shake.


Balin walks over to me, his hand caressing the furniture, “Does this room look familiar to you?”


“Familiar to me?” I ask, slowly, my eyes on him. 


When he doesn’t answer, I ask, cautiously, “Why would it look familiar to me?”


He is getting closer to me, and I have nowhere to move. I don’t know what it is happening right now.
