"Don't go back there," Atticus whispered, but as I reached out and allowed my fingers to follow the jagged lines of the scar, my mind went right back to that night.

When Violet Sullivan moved to Shadow, Alabama, she'd planned on living a simple life with zero distractions. Then along comes Atticus Wilder, the six-foot-two Lycan with a heart as gold as his eyes. As the Alpha of the Shadow Wolves pack, he comes with a whole host of trouble.

Between falling in love with a werewolf, finding out her parents aren't actually her parents, and realizing that she's a lot less human than she thought-Violet's stress levels are pretty high. Not to mention that her obsessive ex-fling, Michael, is still lurking somewhere in the shadows.

As she tries to balance her carnal relationship with Atticus and her newfound responsibilities, Violet certainly isn't prepared to deal with the rest of Shadow's supernatural drama. But when a body comes into the coroner's office that is a little too familiar, she realizes that her problems are just the tip of the iceberg.
