Moe Rivas has spent her whole life waiting for the perfect storybook romance, but as she approaches her senior year of college -- single, and incredibly disappointed with the male species -- she decides she's sick of daydreaming. Turning her back on love, Moe hooks up with Theo Landing, the grumpy barista from her favorite coffee shop. And it goes a little too well.

Though she was once abandoned and alone, she is now surrounded by family from two of the most powerful werewolf packs.
