Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

For years Wolves and Humans had been at war with each other. Countless lives on both sides had been lost and Humans were slowly becoming extinct thanks to the strength and viciousness of the Wolves. To end the war and save what Humans remained, the Elders forged a treaty with the Wolves, giving them control of the lands once governed by humans. But one Elders' hatred for Wolves would destroy the treaty, giving the Wolves the right destroy the Human race. Welcome to the new world order. A world where being Human is now a crime in itself. A world where Human males were killed on sight, no questions asked. A world where Human females were sent to Carcere and put on display for the unmated male Wolves.
