She grew up in a world different from his. While he conquered battles, she read books and studied history. While he led an entire pack of wolves, she drowned in knowledge about the realm they live in. While lives hang in his shoulder, she was taught not to associate with any of his kind. But they knew all too well to know that fate does not work like that, and people who are destined for one another, will meet no matter how big the differences between them are. --

Rio Mendez has been gone for a while now. Now that he was back, he was about to learn that I wasn't the same bratty little sister who used to tag along with her big brother, doing everything I could to make their lives miserable. Something else he didn't know was just how skilled I'd become when it came to going after what I wanted. And what I wanted more than anything right now was one sexy hunk of prime male, Rio Mendez. Now that he's finally home from his last tour of duty I planned on going after my man. I was done being the shy eighteen year old girl that he'd regrettably kissed. I was over being the little girl he'd taught so well with her first lesson in genuine heart break. Starting today I'm officially a woman on a mission. A mission that I personally deemed as "Operation Attain Rio". Failure was not an option.

In a world of monsters and gods, the Lupus Deus is the one being no one wants among them, especially not the gods that wronged him. Vivian Grey is as average as any werewolf comes, or at least that's what she believes growing up until she is confronted with the fact that her mate is the monster she heard stories about growing up. It doesn't take her long to realize that he is as cruel as whispered, as unfeeling as he is complex, and far more monstrous than believed. When push comes to shove she'll have to learn to navigate her own strength or risk being drowned in his. As a war between her mate and the gods that made him take place, love, might just easily become a double-edged sword.
