Aspiring writer Norah Jacobs needs an escape. In the span of two weeks, her corrupt brother has been jailed for murder and his partner has been hovering on her doorstep, threatening to ruin what little peace she has left. Packing her car, Norah flees the city and goes off the grid, finding refuge in the small coastal town of Bellvale. However, Norah's newfound refuge lands her right in the middle of a power struggle between creatures she thought only existed in fairy tales, and she begins to see that no matter how hard you try to run from your troubles, they seem to have a way of catching up with you...

She has survived. For twenty years she has been running through the woods with the sole purpose of finding a pack that will take her in. Only problem is that no pack in their right minds would take in a scrawling unmated weakling like her. However, what she lacks in strength she makes up with determination. She is set on no longer being a lone wolf. He wants nothing more than to be left alone, but for a strong dominate male like him, it is wishful thinking. Even after going Rogue he is still hounded by the mistakes he has made, the packs he has crossed, and the wolves he has killed. A beast like him deserves to be left alone, to wallow in self-pity and hate until the day he dies. Was it fated that these two meet or sheer dumb luck?
