Paisley Darkwood is a typical teenage werewolf in a lot of ways-including hoping that one day, she'll find a fated mate who is caring, intelligent, and strong. But growing up hasn't been easy. After losing her mom, Paisley had to grow up fast, helping her dad look after her younger brother. As one of the most powerful Alphas in the world, her dad adores his kids-but losing his wife turned his love into fierce, relentless overprotectiveness. Desperate to keep her safe, he tries to set Paisley up with another Alpha of his choosing. Refusing to give up on true love, Paisley holds out for her real mate. What she wasn't prepared for was destiny stepping in and linking her to Mason, her childhood enemy-or the dark forces that will do anything to tear them apart.
