When Shay Ryder is chosen to be one of only twenty-five girls who were hand-picked by the Prince himself to be part of 'The Ringing' - a competition held to become the next princess of the Royal family - you would think that she would be excited; who wouldn't want to be the next Queen of werewolves? Shay wouldn't, that's who! She's happy with the life she had at home with her family and friends and doesn't want anything to do with being part of The Ringing; to her it's a downright disturbing concept, a bunch women fighting to win the heart of one man. Unfortunately for her participating in The Ringing is not optional, its mandatory; that being said she soon finds herself on her way to the Royal lands and stuck in a house full of Alpha females who all have one goal in mind 'win the heart of the Prince' well, everyone but her, that is. Cale Reyes is the eldest son of the Royal family and is about to embark on a rollercoaster ride of emotions; being the future King it's of the upmost importance that he chooses the right female during The Ringing to stand at his side to be the future Queen. You would think that the decision would be easy; just find the woman that he is most compatible with and has the potential to be a great Queen, but he soon learns that things aren't quite as simple as he thought they would be. Between trying to get to know a group of women within a limited amount of time and fighting with himself on what to do with a certain 'stubborn girl' he finds his decisions getting harder and harder as the weeks go on; as if that wasn't enough to deal with, he also has the conflicting opinions of his two brothers weighing on his shoulders when it comes to a certain someone.

"Rule number one," He whispers, pulling back to look me right in the eye, "Never let your guard down." He flashes me a cunning smirk as I stare at him, stunned at what he had just done. Only, he makes a mistake of turning to see what everyone else ahead of the bleachers is doing. I smirk and take a step back forcefully. Just as he turns his head back to face me, I swing my arm at his face. "No. That's rule two," I snap, "Rule one is never turn your back to your opponent." Faye Williams is not the type of girl who would call for the attention. However, she calls things as she sees them. Faye's not afraid to use her fist, for that's all she's ever known. Some call her a good girl while others call her a rebel. What most people don't know is that she's witnessed things that not many people get to witness. With an unstable mother who blames her for a needed divorce, she's seen, heard, and knows plenty. It's not until she moves to Miami, Florida with her dad, that trouble arises. Let's just say that the odds are not in her favor, especially when it comes to that notorious 'bad kid' Travis. Yet, for some reason, she feels that fixing the bad boy will mend herself. When a powerful gang leader, a notorious bad boy, vengeful mother, and two faced acquaintances enter the equation, Faye knows there's nothing to save her now. *Copyright © 2013* All rights reserved.

Fay Lara just didn’t care. The fact that the totally kissable guy she had just physically abused was actually the Crown Prince of the country? He can be freaking Santa Clause for all she cared. Why you may ask? Because he’s an ass who deserved it, that's why. Gentle Reminder: This book was written when I was young and fanciful, thus, as side effect of being young and fanciful, many grievous errors of grammar, loop holes and spelling mistakes had unintentionally been committed. However, I am in the middle of correcting said errors so tread with care. You have been warned.
