Her violet eyes mark her as different, a hybrid in a world where hybrids are forbidden. Treated like an outsider by her own pack, she has learned to survive in the shadows-quiet, unseen, and careful. But everything changes when she meets a dark alpha, a force she cannot resist, who holds the key to the secrets of her life and the power she never knew she possessed. In a world ruled by a ruthless hierarchy, with the Grab Coven hunting hybrids and death lurking at every turn, survival is never guaranteed. Loyalties are tested, alliances are fragile, and every choice could be her last. Yet amidst the danger, a bond ignites-fierce, forbidden, and impossible to ignore-a connection that could save her... or destroy them both. She thought she knew fear, love, and loyalty. She was wrong. Every step draws her deeper into a world of power, desire, and secrets that will change her forever. In a life where darkness hides in every shadow, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and only the strongest survive.

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)
