Arriving in a new town with an undercover identity to protect and the mission to find a pureblood vampire to save her brother's life, the last thing Annabel needs is to fall in love with the sexy, persistent werewolf who thinks she's a helpless human in need of a knight in shining armor. Shane is a dominant werewolf who also happens to be the local sheriff. He has almost lost hope of finding his better half. So when his beautiful soul-mate shows up and rogue vampires try to kill her, he does what any smart wolf would do: he saves her and takes her home, hoping to convince her that they belong together.
