Tammy is different. She was born with more of a purpose than anyone could dream, and thinks of no possible happy ending in her future. On the run from a man hunting her since the beginning of her lengthy journey, she enters Austin's territory. They all see her as a girl with no potential, until she shows herself up time after time and rattles things up for the uptight pack. Austin was a lucky boy who grew up privileged as could be, set to take the Alpha position from his father in just a few short years. He had everything that he could ever want with the exception of a mate. His father had sent him off to an all boys boarding school for years, and when he returns, he catches the scent of his mate. Tammy takes the weight off other's shoulders, quite literally, and Austin is one of those that she took that weight from long ago. Can the cocky player of an Alpha and the confused, badass girl with more secrets and power than anyone before her unite? Can he fix her future and heal her wounded heart, and if he succeeds in breaking down the walls that she surrounds herself with, will he run and hide, or fight for what he thinks is his and what she thinks is hers and hers alone?
