Royal (Lupus Antiqua Series Book 3)

A human orphan: Melody Winters grew up in the system; shuffled from foster home to foster home, and none of them kind. Now eighteen she finds herself booted from the not so tender mercies of the state and thrust upon the even harder mercies of the streets until she meets Endymion. He's proper, rich, everything she's learned to hate and fear. He won't leave her alone.

An Ancient Werewolf: Endymion was a king among his kind once, and he still lives like one. Secluded away in his own private land, he graces the world with his presence once every hundred years to keep up with the world. On this particular sojourn he finds the one thing he never thought he'd have. His mate: Melody Winters. Only she isn't what he'd imagined he'd want in a female. She's tough, cusses like a sailor on a bad day, and wants nothing at all to do with him.

Will they come together like the werewolf species needs them to, or will they self-destruct?
