Belle Newton has never done a wrong thing in her life. So why is she shipped from her warm, suburban house in England to the most heavily guarded prison for youth murderers, in America? Well, although it makes no sense to her, Belle has been asked (forced, really) to go undercover and befriend the infamous Augustus Black. To somehow discover the secret behind the 'beast within'. Perhaps persuade him to use his odd power for good? Or even just to discover whether he has breached the line of insanity or not. But Augustus doesn't appear to want to talk to her, let alone become good ol' buds. He is cold and harsh and seems more inclined to talk to the wall then to even look at Belle. However, after random spurts of emotion from the infamous criminal, she starts to doubt he really did murder everyone he's said to. Especially since she finds it increasingly harder to hate him and easier to watch his lips move when he talks. It doesn't particularly help that Augustus can't seem to keep his hands away from her either. Maybe Augustus isn't insane. Or maybe Augustus is completely and utterly deranged. But for some reason or another, she doesn't believe this beast inside of him is as bad as everyone is saying it is. And for some reason or another, he wants Belle more than she thought possible.

Book 2 in the Rootbridge Pack series. You DON'T need to have read book 1 in order to enjoy this. You'll find a plot summary for An Alpha's Alpha (Book 1) in Chapter 1. J, has been through a lot. A harrowing upbringing was followed by her and her pack being chased by a murderous alpha, Caine, who was intent on owning and destroying J's Alpha, Cassidy. Now, finally, after years of being on the run, J is...safe. She's always been on the outside, a lone wolf with just enough humanity left to attach herself to Cassidy and her pack, but now she's being offered a life in a loving, safe pack, with friends who are practically family. For anybody else it would be a good thing, a chance at happiness, but for J there's just one obstacle standing in her way: The King is dead, long live the King. She may have killed Caine, but his pack need an Alpha and right now, they think it's her. Realising the biggest threat to her pack is herself, J forces herself to leave and set out on her own. She should have known it would never be that easy. Whispers have travelled about Cassidy's protector. About the woman more wolf than most. * Alpha of the Blackoath pack, Logan Black, has been watching J for a while now. Sure, he tried to stop himself but his wolf is obsessed and so is he. Knowing he can never truly have her, he resigns himself to being her unofficial stalker, protector and guardian angel. So, when an underprepared alpha tries to capture her, he readies himself to go to her defence, but he should have known better. As he watches J destroy the pack who'd been sent to capture her, he realises that maybe, just maybe, he's found the only wolf in existence strong enough to match him. Strong enough to be his mate. Strong enough to kill him. However, when it comes down to it, Logan can't quite bring himself to ask the woman of his dreams to end his life, so instead lets her go - and that's where it all goes wrong.
