Bouquet of Regret (Preview)

Orphaned at ten, Angel's moved every few months to escape the monsters salivating in the shadows and protect the brother she hid from them. The new city she calls home is close to the town of her birth and holds the answers to questions she never knew to ask. But with these answers comes a great price. When you know who you are, so does the monster lurking in the dark. Can Angel learn the truth of where she came from without losing everything, including herself?

Keep your head down, don't ask questions. Do not challenge things you cannot change. And do not stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Angel learned these lessons the hard way upon living on the streets. But she will suffer anything if it means her baby brother, Matty, is safe. He's all the family she has left in the world and if her monster finds Matty, he'll destroy him.

Upon arriving in Wolfram, something compels Angel to break her rules. She feels safe with Marcus, the man in whom she finds a kindred spirit. And she's drawn to the teenage boy who rejects her the second they meet. A mysterious pain assails Angel, one that is unprompted as far as she can tell. The boy who rejected her, Kyler, seems to know she suffers it however, and is pleased. Unbeknownst to him, attacking others in her presence is not intelligent. Angel can defeat the cocky alpha in a fair fight even though she's human... isn't she?

There are secrets in Wolfram, dark, sinister secrets. The residents of Wolfram aren't the only ones to realize Angel doesn't understand her capabilities. Someone else noticed Angel. And they will stop at nothing to get her.
