Sometimes when you're an information broker, you have to be ready to be anyone to get the information you're after. This is only more so when you're going after the top dogs of corrupt companies, government officials, and the underworld crime elites. Things can get complicated working with and against mafias, drug cartels, hitmen, and many other dangerous criminals. Many people in this position would have multiple identities they'd be ready to switch between. However, even with that, most can't do it the way they do.
They can shift into multiple identities with zero issues, having starkly different appearances that you'd never guess who they could become next. Often underestimated for their lack of other abilities, for "just being a shapeshifter", people don't realize how powerful someone, who can be anyone, really is.
This is exactly who Skye is - a shapeshifter. Although, to be more specific, a half-shapeshifter. While they may not be able to transform into anyone at will, their ability to have a select few appearances that they can change into is just as useful. It doesn't hurt to have some of the most dangerous people in the country wrapped around their fingers either.
Not everyone can be controlled via information, however. There are some that seem to be a vault, seeming to be impossible to find anything about them in order to control them. There are some that Skye will never be able to be in control of, and those are the same ones that terrify them. What happens when they find themself between a rock and one of the most feared criminals?

When the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play.
Except in my case, the "cat" is a wolf... and the "mouse" is me.
Bianca Ashford, just your average human.
But as for playing? Yeah, not happening. I'm not in the mood for fun.
My return to California is a total disaster. It's like my karma tanked the second I crossed paths with those damn werewolves-one catastrophe after another, no break in sight.
The people I love keep walking out of my life, and my world turns into a twisted grab bag of surprises. Spoiler alert: they all suck.
Betrayals, shocking truths, attempted murder-take your pick.
But the real kicker? My "forced vacation" in Oregon left me with way more than just trauma.
And meanwhile, back in the neighboring state, an entire pack is probably hunting me down. Because while I'm doing everything I can to put this nightmare behind me, they sure as hell aren't forgetting me-or the bond that ties us together.
For Hunter, their bossy Alpha, I'm not just some random human. I mean a whole lot more. And he has no intention of letting me vanish.
With his blood brothers at his side, he's ready to do whatever it takes to track me down and, more importantly, protect what's his. Their instincts are sharper than ever, but their patience is running out fast.
The wolves are closing in, my secrets are piling up, and I'm fresh out of escape routes.
When my situation spirals out of control, I'm faced with an impossible choice.
Can I make it out of this, or will the endless curveballs finally take me down?
And more importantly... how long can I keep running?
One thing's for sure: this game is far from over.
