Mia Thompson, 17-year-old, moves with her mother Victoria to the small town of Little Blackfield.
There, Mia meets two handsome young men:
• the mysterious and reserved 17-year-old Liam Blackwood
(a werewolf and the future Alpha of the Blackwood pack)
• and his 17-year-old wild cousin Ethan Blackwood, who is currently living with Liam
and his grandmother.
Mia and Liam feel a strong connection from the very first beginning, but neither of them wants to admit it.

Excerpt:
Liam slowly stepped toward her. He seemed tense, like a predator unsure whether to fight or flee. His eyes met hers. "I don't know if I should be seeing you, Mia," he finally said, quietly.
"Why?" she whispered.
Liam came even closer, until only an arm's length separated them. His gaze wandered over her face.
"Because you change everything," he said.
