Stuck With U

Arthur Makken is stuck.

Stuck in Hawkins, Indiana, after his family fled Alaska. Stuck carrying the ancient, deadly secret of his direwolf bloodline. And worst of all? He's stuck with Nancy Wheeler.

Arthur knows his family's shapeshifting lineage carries a terrible curse: the Imprint. An involuntary, inescapable bond that forces a Makken to devote their life to one specific human for love, loyalty, and breeding-or face a torturous death if rejected.

He desperately hates the idea, and he hates that the universe chose Nancy. To fight the terrifying compulsion, Arthur hides his genuine, awkward kindness behind a brutally sarcastic, blunt jerk persona. He'd rather she hate the monster than reject the man.

Nancy, already juggling high school politics and a strained relationship with Steve Harrington, is drawn to Arthur by a force she can't explain, even as he treats her like an irritating chore. The electric tension between them is impossible to ignore, leaving her confused and angry.

But when Will Byers vanishes, dragging the group into the dark heart of the Upside Down, Arthur is forced to drop his facade. Nancy discovers the breathtaking truth about her aggressive new neighbor-and the powerful, primal bond that links their fates.

Now, as the Demogorgon hunts and the secrets of Hawkins Lab unravel, Arthur must surrender to a destiny he despises, and Nancy must choose between the life she knows and the terrifying, unconditional love of a powerful Alpha who is forced to protect her, forced to want her, and stuck with her forever.
