THE WOLVES OF HOOD MOUNTAIN Book 1: Hunter - Part 1: Into the Woods
My name's Bianca Ashford. Young, pretty, big house in Cali, wealthy family, studying fashion, and the cherry on top, a boyfriend who's rich and hot. That's the glamorous side of the story. But it's just a front. Because in reality, the movie of my life is a lot less Instagram-worthy than the poster makes it seem. I can't get over my mom's death, my blended family is a total nightmare, and my dad's in the ICU. Wait, that's just the teaser! The trailer of my Christmas break gets a whole lot crazier with some added action. Ruined birthday and holidays, surprise snowstorm, car crash, assault, kidnapping, and being held hostage... Oh, wait-scratch that. I narrowly dodged that last one. Or did I? My so-called "rescuers" seem just as dangerous as my attacker. Strangely handsome and mysterious, they take me to a hideout in the mountains that looks straight out of a fairytale. But not the kind with happy endings, of course. No, more like the ones told to scare kids. Am I really out of the woods now, or is my story about to get way worse?Complete

To ensure she doesn't run with the money, Viktor binds her to a dark, magical Blood Contract. If Kaelen's heart doesn't stop beating within 30 days, Serena's heart will stop instead. Serena effortlessly breaches Kaelen's heavily guarded fortress. She slips into his bedroom in the dead of night and raises her silver dagger. But just as she strikes, the Shadow King opens his icy blue eyes. Their gazes lock, and the absolute, undeniable explosion of the Fated Mate Bond slams into them both. The Trap (Rising Action & Forced Proximity) Kaelen disarms Serena in seconds, but instead of executing the assassin, his feral inner wolf immediately claims her. Much to the absolute fury of his Beta and pack security, Kaelen refuses to throw her in the dungeons. He locks her inside his luxurious penthouse suite. What follows is an intense, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse inside a gilded cage. Serena is desperate to complete her contract to save her own life, leading to several creative, close-quarters assassination attempts (a poisoned dinner, a hidden blade, a shattered glass).

Serena realizes Kaelen isn't the cruel tyrant Viktor claimed he was; he is a brilliant, fiercely protective King who actually listens to her.
