"Everyone's a mess. Some people just hide it better than others." Alex is a college student, just trying to get through the insanity that has been her life for the last three years--since the night of her sixteenth birthday, when she was attacked and Turned into a werewolf. She hides her fears and nightmares about that night behind a thick layer of sarcasm and wit that she puts on for the world, and she's finally getting back on track with her life and recovering from her demons. Jack is a lower-ranking Pack member--he only works in the kitchen, but he's looked for his mate for as long as he can remember, so imagine his surprise when he finds her at the local supermarket, and she instantly shuts him out. He just wants a normal life--one with stolen kisses and midnight dinners and crappy apartments and maybe a family, some day in the future. Unfortunately, with Alex in his life, normal is the last thing he's going to get. But even as Jack and Alex are trying to find their way in the world, a threat is looming--one in the form of resurfacing enemies and shadow organizations. With this threat to the world growing ever-bigger, will Alex be able to push aside her haunted past and save herself, her mate, and her world? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This book is Mature for a reason.
