Sample: 'My heart was pounding like a jackhammer in my chest as he hovered above me on my bed. His soft, passionate kisses electrified my lips, my body melting as he explored me with his hands. A shiver crawled up my back when his face backed away from mine and looked into my blue eyes. My room was dark but the moon gave it a little light. The only things I could see were his silver eyes glowing at me and his soft, pink lips that were parted. He wore boxers and I in my undergarments. We stared at each other for what seemed an eternity before he finally spoke. "Say you love me, Ella." he demanded, his voice sexy and rough. My eyes grew wide at his unexpected request. My heart was raced in my chest, my breath coming hot and short. I held his face in my cold palms, despite my crazed pulse, and swiped his jet black hair away from his damp face. He smelt familiar; pine, wood and a hint of smoke, but looked like a beautiful stranger in my room. As I lead his face towards mine, our foreheads met and I said the words he desired the most. "I love you, Chasse." I heard a beeping noise in the distance and the world around me started to blur. The last thing I saw were his beautiful, glowing eyes and his smile. Then darkness enveloped me and I was pulled into reality.'

It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
