All Blaire Kincaid wants is to make her father proud. So far her track record isn't so great. That's why she takes the case from one of the most influential women this side of Montpelier. The advance she gave her would go a long way in getting her new private investigator business up and going. So using her newly polished P.I. skill-set, Blaire heads out to find the long missing heir of multi-billionaire Maximillian MacGlenary.
But Darian MacGlenary doesn't want to be found. And when he sees her traipsing up his Appalachian hollow, he wonders what a girl like her is doing in his neck of the woods. The burly and bearded mountain man has tucked himself far into the backwoods on purpose.

She's determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive. Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own. At the center of the dispute is a desperate young woman whom Emory can't turn her back on, even if it means breaking the law.

It contains Mature Themes and (some) violence, if you are sensitive to that kind of action please find another book. There will be no warnings. THIS IS CLICHÉ! It follows a story line similar to 99.9% of Wattpads werewolf books! I wrote this when I was young and hopped on the trend of cliché werewolf books. This isn't the best nor do I think it is.
